On the towels with labels, it's actually possible to remove the part of the label under the serged edge after ripping the rest of the label off by using a pair of tweezers. Takes a bit of time and patience but it does get the job done.

Those Costco/kirkland ones are great. When they're brand new-- work great for wiping off waxes/sealants/polishes. Get crunchy quick but so cheap I don't mind turning them into interior/wheel/jambs/grill towels.

Most informative video. I had no idea that there was so much to know about micro-fiber. I just bought a pack from Costco. I found them to feel like they were treated or had some type of coating. They have been washed and still feel the same. I have other brands and none of them feel similar.

I've found if you rip the Kirkland tag forcefully and fast, it'll come out pretty clean without tag remnants in surged edge.
@10CPS Жыл бұрын
Correct, I'll give you another tip. If you use tweezers, you're able to completely remove the rest as well with no damage. Just a little time consuming, but with practice you'll spend maybe 10 extra seconds with this step, for a no risk towel. Worth it for me If you're confused how, you look for the end of the tag that has more "hanging out". Then you carefully pull those seams apart without ripping, and yank the tag in a straight line in the direction you're removing it. Just make sure no microfiber threads are also in your tweezers before you pull

I used to buy the 80/20 bundles from Sam's Club. After learning about the percentages, GSM, sizes, etc., through videos like this, I have no use for junk (87/13%) microfiber like those shown. Now, I only use 70/30 for paint and glossy interior trim and 80/20 for everything else. In fact, I only use 70/30 towels for my contact wash, one per panel, after using a foam cannon and pressure washer. Then, 70/30, 650 GSM for drying. The fact is, I would not have been able to develop my system without gaining knowledge from people like Josh V., Obsessed Garage, Forensic Detailing, Apex Detail, and Cars With Keav.

Thanks! I might try the 14" Coral Fleece you show. My products are expense and a smaller towel would be better for some uses. Sometimes I leave a new towel for a client for spills, folded with my card on top; they love it. They have to be square; just my preference. I fold my 16" towels (saying "microfiber" every single time is not necessary) in quarters, label the corners with a Sharpie by number, so I'll know if I've used that side. Then I place them folded by which color I use, how many of that color I'll need and the next, so the towel I need is always (mostly) on top. My setup is designed for square towels in a specific place. I don't think I could get used to rectangle unless there were something incredible about the towel.
