How can you tell when your microfiber towels are worn out?
I've started to have an issue and not sure why, could my towels be the problem, or could it be something else?
The car's in the garage: clean and cool to the touch, lightly dust her off with a California Duster to remove any surface dust. Next, I spray a fine mist of DS on the roof and go to wipe it with the towel and it smears pulling lint out of the towels glueing it to the finish. WW does the same thing. I've tried spraying the towels rather than the panel, and it's the same thing. Both my DS and WCW are only four months old and they do the same thing with the G companies towels that are slightly older than my Adams ones. I end up having to buff off the mess with a WCW towel. I hate putting that much pressure onto the finish unless I'm removing wax.
I wash my towels seperatly from any other laundry with a small amount of Woolite on the delicate cycle. Hang them to air dry then put them in the dryer on air fluff for 12 minute without any types of fabric softener. I do place 1/4 cup of distilled White vinegar in the rinse cycle, but add another rinse after that to remove any residule vinegar.
She has two coats of Americana on her, there are also two coats of another companies carnauba wax under the Americana that was applied prior to the Americana's purchase in late April. The other two coats were applied back in November after a complete paint correction: then she was covered for the winter. The smearing, sticky lint mess is happening on the Clear Bra too, it only has Adams Clear Polish on it with no other waxes. I've thought the Americana was melting, except it's not on the Clear Bra.
I'm throughly confused, wiping my car down shouldn't be this much an issue, any ideas?
