Issues with rags/detail spray

[mjshaw130]

Hey guys,

So the past few months I’ve noticed that whenever I spray detail spray on my bike or truck and I use a microfiber to rub it off, lint sticks to either like glue. The only way to then get it off is use waterless wash or rewash. I have washed them numerous times, and I have also tried using brand new ones out of a bag, and same thing. Wtf is going on!?

Could be several things. How do you wash your towels? When is the last time you clayed/deconed the paint? New towels can/will lint, so I've found it best to wash them at least once before first use.

Washing machine with laundry detergent, NO softener, and dry on low to almost no heat in the dryer with a lint sheet to remove the lint. And that is all after letting everything sit in a bucket in the strong Adam’s microfiber revitalizer.

Could the problem be using the lint sheet? I was under the impression they are to be dried on low heat with no drying/lint sheets

What sort of laundry detergent? Do you use MRB in the wash, too? It can be used by itself. And as @joelilton23 said, it may also be the lint sheet.

 

When is the last time you clayed/deconed?

I was told no lint sheets. 

I hang dry my towels.

I use lint sheets to get the lint out haha, I feel like it would only help. Could be wrong I guess. Next time I wash My bike think I’m going to strip wash it then start all over.

Definitely no lint sheets in the dryer, they will clog the fibers like fabric softener. Just dry them on low/delicate with nothing else except other MF towels. I hope you are also washing them separate from other types of towels and clothing. Those towels may have been compromised. Best to get a few new towels and wash and dry them properly first and see if you get the same results. The MRB is really a great product if you are washing MF towels regularly and well worth the investment in a gallon.
