Why you should remove your tags from Microfiber Towels

[Detailed Image]

Hey gang, I did a writeup recently on the importance of removing your tags when using microfiber towels on your paint. It utilizes the CD test which simulates what it would look like if used on your clear coat.



The left side of the red line shows when you only touch the microfiber part of the towel on the CD, the right side is when you use the same pressure but with the tag of the microfiber.

Read the complete writeup here to find out how to minimize adding these scratches to your clear coat, which takes away from the overall finish of your vehicle.

Are you serious? Don't planes have so much crap they fly through that it is virtually impossible to keep scratches from appearing?
