When it comes to drying your car after a wash, few tools can match the softness and absorbency of a quality microfibre towel. These high-tech fibres are designed to wick away water without leaving lint or streaks behind, so your paintwork and glass stay spotless and scratch-free.
Unlike old-school chamois or cotton rags, microfibre towels have a plush texture that lifts dirt and water away from the surface. This reduces the risk of swirls and scratches while cutting drying time in half. There are different styles to suit every task, from fluffy plush towels that soak up massive amounts of water to waffle weaves that glide across glass and leave it crystal clear.
Here are a few tips for getting the most out of your microfibre towels:
- Wash and dry separate sets of microfibre towels for paint and wheels to avoid cross-contamination.
- Use ultra-soft, high GSM towels for drying paint and lower GSM for buffing and quick detailer wipe-downs.
- Always wash your microfibre towels with a dedicated microfibre detergent and avoid fabric softeners to maintain absorbency.
