Costco Microfiber
This MF leaves a lot of tiny fibers behind after a wipedown. Really annoying
 Do the higher priced MF perform similarly?

No, the ones I got from Detailers Domain don't leave lint. One question, did you wash them before use? That's a necessity to good MF performance. Also, make sure you (or the wife in my case  ) don't use fabric softner in the dryer with them.

Thanks for the reply Jack..
I do wash them before use and don't use fabric softener. Guess I will be ordering some MF from DI/AG/DD soon.. Looks like both DI and DD have deals on their popular MF's right now. Anyone have experience with these? http://www.detailedimage.com/DI-Micr...05/16-x-16-S1/ http://www.detailersdomain.com/index...ROD&ProdID=144 Lesson learned - don't buy Costco MF

i'm not sure which ones you are talking about in Costco, but if it's those big pack yellow ones, they have worked better than any of the ones I've tried from the e-tailers.
absolutely no fibers/streaks, etc, left.... and works like a champ.

Not sure if you us rain-x...but if you do, next time use one of them yellow towels to take off...then go for a drive in the sun or at night in a lighted area. You'll see them fibers stuck to the window.

I don't have a problem with the big pack Costco yellow MF's.
 But I also drive a white car so seeing any remnants of fibers is not noticeable to me.

The ones I bought are yellow, I think it was a 36 pack for like $18 or something. The fibers are tough to see unless you've got halogens pointed at the area or sunlight. They are there though
