What is everybody's favorite microfiber wash? the two that i see being talked about most often are the CG microfiber wash and micro-restore. is one better than the other and is the $10 premium for micro-restore worth it? any input is appreciated
I have used both and I prefer micro-restore. Both of them will do a decent job though ... You might have to use something a little bit stronger when dealing with tough sealants like Blackfire Wet Diamond and 845. For tough jobs, I usually fill a 5 gallon bucket with boiling water and 2 oz of micro-restore & 0.5-1 oz of APC (ZEP citrus). Let the mfs soak for a few hours. I warn you that there are some MF's that start linting after a APC wash (uber no-names for example).
all i have ever used is micro-restore, so i cant comment on the CG one. some people use apc's and some use regular detergent and vinegar.
I have used both and CG microwash is pretty nice and works just as well I think. You cant go wrong with both of them but I get CG as its a bit cheaper.
Hold on, APC will make my MFs start linting? That frightens me a bit. What causes them to lint in the first place? Saw it a little bit on my CG Fluffers and I was riled up.
I had lint issues with my uber no-names after an APC wash. I'm not saying that all mfs lint after an APC treatment. I own a lot of different mfs and I haven't had issues with any of them except the ubers. Maybe I got a bad batch of no-names ... dunno.
My No-Names lint as well. I did wash them before using. I find that the thicker the nap is, the more likely the linting will be. Very annoying.
x1 ... I also find this very annoying, but these towels are awesome for ONR washes were lint issues don't really matter.
Ive used both. I prefer the Micro-Fiber restore. The micro-fibers feels cleaner. CG is cheaper, but if you clean old polish left on your MFs, some spots will still be there ...
I have used CG and DP mf washes and really could not tell any practical difference. I have started using the pre-soak cycle along with the second rinse option. IBoth seemed to work better than regular wash detergents (Woolite He) which some claim cannot clean mf... I have sprayed APC like a pre-wash spray on some chennile mitts to insure ONR comes out.
