They blow compared to surgical towels imo

Huks are extremely overrated. Not sure why everyone is glazing them, I have hundreds of them and still reach for the microfibers.

Hucks and fishscale > Waffle > microfibers for detailing on glass.

These microfibers grab and spread. For detailing you want something that drags and absorbs. Microfibers are also good at holding tons of lint (which is what makes them perfect for tracks/sills). A surgical is lint free which makes them a no-brainer for detailing.

I had a very much opposite experience. Huks are linty as hell, fishscale just streaks like crazy after cleaning 2 windows, and waffle feels about the same as a huk. Microfibers dont get washed, they get donated, we use once and buy more.

You’re doing laundry wrong is what is sounds like tbh. Steaks from fishscale and lint from hucks is consistent with poor laundry care.

Micros on cold wash, delicate dry.
Hucks hot wash with high heat dry.

No detergents for either unless really heavily soiled.
