I bought some Magic Towels from CMA in Oct 2001. I think they're great for DQing but I'm puzzled by those who use the towel to dry their car after washing. It doesn't work for me. All I get is lint, lint, lint. Only after the surface is completely dry can I use the towel for buffing and if any water emerges from a crevice it's lint time all over again. Is it possible I got a bad batch?

Magic towel + water = lint. Normal?

That has been my complaint with the Magic Towels and the Viper Towels (blue and green), thay all lint bad and yes, I washed them many times. Some are from the summer of 2001, the latest Viper's are 2 weeks old. The ONLY non linting MF's I have found are neatitems and yosteve's- 'nuff said.:up

Yup, I've got about 40 lint-happy MFs on my hands. It sucks bit-time.
