Quick question about microfiber cloths
1 Attachment(s)
Ive been using the multi colored walmart 5 or 10 pack microfiber cloths and I think they are very low in quality. Meaning they have too much polyester. If I press a little firmly on the paint it micro mars the clearcoat. I wouldnt mind replacing my whole collection with Cobra but lack of stock and price is an off putter.
What sort of specs should i be looking for when buying microfibre cloths? I used to use the meguires ones on my previous cars, they were okay. These are the ones I am talking about. Garbage me thinks.. |
Just about anything from here: The Rag Company Home Page
Or from Adams if you support forum sponsors. |
I think I remember Junkman2008 covering MF cloths in one of his videos.

Yes, those are garbage, Limey. For someone as anal about your vehicle as you are, I would have expected you be much more knowledgeable about detailing :p Check out the link SouthArk provided for Junkman's videos.
AFAIK Junkman only recommends the Eagle Edgeless (blue or orange) towels you can find at The Rag Company website. If you want to know whether a towel will mar your clear coat, drag it over your open palm. If it catches on your skin at all, don't use it on your paint. Junkman does not recommend using towels for drying. |

Its old age fella, I am slacking :rolleyes: I use waffle weave to dry however. Thanks for the micro fibre towel test tip. I tried one of those plush blue Costco micro fiber towels, they left so much damn lint on the car. Hopefully the Eagle ones are not like that.? |
Here ya' go fella, watch and become informed. ;)

Thank Junkman. It's his tip. It's probably in that video he linked lol :tup: Yeah lint is an immediate indicator that those are not quality towels. When you finally get a hold of some nice towels, you will undoubtedly notice their quality compared to your old towels. The Eagle towels will never leave any lint behind. |
Even the eagle towels leave lint. Wash the towel before use.

+1 on the Eagle Edgeless. Great towels at a great price. I have had no issues with lint on mine. I see some lint when washing and drying the towels in the laundry but it is very minimal. Make sure you follow the Junkman's video tips on caring for your towels too. If you don't take care of nice towels they will turn into crap towels and scratch your paint all the same as the cheapo ones.

Funny thing is those el cheapo Walmart ones I posted image of earlier dont leave any lint behind, but the plush blue Costco ones do, and they have been washed many times. After trying those a couple of times I placed them in the misc cleaning section, meaning I use it for other areas not the bodywork.
I will definately try the Eagle edgeless ones. Maybe 3 of each color mentioned earlier. |
