I read something about microfiber cloth and decided to try them. Bought a bundle of them from amazon. started using them while sanding primer, WOW, they are fantastic. one swipe and they clean the surface as good or better than a vacuum cleaner, just unreal. when you think it won't hold anymore take it outside and give it some shakes and it is good to go again. They are a must when sanding body work and cleanup prior to painting. Dave

I got a bale of those from Costco, but never thought of using them that way. I have a couple on the boat as towels, but will have to try them for sanding. Thanks for the tip.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

Microfiber towels are great for so many things. They can be washed in the washing machine but do not put them in the dryer, the heat from the dryer will melt the ends of the fibers which will scratch paint after that - air dry only.

I have one on my end table nest to the easy chair just for cleaning my reading glasses. Nothing works better for that.
I use them for waterless detailing my high end paint job '49. Don't see how I could do it any other way without a bunch of hassle.
