AAwipes 12" x 12" Wipes Nonwoven Wipe are perfect for my metal parts cleaning. These wipes absorb solvents and lubes. Best of all they don't leave any lint strings or wads of fiber behind. These wipes are a bit thin, but still absorbent and does not tear even with aggressive scrubbing. I also use this to wipe down my bike frame after a quick rinse to wipe of any road dust and dirt to leave a clean streak free clean.
