    Microfiber for final wipe

    I m looking for sealant or wax final wipe plush towel. I have the short nap rag company towels which are awesome to apply wax or sealant. Only towel that is not leaving behind lint or streaken for me. However i m looking for final wipe plush towel

    i have 6 rag companies eagle edgeless 500 gsm and like 5 eagle edgeless 350 Gms. I used to love these towels on my white car but they leave so much lint on my black audi and i also noticed under better inspection that they leave lint on my white cadillac. I have downgrade half these towels already but i almost feel like downgrading all of them at this point.
    unless the surface is super smooth these towels leave lint. I actually have to come back with my 16x16 pfm and ech2o to remove the lint. I have already tried everything to make these towels come back to life , my orange towels are not even a year old and they already lint so badly
    I dont even think its my washing technique since my other plush drying towels dont lint and i have used some of then to apply a sealant but its not ideal. I m using my sinland towels which are awesome but they are discontinued now on amazon.

    I m trying to avoid using my 16x16 drying towels and stick to dedicated towels for sealant and wax application. I love my short naps for moving the sealant or wax around but i need a final wipe plush towel.

    anyone? Thankss

    That’s too bad. The only towels I’ve had lint from TRC are the minx. You can try running a lint roller over your current towels to see if that remedies the lint. For what it’s worth, I’ve been really enjoying my towels from Klin. I won’t link them but just Google them and you’ll find em.

    I use the rag company everest for final buff. The ones I have are around 800gsm but seen discontinued.

    They still have 550 and 1100’s. Nice medium nap and super soft. Only seem to be good for final buff but excellent towel.

    I dont like those real thick so called "plush" towels- I did when I was a novice. But I have come to find the best at least for me are quality towels in the 350 -400 GSM range.

    I like these-- they are pricey and not available here on this site

    I like the TRC 365, or Pearl for final wipe.

    I'm using the Eagles after BRS with ONR, and a 365 to dry after using the Eagle.

    I've had a bad batch of Eagles that linted really badly, but the towels I bought in more recent years are working great.

    Towel lint and compound dust are my arch nemisis'.

    I still swear by the Cobra Chinchillas for final wiping.

    Those look similar to the TRC Everest. Nap shorter than EE but longer than their short nap.

    If similar I love them for Final buff and QD’s

    I use TRC Edgeless 300 for coatings.

    For wax, sealant and polish removal, I absolutely love the TRC Creature Edgeless.

    16x16 Creature Edgeless Dual-Pile (150/cs) - Ice Grey









    These are a 420 gsm 70/30 blend towels. I like these because they give me the option of a low pile or a high pile in the same towel.
