Make sure you wet it, ring it out well, and wipe.....it should just be barely damp. If it is leaving streaks, it is too wet.

Let me know,

Jim

Man, come on....you have to be kidding me? It works on any surface...Did you dampen it and ring it out well before using it?

When you say "no good", what is it not doing?

Let me know....

Received mine last week. I took home my ZO6 with no dealer prep so I had gunk to the max on the inside from price sticker and dealer GM pricing sticker, etc. The cloth cleaned off the the stuff with ease leaving no streaks.
The cloth works great. Just make sure it is wrung out. I washed the cloth to get rid of the glue and reused it with no problems.

Guys, i was at harbor freight the other day and noticed they have these microfiber windshield cleaner cloths. They look a little different from the regular microfiber units..less fir. So if your having a hard time getting them and you have a harbor frieght near you, that might be an option. I think a 2 pack was 2 bucks......weather its the same quality as those offered i couldnt tell you.

These are NOT microfiber clothes and are not sold at any retail outlets. Checkout the linp on Mirafiber clothes to understand the difference.

See ya,

Guys....just a quick update...We go really backordered on the Cloth's...We are caught up now, but some orders were about 2 weeks late. I do apologize and am certain we can keep up now.

Sorry about the delay shipping some orders out...

Thanks,

Jim Vose

Hey Jim,
They seem to work pretty well.
However, what is the BEST method to clean them?
I used warm water and dish-washing detergent, let them soak for an hour or so, I still have black marks where I must have scuffed the weatherstripping.
Thanks,
Tommy
