Griot`s PFM Deals

Now a twist. I just realized the two I used were “virgins”, out of the package never washed when I washed the windows. They were “group” washed AFTER I was done with that car. They have not been used since their first washing. So these linted first use out of the package.
It should not matter if they are not supposed to lint, that they were not washed before hand???
I hate windows!

IMO that first wash might indeed be critical. Textile plants are generally not the neatest places and I can easily imagine lint being on an otherwise OK MF when it first comes out of the package. Shouldn`t be that way, but, well...

Today`s cleaning was not as linty using the washed towels. I went over again with a diaper to remove the balance. I hate windows!

Well, the Pittsburgh-area Pep Boys are about to get bought out like toilet paper tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.

Did those go fast or is it a b&m store only deal?

lloyddrm and acuRAS82- heh heh, OK...thanks. I don`t really pay attention to the likes/thanks, but I do appreciate that "make it right" sentiment! Had I noticed a dislike I`ll admit I probably would`ve wondered...

But see, I just now (Friday) noticed!

John U- Ah, that diminished linting might mean you`re now on the right track.

When MF Lint is unbearable, remember the GG Polypropylene Window Wipes Zero linting and they can be reused if you go about it right. Pricey though, and I gather some here don`t like them (though I can`t imagine why).

I don’t like them because they didn’t help remove streaking for me. I have a box of them sitting in my garage

Ah, I appreciate that feedback! Interesting about the streaking, which I gather is *NOT* an issue with your other Glass Towels. That`s exactly what I use them *for*, a final pass on glass I`ve already done with my PFMs for Glass. Yet another YMMV...

 

[Bill D]

I want to get PFMs for glass. I can use all the help I can when it comes to glass.

I certainly *NEVER* expected to like those as much as I do...would`ve bet $ on it if I were a gambler. Another of those knee-jerk things I`m glad I revisited

PFM’s followed by a zep for the no streak win!

Do you know if these are the new 1120 GSM or the older 860 GSM?

 

[Oneheadlite]

None of the sites listing that part number actually show the GSM, gut feel tells me it`s the older 860 like the 10 packs. Wonder if it`s listed on the wrapper in store.

They are the older ones

Just as an update I ended up buying three 16x16 PFM towels part number 55594 from pep boys for $4.47 a towel! I called griots and they are the higher 1120 GSM towels....killer deal! Even the mckees glacier is 9.99 a towel and then you still have to pay shipping.
