Honestly, I stopped using tack cloths years ago. They can leave a sticky film that messes with adhesion on bare metal or fresh primer. I had a hood once where the edges of my primer coat fisheyed like crazy, traced it right back to tack cloth residue. Now I use a dedicated microfiber and filtered compressed air for final wipe. For me, that extra step of blowing out crevices before the wipe gets more dust than a cloth just dragging stuff around.

Ever notice how people get weirdly deep about their coffee orders too? Saw a guy nearly have a full meltdown because the cafe ran out of oat milk. Like, it's a Tuesday morning, my guy, just drink the regular milk. Then he started going off about sourcing and ethical farming. Makes you wonder if we're all just looking for tiny hills to die on.

Not mentioning it is the win? What if others bring it up, @claire_ramirez22?
