Microfiber hairs

[DETAILROOKIE]

I just detailed a car and when I wiped down all of the windows with glass cleaner and a microfiber towel it left a ton of fiber hairs all over the glass. What can I do to prevent this from happening? How can I remove the fibers?

Try using a waffle-weave glass towel instead of a regular MF towel.

Not to be a smarta$$ but it sounds like you might need better MF towels. What glass cleaner were you using?

I was using chemical guys glass cleaner. Perhaps I should stop buying my micro fiber towels at BJs!😂 I will definitely look into the waffle weave micro towels. Thank You!

Try not to dry-wipe the windows...leave them a little wet, the dry-wipe drag tends to pull more fibers from the towels. That isn't 100% of the solution, some of it is the towel.

As far as getting the fibers off, that's going to be hit or miss and may take multiple tries with a towel/technique that isn't leaving anything more.

Thank you for the advice!

I use CG window cleaner and Kirkland MF and have never seen any fiber residue from multiple generations of Kirkland towels. They get a seriously bad rap here that I am dubious of just from my personal experience with them for 10+ years.

Yet another dubious Kirkland user.

Take a lint roller to them before you use them. AGO member Mike implemented this a while back and it absolutely makes a difference.

I find washing them first will help with this issue, But like others have said buy $$$ dedicated glass MF

or give MEGS the green glass ones a try. =)
