Discover our selection of drying towels that are gentle on your paint and ensure a professional finish.
microfiber car drying towels
After washing the car, it is essential to dry it to prevent annoying water stains from forming. Microfiber cloths are perfect for this.
Microfiber is an extremely absorbent material that absorbs significantly more water than conventional fabrics. The fine fibers of microfiber are also particularly gentle and kind to the paint, preventing scratches and streaks when drying. Microfiber not only dries efficiently, but also leaves no residue or lint, resulting in a streak-free and shiny finish. In addition, microfiber cloths are durable and easy to clean, making them the ideal choice for car care.
What does GSM mean in the context of microfiber cloths?
GSM (grams per square meter) indicates the surface weight of a microfiber cloth and describes how dense and heavy the material is. In car care, a higher surface weight, such as 1300 or 1800 GSM, means that the microfiber cloth is particularly absorbent, soft and thick, making it ideal for drying large areas. A high GSM number ensures that the cloth can absorb more water without scratching the paint or leaving streaks. Lower GSM values, on the other hand, are better suited for lighter tasks such as removing polish or wax.
Different types of fibers and their benefits
When it comes to choosing the right drying towel for your car, there are several different types of fibers available, each offering its own advantages:
Plush Chenille fibers: Extremely soft and gentle on the paint, ideal for sensitive surfaces and thorough drying.
Korea Microfiber: High quality, durable and very absorbent, perfect for daily car care.
Twisted Pile Fiber: Specially twisted for maximum absorbency, ideal for large areas and fast, streak-free drying.
Car drying cloth: How to use your microfiber cloth correctly!
Proper use of your microfiber car drying towel starts with choosing the right towel. Make sure to choose a towel with a high basis weight (GSM) that is ideal for the size of your vehicle and your needs. A towel with 1300 to 1800 GSM will give you the best absorbency for large areas without leaving streaks.
1. Choose the right cloth: For larger cars or more water absorption, a highly absorbent drying cloth with a high GSM value is suitable. For smaller areas, you can use a slightly thinner cloth.
2. Let the vehicle drip dry: After washing the car, let the excess water drain off briefly so that the cloth does not become soaked immediately.
3. Lay the cloth flat: Lay the car drying cloth flat on the paint surface without applying pressure. Absorbent microfiber cloths absorb the water on their own.
4. Pull instead of rub: Gently pull the absorbent car drying towel over the paintwork instead of rubbing it back and forth. This way you avoid scratches and work effectively.
5. Let it absorb: For particularly wet areas, you can place the car drying towel lightly on the paint surface and let it absorb the water before moving on.
6. Change cloth when it is soaked: Once the microfiber cloth is soaked, change to a fresh one or wring it out lightly to continue to achieve best results and avoid water stains.
With the right technique and a highly absorbent car drying towel, drying is gentle and streak-free without damaging the paint.
Car drying towel: How to wash it properly!
Your car drying towel can be washed in the washing machine at up to 60°C, ideally with a special detergent for microfibers to protect the material. If you want to wash your microfiber cloth in the washing machine, be sure to avoid using fabric softener! Fabric softener causes the fibers to stick together and thus lose their absorbency. After washing, you should shake the cloth out and hang it up to dry. Important: Do not continue to use microfiber cloths if they are dirty or contaminated, for example through contact with the floor, as this could cause scratches on the paintwork.
