I've been using micro fiber towels to wipe down the bike, but Everytime they leave lint all over the chrome and it bugs the **** out of me.

 

Yellow micro fiber from Costco - works fine for me

 

I use micro fiber towels also but I've not noticed any problems with them leaving lint behind.

 

Huh... Never had that problem with micro fiber towels. Have you tried washing them in the washing machine and then drying them? Are they cheap ones?

 

Microfiber is lint free. The lint usually is the result of washing the microfiber towel with clothes or other types of towels.

The Microfiber ManifestoEverything you ever wanted to know about microfiber

 

They say not to dry microfiber cloth in the dryer. Makes them stiff. Let them air dry.

 

My Costco yellow MF towels go into the washer before I use them.

 

Don't use fabric softener or dryer sheets and wash them alone wouldn't hurt to set the machine to double rinse

 

when i seen the title of this thread i yelled at the wife and told her you guys had a question for her. just kidding , i use old sweat shirts and pants for waxing the autos and bike. has worked well for years. i was never very impressed with any micro fabric towels.

 

All my micro fibers and car washing towels go in a pile in the corner of the garage. Then the wife washes them. How she does it, I don't know. Maybe I just need to throw them all away and start over.
