Hi,
I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem and what's the best solution to it.

I have some decal designs that have pointy edges. I try to round it off just a little bit so it's not a completely sharp edge to prevent it from lifting. But when I wipe the car with a microfiber cloth, some fibers from the cloth will get stuck on these sharper edges. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a certain cloth I should be using instead? Or should I try to round the corners off even more? Thank you.

Round corners are always good....less chance of lifting.

What brand vinyl?
New roll or old stock?

What are you wiping away with the cloth after the install?
Once we remove the transfer tape that area is done and we dont find we need to wipe down anything.
We wipe the vehicle down before the install, but not after.

Could possibly be how your installing/squeegeeing the vinyl.

Hi,
I use Oracal 751. Not old stock.
I'm wiping it just to test out what a normal customer might do or a carwash place when they dry your car. Trying to catch any issues before customers get it.
