depends what you want it for, but for absolutely lint free try the microsuede finishing cloth. for glass, the SN waffle weave is excellent. towels and buffing cloth wise, most will lint a bit until they've been washed a few times.

Tbh, that doesn't sound like a linting problem. They say to use a lint free cloth to avoid leaving lint stuck to the finish, if it's leaving marks then I'd say that's an application issue. As its not a product I've used maybe someone else on here can shed some light?

Fantastic Plastic will only smear if it is not levelled/buffed or if the plastic has some UV damage etc. It is normally very good and shouldn't smear, but it IS a sealant so does leave a protective residue behind that could be seen in some cases unless the film is buffed down to a flat finish. Supernatural Microsuede buffing cloths are the lint free cloths in our range and recommended for application. But it could be the plastic surface you're applying it to that's causing issues. Apply thin coats and buff thoroughly.

TBH it will either be UV damage or possibly product interference if you used silicone heavy dressings on it before. Clean it with a detergent or solvent, then reapply Fantastic Plastic. If it smears then it is likely to be sun damage. SN Tyre Dressing may be a possible alternative, or even Tyromania, but it's a case of trial and error unfortunately...

Ok Dom thanks for the info will have another go at it, not sure if silicone has been used before as its not my car i just cleaned it for them

So applying it using a microfibre is fine?

Yup, microfibre is fine assuming it doesn't leave fibres behind or snag, due to texture.
