Towel Care
I have seen alot of talk about microfiber towels, and when web surfin i came accross some things to no.
Caring For Microfiber . . . Microfiber towels can be very expensive and are a very important detailing accessory. Proper microfiber care can extend the life of your towels and keep them soft and absorbent. Here are a few rules to caring for your microfiber towels: 1. Avoid dropping your microfiber on the ground. Microfiber is very “grabby” and whatever dirt it picks up is often difficult to remove from its knap even after washing. 2. Wash your microfiber after each use. 3. Always wash your microfiber separately from any other type of fabric to avoid picking up lint from the other fabrics. 4. Never use bleach as it will eventually stiffen the towel’s fibers. 5. Never use fabric softener as it will clog up the knap of the towel making it less absorbent. 6. Use a detergent with that does not contain perfumes, bleach, fabric softener, or a wrinkle releaser. You can also use a dedicated microfiber detergent like Micro-Restore, Pinnacle Micro Rejuvenator, or Sons Der Wunder Wasche. 7. Always wash your towels in warm or hot water as this will help to remove polish & wax residue from the towel. 8. Adding vinegar to the rinse cycle can help to release any remaining residues on the towel. 9. Store your microfiber in an enclosed container where it will not accumulate dust or get dirty. I wanted to add this for all Car Bra owners Using a Car Bra . . . It is not advised that you use a vinyl bra on the front of your car. Dirt often gets trapped under a car bra and can rub against the paint resulting in scratches. Also, vinyl car bras are not made of a breathable material. This traps moisture in between the car bra and the paint. Eventually, the moisture will migrate into the paint resulting in the paint looking foggy. If you do insist on using a vinyl bra on your car, remove it often and clean away any dirt trapped behind it. Also, remove it whenever you wash the car or whenever the car becomes wet. Alternatively, a clear bra which is adhered to the paint has none of these negative aspects. |
thanks! I was looking to get a bra for my car this winter. I'm guessing clear is the way to go then!
