linting microfiber

[Blinky]

I've been having some issues with plush microfiber cloths linting all over the finish of my car lately. Also, some marring occurs as well from said cloths. I usually soak them overnight in a solution of Microrestore after washing and waxing the car. I then launder as normal (HE frontloader) and dry on delicate cycle. Is it time to get some new microfiber or am I doing something wrong?



Thanks in advance.

Here's a recent thread on the exact same topic ( http://www.autopia.org/forum/car-detailing-product-discussion/121705-microfiber-linting-problem.html ).



Search this and the "Product Discussion" sub-forums, most issues can be found in 1 of those 2 places (the Professional" sub-forum is a good place to lurk as well).



Hope this helps.

Doh! That's exactly the info. I was looking for. Thank you.

You need to use a good MF wash, make sure not to use anything like fabric softener, wash only with other MF and don't dry in a dryer that has ever seen dryer sheets. Make sure the lint filter is absolutely clean - Microfibers will pull the lint into the dryer.
