Microfibre Towel

A microfibre towel is a cloth made of very fine synthetic fibres that picks up dirt and water without scratching paint.

What is Microfibre Towel?

Different types are used for drying, polishing, glass and interiors. Pile height and weight affect absorbency. Edgeless towels reduce the risk of marks. Keep towels for paint, wheels and interior separate to avoid transferring grit.

How it works

Split fibres create a large surface that traps dust and absorbs liquid.

Why it matters for your car

Wash microfibre without fabric softener, which clogs the fibres. Throw away a towel that has been dropped on the ground.
