@#$& MicroFiber Lint

**jfsully** · 11-03-2007, 08:13 AM

I washed by themselves, did a separate rinse in vinegar and dried with blue balls on no heat. (and yes cleaned lint trap first)

Towels came out looking great very fluffy.........Problem is they lint like mad.

I don't think there is anything more frustrating than waxing the car and having those little lint strands on the surface. Its especially maddening on the glass.

First how do you get that %$% off ? Spray the car with water ???
Second are Cobra towels just more prone to linting?
Third I assume some of this problem is from static, is there any way to reduce the static charge of the surface?

you did what you are suppose to keeping them segregated and washed seperately, how do you store them ??

all towels, especially MF can lint over time and MF tend to pickup more lint and other particles. I keep them stored in ziplocks or in a sealed cabinet. Lint should blow right off, so a leaf blower or drive around the block should work in a pinch !

Have the same problem on some of my cobra's. Someone here recommended boiling the mf's. I tried it and it helped about 50%. I'm going to boil them again and see if that will get rid of the rest. The funny thing is that 2 Jr's out of 6 linted and 1 Indigo out of 3 linted, the rest are fine.

Yeah the purples lint. Pretty much always have for me. Just don't use them for your final wipe down, instead use the blue ones or whatever other towels you have.

Mines the other way around my blue cobra's lint and my jr's don't.

the teal colored cobra all purpose towels linted for me, they are nice all purpose towels becasue I feel like they are thicker then most, but the lint can get annoying. I also think somehow someway I have little teal MF fibers embedded into the paint on my spoiler. I think thet might be under a layer of xmt360 so theyre not coming off...
