Default Detailing and polishing cloths

Any suggestions for detailing and polishing cloths. My Adams cloths leave a lot of lint on my Carbon Flash 2012 Centennial

Did you wash them before using them for the firsttime? If so; did you wash them with only MF's in the wash?
I noticed a long time ago that real fluffy MF's will leave lint when new sometimes if not washed first.

There are many different MF towels, some are thicker and some have a tighter knit. Linting is often a towel shedding and can come from the way they are cut, the washing process, and perhaps as they breakdown.

We offer the Cobra line :

I've used a couple different microfiber brands and had linting issues - one of those brands is Adams.

What I learned is that my washing process was causing the microfiber to pick up lint. My cloths were picking up lint that was in the dryer from prior loads. Cleaning the dryer made a difference. But at this point I don't usually use the dryer anymore but just air dry on a drying rack overnight.

I no longer have linting problems after doing this.

Be sure to contact Adam's customer service. They have the BEST customer service and will work to make sure you are totally happy with your purchase.

The Cobra line from Autogeek is what I use and they do a great job, no lint or other concerns.
