FAQs

How many cloths are included in the pack?

The pack contains three Gtechniq microfibre cloths.

What is the primary difference between these cloths and regular cleaning cloths?

These cloths feature a higher polyamide content (30%) and ultra-split fibres, making them more absorbent, gentler on surfaces, and lint-free compared to standard cloths.

Can I use these cloths for car detailing?

While effective, they are specifically optimized for bike cleaning. For car detailing, Gtechniq offers specialized cloths designed for automotive paintwork.

How often should I wash the microfibre cloths?

Wash them after each significant cleaning session to maintain optimal performance and hygiene. Avoid letting them become heavily soiled before washing.

What is the recommended washing temperature?

Machine wash at a low temperature, up to 40°C (104°F).

Can I use bleach to clean the cloths?

No, bleach should not be used as it can damage the microfibres and reduce their cleaning effectiveness.

Are these cloths suitable for applying waxes or polishes?

These cloths are primarily designed for cleaning and drying. For applying waxes or polishes, it is recommended to use dedicated applicators to ensure even distribution and avoid contamination.

Troubleshooting

Cloths are leaving streaks on the surface.

Ensure you are not using fabric softener during washing. Check for any residual cleaning product on the bike surface. Rinse the cloth thoroughly and try again.

Cloths are not absorbing moisture effectively.

This can happen if fabric softener has been used. Try a vinegar rinse (1 part white vinegar to 4 parts water) to strip residue, followed by a wash without detergent. Ensure the cloths are not overloaded with dirt or grime before use.

Fibre shedding or lint is present after cleaning.

This is uncommon due to the warp knit and ultra-split fibre design. Ensure the cloths have not been contaminated with abrasive materials or lint from other sources. Wash the cloths separately if this persists.
