No Lint with these!!

I actually have one of those. My friends mom gave it to me a while back and she said to use it on the windows. I had no idea where she got them from and I had no clue that they were that expensive.

Exactly correct. That is what I am experiencing.

Conservatively, I have at least $150.00 worth of towels. MF, edgeless, waffle weave, Macy's high $$ cotton, some odd silk blend I found on ebay.



At the end of all of these, I still find newspaper to do the absolute best job. It's one thing my father taught me about washing cars that works.



For all doubters, try b/w newspaper and a touch of invisible glass. I am still amazed every time.

Thats not bad for the outside but for the interior tinted windows the news paper would scratch would it not? Im going to try the boiling of a few MFs tomorrow and see what happens. I have over $500 in MFs so I could not imagine boiling them all lol.

As for towels the best I've found are the surgical huck towels. I get mine from the raglady 37.50 per 50. Once washed they might leave a tiny bit of lint but nothing that concerns me. Certainly not like my mf were leaving. I found when they are brand new they didn't leave any lint that I recal. For the price you could dispose of them or hand washing, line drying would probably keep them tip top.

Perhaps! Where else do you think they'd put them besides the the aisle with all the hooks and kitchen towels? This gives me hope . I actually didn't even see an empty hook where it may have run out of stock last time I went. Bah.

I just got back from 2 local Walmarts. They still have plenty of the Mainstays waffle weave microfiber towel, along with the Mainstays glass towels. They were probably just out of stock when you were there. Plus, I believe when something is clearanced at Walmart it has a red price sticker in place of the usual price sticker.

Kind of like Spock on star trek. If you eleminate all other variables then the answer left before you no matter how illogical has to be the right one.

Spock totally stole it from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes (but he attributed it to an ancestor . . . even the Vulcans are plagiarists)



“How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?�

The Sign of the Four (1890)





“It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.�

The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1892)





“We must fall back upon the old axiom that when all other contingencies fail, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.�

The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans, His Last Bow (1917)





“When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.�

The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes (1927)



The game is afoot!

If you've tried every sort of MF towel you can then it's your product. MF by all rights should not leave behind any kind of fuzz or lint what so ever. While I've never seen it happen I would have to think since you've obviously switched out your towels enough that your product is somehow breaking down your towel or something..

In my case, I've used a lot of MFs with a lot of window/glass/lens cleaners. Most MF leaves lint, even if it is nearly-microscopic. Most *plush* MF does it all the time, most non-plush MFs take a while but do it eventually. Glad you're not experiencing it, but having used countless MF towels over the years and numerous products, this is something that I attribute to the very nature of MicroFiber itself. Most textiles lose fibers, nothing really weird about it IMO but it sure is bothersome when those fibers are on your interior glass.

Accumulator - that is true. Most towels do seem to "break down" a bit and start liniting a bit over time. Are some of those glass towels you refer to the "other" type of glass MF? As in, the ones that seem totally "smooth" and almost shiny? Do you know what I'm referring to? Almost like a thick sort of slik-ish material.

Yeah, I have a scad of those that I use around the house. They don't leave lint unless they get cross-contaminated from washing with other MFs, but I don't like them for automotive glass..just a personal preference that I find hard to verbalize. They sure do last forever though!

As for towels the best I've found are the surgical huck towels. I get mine from the raglady 37.50 per 50...

Hmmm...given my utterly different experiences with huck towels, I wonder if it's just a YMMV thing or whether there are radically different types of "surgical huck towels" :think:

Has not scratched yet. Newspaper becomes very soft when moist.

That sounded dirty.



Anywho, where might one buy these surgical towels? Any recommendations? Off to google.

If SpoiledMan decides he doesn't want ones I have put aside for him I will be selling some of mine. I have at least 10lbs (some 60-70 towels) of them too many.
