    What happens when you wash Microfiber towels with new bath towels

    This is a great lesson in not letting anyone else wash your towels... especially when you get new towels.

    I did not notice till I had dried most of the car, but as I came back around I notices a bit of lint.



    Then I saw this....



    Since when does it snow in Florida in April?



    This is not easy to remove to, especially when it drys!



    Note to self: Hide Microfiber Towels and hide them well!

    I just told my wife the other night that I would take care of my detailing towels, for this reason right here. Sorry to see that!

    Learned that lesson before I used the MFs on the car, I'm surprised with that much lint you didn't spot it.

    Have fun cleaning the MFs. I ended up using a sticky lint roller and picking pills off by hand, a failry time-consuming bit of fun. And I'd washed a LOT of towels that day. Good chore for in front of the TV while you have half an eye on something else.

    I spray down the car with DP QD when I dry so it did not pop up till it got dry as I passed on to lint up the next panel! I still have lint in cracks and nooks on the car, its like going to the beach and finding sand in your ears a day later!

    What did you look like when you dried yourself off. If that much was on the microfiber. There must be a ton on the regular towels. Did you get super shag bath towels?

    Lint for sure, still picking the fibers out of the cracks and crevices on the car.
