The Microfiber Towel: The Most Important Detailing Tool
You can have the best products, but poor towels will ruin your work. Microfiber towels are essential. Use a plush, high-GSM (500+) towel for drying and applying wax—it's soft and absorbent. Use a shorter-nap, edgeless towel for buffing off residue without streaking. Waffle-weave towels are great for glass. Never use fabric softener when washing microfiber, as it coats the fibers and destroys their ability to grab dirt and absorb liquid.
FAQ:
Q: How do I clean my microfiber towels?
A: Wash them separately from other laundry in warm water with a small amount of detergent (no softener). You can add a bit of white vinegar to the rinse cycle. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
Q: When should I throw a towel away?
A: When it becomes stiff, leaves lint, or no longer absorbs liquid effectively. Using it on very dirty areas (wheel wells) without frequent washing will shorten its life.
