    Re: Found a MF towel that doesn't lint!!!

    interesting....Im my experience No microfiber cloths really lint when they are new. I too have used that same mothers kit and the cloth is great. after a bunch of washes it lints with the rest of them. Im thinking its the wash and dry process....from now on im only washing with my DP pad rejuvinator, rinsing well and dry on low heat or no heat at all. It ticks me off when i go to clean the windows and I see a ton of lint.

    ps targets microfiber is great so far...

    Re: Found a MF towel that doesn't lint!!!

    I must be one lucky MF owner because none of my Cobras lint. I have a dozen of the infamous Shamrocks and 4 600's. I like the indigos and Artics for polish & wax removal. I really like the waffle HDs that are BOGO now and the 530's are good. The only Cobras I regret buying are the blue waffle with red trim. It does not dry well at all
    IME. BTW for those with linting Shamrocks, I recommend using them for ONR washes and something else for drying. Non linting Shamrocks are as good as it gets for QD work IMO.

    I have 2 Meg's Supreme Shine MF towels and 2 Ultimate Wipe (edgeless) MF towels that I haven't used yet. Anyone have experience with these?

    Those are great towels. I have 3 Ultimate Wipes and about a dozen or so Supreme Shines. I use both for quick detailing and wax removal. No complaints from me about these towels. I love 'em!

    I plan to order a couple cases of each if the weather would break and I could be home long enough to use them! Thanks for the feedback!

    I hate to hop on the bandwagon but my 530's lint as well. I am experimenting with various brands but many people highly rate Pakshak so I might give them a go.

    It is a shame about the 530's and Shamrocks linting because they feel so nice that it is almost heartbreaking not being able to use them.

    You're right. I called Mothers and a chemist told me the clay kit towel is a bit different from the Quick detail towel. He said if I like the clay kit towel, I will love the quick detail towel. I think the QD towel is 70/30 and has a satin border unlike the clay kit towel. I ordered 2 Mothers QD towels.

    Do the CD test. no scratches? Have at it. Rub the towel over a new clean CD. Turn on a bright light and pull out a magnifying glass, photo loop etc...see ANY scratches? If so, no touchy on the painty.

    80/20 towels are typically not up to the standard as a 70/30 or even 75/25. Korean towels better than China towels.
