Yes. Everything is better with lubrication. There are so many opportunities to screw up your paint with rinseless washing. So many people do it wrong and think that the rinseless wash product they are using is going to save them from their evil technique. I am going to put out a video on how I would do a rinseless wash. It is nothing like what you see everywhere else.

So do they feel anything like the ones you already have or have used in the past? What's your opinion?
Heck no! What i've used in the past were those costco ones and the ones my bro bought which all clung to my hand. These felt much better in my palms and when wiping it would clean up much better without leaving residue behind. The only problem I thought it would have is when they cut the fiber into 16x16 there were kind of rough edges along one side of the towel with what seemed to feel like dried glue but the other sides were edgeless with fibers. It's not a big problem though since it can be easily tucked away. Other than that i would really recommend the eagle edgeless. And the PRICE... lets not get back into that

I haven't noticed that laser cut edge thing on any of mine. Do all of yours have that? If so, you know that The Rag Company will make it right for you.

wow junkman you are very right about The Rag Company. They have amazing customer service and they responded instantly to my email.

"Hi Michael,
Our apologies for the 14" x 14" Blue Eagle Edgeless towel not meeting your or our standards as that is totally unacceptable and typically something we would catch before it goes out the door (we have a multi-step quality check process for every package that leaves our warehouse and is checked by a minimum of two people along the line). Obviously, at least one towel got through that shouldn't have. We have a fresh batch of four (4) 14" x 14" Blue Eagle Edgeless towels packed up and heading your way first thing tomorrow morning through USPS. Our mistake = your bonus. Enjoy the extra towels and please remember The Rag Company next time you need more high-quality microfiber products! We appreciate your business and work hard to prevent isolated incidents such as this and quickly fix them when they do occur. Let us know if you have any questions. Again, our apologies for the inconvenience. Best regards-"
