Damn it Mike. Now I have to go to Costco to buy a bundle of lint rollers and take the week off to go over my towels.

In all seriousness, great idea. I usually just "snap" each towel as it comes out of the dryer which has served me pretty well over the years. But I will grab a few different towels and see what I get. Thanks.

Lol. Just make sure you get the quality brand rollers featuring Scotch adhesives.

Years ago I used to pull them out of the dryer and give them a quick visual inspection before folding them up. After a while I started noticing some bad linting left behind on my black paint work and wondered what could be done to capture the excess lint.

Ironing them out with the lint roller has really helped curtail the left over lint on the paint issues.

Hi Mike...

I appreciate your time and efforts
taken to present this: "How To"!

IMO:
-Refactoring a method, into a method-object, is no small feat.

-And: By naming it, based on the purpose of the method/method-object: you created a new MF inspection class---one that readily accepts as parameters, imputed values of detailers' localized-variables.

-Henceforth...when it comes to MF inspection:
I have no reservations in stating that the STM is method to which many will now ascribe. Some may even declare that the STM will be their "main method".

Not a bad idea at all...will have to try this out.

**Sizzle Chest** · 02-08-2015, 05:56 PM

Will have to add this to my routine. Thanks!

yo

use the yellow sticky rollers.

they can be refreshed very easily to brand new by simply wiping with a soapy (dish soap) sponge and some warm water. they are superior to the paper rollers imo...and way more economical, obv. i have at least two in rotation at all times with a couple more in the wings just in case.

i have some that are several years old and are as good as new.
