FAQs

What is the best way to wash this microfibre towel?

Machine wash separately in cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild, microfibre-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

Can I use this towel on black paint without causing scratches?

Yes, the soft, thick coral fleece microfibre is designed to be gentle on all paint finishes, including dark colours, reducing the risk of scratches when used correctly after washing.

What does 500gsm mean for this towel?

GSM (Grams per Square Meter) refers to the fabric's density. A 500gsm towel is denser and thicker than lower GSM towels, indicating higher quality, better absorbency, and a plusher feel.

How do I maintain the absorbency of the towel?

To maintain absorbency, always wash with a microfibre-specific detergent, avoid fabric softeners, and do not use bleach. Ensure it is fully dry before storage.

Is this towel suitable for interior detailing?

While primarily designed for exterior drying, its absorbency and soft texture can also make it suitable for cleaning interior surfaces, wiping down dashboards, or cleaning glass.

What is the difference between coral fleece and other microfibre types?

Coral fleece microfibre is known for its exceptionally soft, dense, and plush pile, offering superior absorbency and a luxurious feel compared to standard microfibre weaves.

Can I use this towel with a drying aid or spray wax?

Yes, this towel is excellent for buffing off drying aids, spray waxes, or sealants, helping to spread the product evenly and remove any excess for a streak-free shine.

Troubleshooting

Towel is not absorbing water effectively.

Ensure the towel has been washed according to care instructions. Fabric softeners or residues can reduce absorbency. Wash again with a microfibre-specific detergent and no softener.

Towel is leaving streaks on the paintwork.

This can occur if the towel is saturated or if there are residues on the paintwork. Ensure the towel is clean and not overloaded with water. Consider using multiple towels for very large vehicles or heavy water removal.

Towel feels stiff after washing.

Fabric softener or drying on high heat can cause stiffness. Re-wash the towel using only a microfibre detergent and tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry.
