My new glass cleaning towels!

Strange name, ain't it?
No more micro-fiber, no more specialized "glass towels", forget newspaper and plain old paper towels! I just got done using the best glass towel I've ever tried.....those rolls of blue Scott "Shop Towels" they sell in the automotive section at Wally World. I think they were $1.79 per roll and I got a few just to keep on hand in the garage for checking motor oil, etc etc. A short while ago I was outside and went to clean the windows on my car and just grabbed about 7-8 sheets of the roll and holy cow, am I happy I did. The windows had their usual layer of dirt and road grime and sap from the huge oak at the end of my driveway. Now, with these blue towels and my usual Meg's Detailer Line Glass Cleaner Concentrate, they are sparkling clean with much less effort than any mf or other towel I've used on glass.

They are much stronger than normal paper towels and leave zero lint on the glass. The texture is a tad rough which helps to remove crud and grime from the glass. No streaking, no lint and no falling apart like regular paper towels. I used one stash for cleaning with the solution and another stash for final wipe down/drying.

No I can dedicate that stack of mf rags I previously used for glass only to interior cleaning/dressing. Give them a try if you haven't already.
 
Rats! I saw them somewhere, and didn't get them. Guess I'll have to "stock up"!

Thanks for the tip Natty! :bigups
 
I used to use them a few years ago. Bought them at Sam's Club. Why I stopped buying/using them I don't know. The next time I go there I'll pick up a few rolls maybe even some cotton towels too.
 
Just went to Sam's and they had 8 rolls for 14 bucks. A little to much for me though. Any other uses? Good for the garage, but 8 rolls is alot!
 
I keep a roll on hand for checking the oil and other greasy grimey clean ups around the auto and garage. With results acheived from using MF products, I just can't see myself reverting to a use and toss product on a regular basis.
 
I've used them in the past and switched to MF. Of course it could have been because at the time I was using cheap RTU glass cleaner that was causing the streaking. I'll have to try them again with Stoner IG. I'm tinting the windows in my truck soon and I've noticed the MF does leave some lint behind, I guess I'll pick up a few rolls and try it out.
 
I've never been really impressed with most mf towels to do a good cleaning of glass, so I usually stick with bounty, or some thing along those lines. I find they do as good a job as any towels.
 
These towels are great for alot of things. I have noticed that they work great for glass. I keep 2 boxes around the shop. they seem to have a better absortion properties than the best of the regular kitchen paper towels.
 
Costco has the big pack of them. Don't remember the price. My pops used to work with Scott and we used those damn towels for everything. Mom hated them.
 
I bought some glass cleaning towels at Target that I like(white with a blue stripe) but I'll pick up some blue shop towels because you can "never have enough stuff". I'm paraphrasing here.
 
I still like the smaller gray ww mf towels for glass and most everything. Soon I;ll be using white mf's from Dwayne thanks to his specials on Sat!! My problem will be that I hate to use white towels. They look so good when clean and then look so dirty quickly. I have 3 of the DF towels and can't get myself to use them.
 
I've have two df's and I haven't used them either. I feel the same way as you.
 
Picked up some glass cleaning MFs from SMP. I will not go back to paper towels again. This thing is amazing. This MF has a different weave than regular MFs, real smooth/tight looking.
