    Use GOOD towels
    Formerly the "Best Detailer", now just Super Wax Waster Man. Not necessarily tactful, but normally right. It`s good to be da King !!!

    Re: Towel linting

    I use good towels. Rag Company, Detailers Domain etc and I`ve been fighting lint for years. I use MF Restore and wash them by themselves.

    I wish I knew what the problem was. At this point I`m thinking it has to be my washer/dryer.

    The only MF`s I have that don`t lint are Griots PFM.

    Re: Towel linting

    So, big fluffy plush towels lint. I don`t care who makes them. They are more likely to lint doing certain tasks - like buffing off an oily wax.

    The trick is to use the right towel for the right task. Use lower nap high quality towels to do buffing tasks on dark cars...

    Quite frankly, the 530/600 gsm Cobras are quite good for this..

    Re: Towel linting

    As per my post to the other recent MF Lint thread, IME every MF towel eventually lints, even the WW and no-nap ones. Once a MF starts to shed those little MF fibers, you`ll get lint...and they all do sooner or later.

    That said, some (usually pricey ones) are a *LOT* better than others.
