Help Me Chose My next MF

[dschribs]

<span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">I’m looking to buy some new MF’s as the one’s I have now are linting horribly.` MF’s are always one thing I’ve had difficulty selecting. The choices just make my head spin.` So I’ll leave it to you guys to pick my next Microfiber.


`


<span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">If you guys could chose only ONE microfiber for polish/wax removal – which one would you chose??` In other words, what’s your “go to� Microfiber (Brand, type). If you have a link that would be great!!


`

At one time I wanted to have 1 MF that did everything. After looking at several detailers setups I noticed that it was much easier to have different colors and thicknesses for different jobs.` That way there was little chance of cross contamination.` That is one reason I never wash them together.


`


I don`t think this is what you were looking for but I hope this helps.

dschribs- I have a kinda`two-pronged answer for you, as I`m not sure I`d make the same decision(s) about MFs today...


`


I have generally subscribed to the "one MF" approach with regard to polishing and LSPing tasks (different for rinseless products`and drying and glass, and now I`m using something else for QDing too, but I didn`t for a long time).` OK, I sometimes use a suede-style MF for buffing off sealants, but usually I`ve just used the same MFs for everything.


`


For that "one MF" I`ve done just fine with PakShak`s Ultra Plush.` Zero issues, complete satisfaction.


`


That said, if I were buying today I think I`d look into the offerings from the Rag Company as I bet I`d be equally satisfied at a much lower cost.

Funny you should mention both PacShak and Rag Co in your post.` The best - and only - MF`s I bought were the Ultra plush from PacShak.` I`ve used them for awhile but those are the one`s that are now linting on me. For the life of me I can`t figure out why.


`


Looking into something new - the Rag Co is exactly where i was looking. These are on my radar as my next purchase

`


but just when I am ready to pull the trigger I find another one from a dofferent manufacturer`that looks good too.

dschribs- Ah, it`ll be interesting to see what you go with and how you like them.` Which other ones are you considering?


`


I haven`t had any linting issues with my PacShaks (yet?), but I don`t use them all that often either.

Unfortunately I have also had experience with linting Pakshak microfibers as well. This was years ago and I never got to use them because they were linting so bad. The last time I bought microfibers I bought from Microfiber Tech. I never had problems with theirs

`


Bill - Can you give me a link for the one`s you bought??`


`


Accumulator - I was looking at these but the "Made in China" thing sort of scares me off...

Thanks!

It was so long ago I don`t think they sell them anymore so no link

I have numerous Microfiber Madness towels, and while I think they are the best, they are also the most expensive. In my opinion, you can`t beat the quality that you get for the price at Rag Co. Their Eagle MF are top notch!

[silverfox]

Amen on the Rag Co edgeless eagles. MFM cost not justified in my opinion.

Just recently tried the Rag Company and was very impressed with these two towels:


`


If you want a very soft fluffy towel` http://www.theragcompany.com/16-x-16-DETAIL-MASTER-PRO-Eagle-Edgeless-Blue-41012-1616-B-EL.htm (`http://www.theragcompany.com/16-x-16-DETAIL-MASTER-PRO-Eagle-Edgeless-Blue-41012-1616-B-EL.htm`)` Really like these for the second wipe when drying and QD


`


For a shorter nap but still very soft towel` http://www.theragcompany.com/16-x-16-DETAIL-MASTER-PRO-Split-Purple-nality-Dual-Pile-42010-1616-P.htm (`http://www.theragcompany.com/16-x-16-DETAIL-MASTER-PRO-Split-Purple-nality-Dual-Pile-42010-1616-P.htm`)` These work great for polish/LSP removal using the longer nap side.


`


Had no linting with either towel.


`


To top it all off shipping is free.

D, I`ve bought a few products from The Rag Company.` They`ve all been outstanding and I`ve had a fair amount of time to evaluate them.


`


Scott mentioned a couple deep pile products he`s using.` I bought a few. They`re great.` In fact, probably my best purchase in all of 2014 :)

[dschribs]

Tom, which ones did you buy? Are they still listed on the Rag Co site?

dschribs- Noting that I recently posted that IMO one can overdo the "thick and heavy" aspect, I think I`d prefer the heavier ones from The Rag Company over those from Microfibertech, though the price `of the latter sure is reasonable.

[dschribs]

Yeah, I`m.going to pull the trigger on the Rag Co purple. Way too many MF choices out there!!!!! I always thought I`d be a Pac Shak customer for life pit the way my towels are now linting I`m having second thoughts. I do lilke the free [and quick] shipping from The Rag Co vs waiting for and paying shipping on MF`s from Hawaii.
