Made of a "fluffy" high-pile microfiber material, the Micro-Fluffy towels were specially developed for Swissvax in Germany.
Thanks to their extraordinary, thick, prime-quality (about 1000gsm) microfibers, one 15-inch Micro-Fluffy towel can wipe down an entire car.
Truly state-of-the-art extreme absorption levels are guaranteed by this high quality microfiber material, which consists of 70% polyester / 30% polyamide with 0.02 Denier microfibers. A special silk seam for use on automotive paint allows for the towels to be machine-washed up to 60°C. Remove the washing-instructions label before use.
On today's market, microfiber towels can be found in all qualities. So here is a few tips on how you can differentiate between prime-quality towels and cheap off-the-mill products:
i) The Microfiber Quality
Cheap microfiber towels do not have "split fibers" as the equipment required to actually "split" the fibers is very expensive. Quality microfiber towels can absorb 7 to 8 times of their own weight (as split fibers offer a far superior larger absorption rate/surface).
ii) The Microfiber Size
Economy-grade microfiber towels always have larger fibers (up to 0.5 Denier or more, which is about the diameter of a normal polyester thread). Top-quality towels are made of "real" microfibers measuring 0.01 to 0.02 Denier. The more fibers a microfiber tissue can offer per square inch or m2, the better the results.
iii) The Microfiber Material
As polyamide is far more costly than polyester, consequently, cheap towels often consist of 100% polyester or only contain a very small percentage of polyamide. This has obviously a significant impact on their absorbtion rate. A mix of 80% polyester and 20% polyamide is today's "quality standard". A 70%/30% prime-quality mix however, will absorb fluids even better AND much faster. As mostly, quality comes at a price.
iv) The Seams
For usage on automotive paintwork finishes, only seamless microfiber towels or prime towels with a silk seam are recommendable as microfiber towels with stitched seams have a big chance to scratch or streak paintwork.
