I bought some of those and they really suck. They leave tiny little microcrap on the glass. I now use them under my dogs and cats water bowls. They work ok for this.
I don't think I did anything to them that would account for this.

I had issues with theMF leaving small fibers on the windows. These do not do that.

I bought the exact same ones you linked from the rag-store. You got lucky.
I bought a few glass specific ones (dark blue waffle) that work great from the Rag-store after these sucked.

Actually, I looked and mine were from Groit's Garage. But I doubt they are really different. Maybe they are? The raffle one I got was a generic brand and worked well too. I will say you have to keep them moist. They don't work as well dry. I use Sparkle glass cleaner with these and don't get streaks or any fibers left behind.

Don't wash your MF with anything but MF or it will absorb all of the lint from everything else in the machine. Always wash alone, never use fabric softener. If either rule has been broken, discard towels and try again.

The fibers coming off these particular glass towels were from the towels themselves.

More good info for reference. I usually blow the car dry then wipe down with QD and MF to get it dryer/cleaned.

Does your blower have a filter? Or is it just leaf blower? Electric or gas??

Yes...it's a master blaster. It's actually a little bit of a pain to use but, for now it's all I have and I'm not a fan of drying a car with towels. I have on occasion but, always make sure to use QD during the wipe down. Truthfully they need to make something I could put on my back and walk around with and make it battery powered. Damn cord is always getting hooked on a wheel. Given the weather I'm normally trying to dry pretty quick since it's a tad warm out. I probably need to adjust and pull the vehicle in my garage after wash and then dry so the sun doesn't do it for me.

Thats what I do with my Master Blaster. After wash, pull in garage and dry with it....Theres always SOME water left over somewhere but quick detail wipe down after gets that. Master Blasters are great, but the cord does get tangled and the hose gets a wierd kink in it every now and again, and I find myself in some yoga move straightening it out....LOL

Good to see I'm not the only one with issues with the Master Blaster. I have a few other issues with it especially given the cost. Luckily I didn't have to pay for mine so, it makes it a little easier to deal with. I've been lucky at some other lesser expensive blowers that may be a little less cumbersome to deal with.

Has anyone used the Blaster Sidekick, Chemical Guys blow dryer, Metro Vacuum B3-CD Air Force Blaster, or anything else? I was thinking of trying one of these due to their smaller size and cheaper cost.

I will say I have a ceramic coating on my car. I rinse the car in a way that most of the water sheets off the car. So I really do not have a lot of water to dry off the car. But the blower seems like it would speed up drying as well as get water where it likes to collect and hide from the towels.
