FAQ
Buy a specific microfibre towel for each part of your car; do not use one for cleaning all parts. You would not want to contaminate the interior with bird droppings or scratch the auto paint after wiping the wheels. Try not to wash all the towels together; in fact, place them separately. You can use liquid detergent, microfibre wash solution, or regular detergent with a half cup of vinegar. Avoid fabric softener as it loses the static charge of the towel. Do not add bleach or powdered laundry detergent. Hot or warm water works the best to remove dust and dirt. Do not dry the towel in extreme heat; use the lowest heat setting on your dryer. Do not iron the microfiber towel; it melts polyester and reduces the fabric's effectiveness. Keep the towels in a covered zone as they are prone to catching dust particles quickly.
The density of the microfibre fabric is directly proportional to its absorption rate. It is measured in grams per square metre (GSM). The greater the GSM, the thicker the fabric, the better the cleaning ability. These are the kinds of microfibre towels based on GSM. Remember, the higher the GSM, the higher the cost of the cloth.
1. General Use Towel: 80/20 400 GSM (Link VERSATOWEL)
For auto interiors, wheels, and general cleaning use.
2. Safe Towel: 70/30 430 GSM (Link NEDGE) Safe for all surfaces, it can be used to remove compounds and ceramic coatings.
3. Delicate Towel: 70/30 500GSM (Link PRIMO) Softer than a Safe Towel, it can be used for applying and removing wax, buffing, and the final wipe down.
4. Glass Towel: 70/30 GSM x 700 GSM (Link Crystowel) Perfect for cleaning your car's glass and piano interior surfaces and screens.

Microfibre drying towels are often recommended for drying cars because they are more absorbent than traditional towels, reducing the chances of streaks and water spots on the vehicle's surface. They are also soft and less likely to scratch the paint compared to other materials, making them safer for your car's finish. Additionally, microfiber towels are durable, reusable, and can be easily washed, making them a cost-effective and eco-friendly choice for car drying.
Using a wash mitt for your car is beneficial because it helps to gently lift dirt and grime off the surface without causing scratches. The mitt's soft and plush material is designed to trap and hold dirt particles, reducing the risk of swirl marks and other imperfections on your car's paint. Additionally, wash mitts are typically more efficient than using a sponge or cloth, as they can cover more area and hold more soapy water, making the washing process quicker and more effective. Overall, using a wash mitt can help you achieve a cleaner and shinier finish for your car.
A carbon weave cloth for glass typically has a unique texture which allows for better absorption of liquids and streak-free cleaning of glass surfaces. On the other hand, a traditional microfibre cloth is smooth and is designed for general-purpose cleaning, including dusting, wiping, and polishing various surfaces. The carbon cloth's texture helps it to trap dirt and grime more effectively on glass surfaces, making it ideal for tasks like cleaning windows, mirrors, and glass tables.
Microfibre is a synthetic fiber that is very fine and composed of extremely small fibers, typically made of materials like polyester or nylon. The fibers are much thinner than human hair and are densely packed together. Microfibre cloths are popular for cleaning because their tiny fibers can reach into crevices and microscopic urface pits that cotton cloths or paper towels might miss. They are known for their exceptional ability to absorb liquids, trap dirt and dust, and leave surfaces clean and streak-free without the need for cleaning chemicals.
