Re: Increase Your Grip Strength with Microfiber Gloves
Nice write up Mike. I do sometimes have that issue with the MF staying put when I'm wiping off a wax/sealant. I typically wear the Nitrile gloves, so those help as well.
Re: Increase Your Grip Strength with Microfiber Gloves
Mine flake/lint everywhere. I have washed them in a microfiber solution to break the "new" off them. It's so bad that its not even worth using on the interior. I have to come back through and vacuum up all the lint. So it really doesn't save me anytime.
Re: Increase Your Grip Strength with Microfiber Gloves
I always use these when removing sealant or wax (over a MF towel...I don't use the gloves as the removal tool). Mainly just to keep my handprints off the paint if I accidentally touch something. I did find out one thing yesterday though...it was very humid, so my hands inside the gloves were sweating a little bit. I put one of my hands on the hood while I was removing some Coll 845 with the other hand and noticed a hand print as I moved away. When it is very hot and/or humid, I think I will keep my nitrile gloves on underneath the MF gloves to block the moisture from wicking through the gloves.
I've had a couple customers now and I like to give them a glove to put on so they can feel the paint when they come to pick up their ride.

It's not that big of a deal really. But just wondered if I was the only one that had this problem
I've never seen linting with our gloves.
If you look through enough of the write-ups I post for all the show cars we polish out here you'll also see I often have up to a dozen other guys and gals wearing them with no problems.
This is why I replied and asked the question. I've just never seen linting with our gloves. Are you sure you got them from Autogeek.net?
Heck I even left a few pair with Wayne Carini and crew when I was working at Wayne's shop.
Re: Increase Your Grip Strength with Microfiber Gloves
Oh yeah, I deff got them from autogeek. Ill wash them a few times to see if it fixes the situation. I'm sure they are just "new". I haven't used all of the ones I got yet. Maybe it's just one or two of them

Yes, try washing them and then update this thread.
I have a lot of these in the studio and I never waste company products, I was always taught to be a good steward of your own stuff and your employer's stuff.
So I wash our MF Gloves and re-use them all the time and we have zero linting problems.
Re: Increase Your Grip Strength with Microfiber Gloves
I have some from autogeek and no linting problems, even when they were brand new. They are awesome for polishing stainless/aluminum on boats..on fishing boats there is a lot of metal pieces and these things make polishing them a breeze!

Yep.... lots of uses for microfiber gloves... we show them on our TV show all the time.
