Anyone ever use these towels?

NYJets12 · 03-03-2020, 05:49 PM

Did anybody ever use Adam's Double Soft Microfiber Towels 920 gsm.
I’m looking for some good towels for rinseless washes . The rag company ones got to much lint. Looking for some thick ones to get the dirt off.
Unless someone got another brand.
Thanks

I would try and look for something around 500-600 GSM… When you do a rinseless, you need a little bit of scrubbing capability, not plushness…

I have literally 500+ towels from theragcompany and I have never had a lint problem. Is the lint being left by your drying towels? Or the rinseless towels?

The only time I've had a lint problem was from some off brand glass towels.

Also, check your underneath your dryer lint trap and around the door seal for lint. The dynamics inside the dryer makes lint spin up from all over. I vacuum out the area below my lint trap screen regularly.

I'm curious if this gsm is rated by adding both towels that are stitched together. They are marketing geniuses after all.

Regardless, my experience with TRC is totally the opposite than the OP. I have many 500gsm's from them and not one lint. They're perfect for rinseless, wax removal, etc. However, I have Korean knock offs in different flavors, but they all lint so I separated them and now they're dedicated for light duty.

If they are linting, I'm curious if your wash process may have something to do with that. I don't think this particular Adam's towel is ideal. Check Autofiber if you're worried about finding an alternative towel.

I set up detail stands in the parking lots of hotels at car festivals, so I need hundreds of drying towels. I buy them wholesale by the case from TRC. I also give away a free detail kit to all my new customers so I need hundreds of Spectrum 420s to give away.

Actually I never used them. I seen reviews on amazon and a couple people here have said they have lint problems. I use 500 gsm micro madness from car pro now for taking off reload and essence before I got a DA polisher. But I see light swirl marks on my car the only thing I can thing it’s from is the towels or from brushing snow off the car in the winter.
My sponge and drying towel are microfiber there softer than the 500 gsm towel. And since I don’t use my snow brush in a circle my guess is the 500gsm towels.

May have found one after searching awhile 600 gsm The Shine & Buff Waterless Wash Towel Says it’s good for rinseless also.. just searching for reviews if it lints didn’t find anything yet.

+1 for Eagle Edgeless 500 gsm from TheRagCompany. Never had a lint issue. But I usually launder them before I use them the 1st time so YMMV.

If anyone's thinking of another group by on TRC's case-deals, I'm interested. . .
