Looking for opinions on some new MF's

I received some Gold Plush XL towels but forgot to remove the tags before washing, I usually just rip them off when I'm folding them. I didn't know these were glued on!

it's actually a sticker and you just peel it off...

I'm not sure what happened but after the wash the stickers were gone and there is small amounts of sticky residue left behind. I was able to remove most of it with a toothpick but some of it is really deep.
 
Try an ice cube. I don't know if it would work on your glue but it works on gum. It might help harden it so you could brush it off.

try using some tweezers and see if you can remove anymore of it. also, try running that particular area under hot water with some detergent (or apc) and rub it in well (may have to do it a few times)and then thoroughly rinse it out and see if it helps soften/remove it. otherwise, you may have to shave/level that area off...

A couple drops of goo gone? Obviously, launder afterwards (pre-clean with drop of dish soap). If that doesn't work--> scissors.
 
Thanks for the tips, the ice cube helped a little bit. I sprayed some APC on them, let them sit and then washed. Most of it came off and what was left was soft and easier to work out.

With a toothpick and a lot of patience I think I salvaged them. Lesson learned!

Thanks!
 
I highly recommend Costco MF towels. You don't want to waste a $5 or higher towel on dirty interiors, engines, and wheels. I also use them on the paint no problem. The expensive towels are better but I got a pack of green Costco ones for interiors, wheels, engines and anything but paint and blue ones for filthy glass. I finish the linted up glass with a waffle weave. I got giant supreme 530s for drying the car and I remove wax with megs or super plush Mf towels. Costco MFs are the backbone of the operation, I have a few hundred of those and I wouldn't make any money if they were all super plush towels.

I personally only use the good stuff and tend to stay away for the department/auto/club store bulk packages as they are not the best quality, but then I am only working with my personal vehicles mostly maintaining as opposed to having to "clean". I do understand the need for use of the cheaper MF in a shop where the vehicles being detailed are not in the best shape when they arrive and using a expensive MF towel effects your margin.
