i have an assortment of MFs from here that i've had since 2008. i have all kinds but the ones that i'm concerned about are the ultra soft supreme ones, maybe they were called 530s or something? i have about 20 of those. and then i have some shorter pile ones, same thing, about 20. the rest are various other drying and glass towels that are fine.
well, all of them lint when wiping and always have. ESPECIALLY if wiping something where it's somewhat dry, like lighting buffing off previously wiped opti-clean or instant detailer, or following opti-coat. i wash them separately from not only anything else but from each other. meaning, i don't mix types. i'll do 20 at a time but of the same type. i have always used MF Restore with heavy soaking time and two rinses and on rare occasion, if there is a heavy stain that soaking won't remove, i'll use Shout then wash.
a while back, before i got these, i had another cobra towel collection that was composed of towels called indigo something and they all linted horribly. i tried every trick in the book, including boiling them and nothing worked. so AG replaced them and the next batch linted too, hehe. i haven't used them since, but all the rest lint too so i never got ahead.
are there any MFs out there that don't lint when you wipe, especially if it's somewhat dry? it's crazy - these things will leave these silvery refracting slivers all over whatever it is that i wipe and it's annoying. the worst is the ultra plush side of the supreme 530s - so annoying.
