Another DI Microfiber<\/a> product that I fell in love with recently!\u00a0 As with all my reviews, here’s the description from the site:<\/p>\n

“The Glass Microfiber Towel is designed specifically to be a lint free and streak free way to clean your glass. Its tight weave clings to glass making it very difficult for streaks and contaminates to be left behind. The tight bond it forms with the glass helps the force exerted from your hand be more evenly distributed throughout the glass cleaning process. Use one side of the towel to apply a glass cleaner and then buff away any residue with a dry part of the towel. This towel can be washed (no fabric softener) and re-used over and over again. If you are used to paper towels, newspapers, rags or other tools to clean glass you will be thoroughly impressed with this microfiber glass towel.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The DI Microfiber Glass Polishing Towel<\/a> is one of those items that first seems like it’s just another product sold by a manufacturer and nothing more.\u00a0 I’ve been detailing on a regular basis for over 5 years now and managed to do quality work earning me a great reputation, without ever using a “glass towel”.\u00a0 So this should just be another towel to me, right?\u00a0 Wrong!<\/p>\n

Sometime last fall, I started having issues with my normal microfiber towels leaving some lint when cleaning dirty glass, which, as you can easily imagine, got quite annoying.\u00a0 I noticed the new glass towel on the Detailed Image website, so I just decided to give it a shot.\u00a0 I was hoping for a little improvement to my current towels in the above mentioned conditions, so I simply expected the new towel to leave no lint and do pretty good work at cleaning dirty windows.\u00a0 Needless to say, I got exactly what I expected and then some.<\/p>\n

This towel is exactly what I have always wanted for glass cleaning.\u00a0 It’s a very nice size that can be folded so it doesn’t flop around like larger towels.\u00a0 It’s also extremely thin due to the tiny fibers, which work wonders by the way, so it’s easy to push into some indents and clean edges of any glass on the car.\u00a0 As mentioned, the thin fibers on this towel are amazing at cleaning glass and leaving a streak free finish.\u00a0 In fact, I’ll have to disagree with the above description, in that you can usually simply apply the cleaner to a section of the towel, wipe the glass to clean it, then just keep wiping to a streak free finish.\u00a0 No need to turn over to a dry side.\u00a0 On vehicles with mildly dirty windows and some polishing dust on the outside, I can usually clean all the glass with only one of these towels.<\/p>\n

If I had to nitpick, I would only say that it’s a bit awkward to hold when you first start using it.\u00a0 This is due to the size and shape of it so it’s nothing negative, just something I noticed.\u00a0 Plus I’m 6’2 and have fairly large hands, so it might just be me.\u00a0 Either way, after using it on a few detail jobs, I have no issues while holding it and working with it.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, the DI Microfiber Glass Polishing Towel<\/a> is another must have tool in my opinion.\u00a0 It works much better than any other towel I’ve tried and I don’t see myself going back or trying anything in the near future.\u00a0 If anyone is on the fence about giving it a shot, I would easily say go for it.\u00a0 Hell if I could I’d give one of those 30-day guarantees as I know anyone will like this towel after trying it.<\/p>\n

Thanks to all for reading and I encourage all to comment with their experience using this towel.<\/p>\n

Below are a few photos I took recently while using the towel to remove a smudge of who knows what on the windshield.<\/p>\n
