Car Detailing Microfiber

How to get a lint-free, streak-free finish from your microfiber towels, and how to keep them working for hundreds of washes.

Common mistakes to avoid

1
Using too much product
This plush microfiber absorbs minimal product for easy applying and buffing. Using too much product on your microfiber wastes valuable detailer, creates unnecessary mess, and makes it harder to achieve a streak-free finish. The microfiber is designed to work efficiently with small amounts.
The fixApply product to an applicator pad first, then use the microfiber for buffing only. If applying product with the microfiber, use only a dime-sized amount. The 800 GSM plush pile picks up just the right amount for perfect application.
2
Using bleach or fabric softener
Bleach breaks down microfiber strands and reduces absorbency. Fabric softener coats the fibers, making them less effective at absorbing water and leaving residue on your paint surfaces. Both permanently damage the towel's performance and cannot be reversed.
The fixPre-wash before first use. Machine wash in warm water, under 140F (60C), with mild, fragrance-free detergent. Never use bleach or fabric softener.
3
Using a high heat setting on the dryer
High heat can destroy the microfiber, so air dry or tumble dry with no heat. Excessive heat melts the synthetic fibers, reduces their softness, and decreases their ability to absorb product and buff effectively. Once damaged by heat, microfiber cannot be restored.
The fixAir dry your microfiber towels by hanging them, or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting, or the no-heat air-fluff setting. Remove promptly from the dryer to prevent wrinkles. Store in a clean, dry place away from dirt and debris.
