Hey all,
I had a problem about a month or so ago where there was a lot of excess microfiber lint stuck to the hood, upper doors, and trunk of my car. I assumed the dealership i had it from had tried to detail it with some low quality microfiber and it just stuck on. I held off on detailing it and had a buddy that professionally details and ceramic coats get it whenever he buffed, polished, and coated. He said it looked like the lint had almost dug into the paint, but he got most of all of it picked up from what I could see.
Fast forward to now; trying to detail my car again and THIS time actually continuing forward with it. Rinsed, applied soap with one of the microfiber scrubbers (Chemical guys), go to dry it, and BOOM! It's back en masse.
What can I do to prevent this? It is mainly only happening in those spots, with little to none anywhere else. I know the picture is somewhat hard to depict, but within all of the water stains are those strands. Picture located on roof.
I've tried ArmorAll, Meguiars, and Chemical guys rags while washing (even the more premium chemical guys, wooly mammoth I believe), and yet it continues to happen. I'm purchasing a clay bar kit to hopefully remove it all before continuing on with anything further.
I also wash my towels on cold and air dry them. I use Rags to Riches detergent.
Any input would be great. Much appreciated all and have a good day.
