Tips
- If possible, have an assortment of towel sizes on hand for different projects. The different sizes will come in handy for different parts of the vehicle.
- A high-quality microfiber towel will resist tearing or ripping after a few uses.
- Each towel manufacturer uses slightly different materials for their microfiber cloth surfaces, so test a few out before buying one to get a sense of how each one performs.
FAQ
Q. Why can't I use a regular towel to clean my vehicle?
A. Normal towels are too hard to use on delicate body panels. Using a microfiber towel, on the other hand, won't scratch the surface because the material is soft.
Q. How absorbent should a microfiber towel be?
A. There is no specific amount, but the towel should avoid just pushing the water around as you clean the surface.
