FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Gold Label towel's hybrid microfibre blend?

The hybrid blend combines ultra-fine twist-loop and short-pile microfibres. This design enhances its ability to rapidly absorb and trap large amounts of water, leading to faster and more efficient drying.

Is this towel safe for delicate surfaces like ceramic coatings?

Yes, the towel is specifically designed to be safe for all exterior vehicle surfaces, including paintwork, glass, ceramic coatings, and paint protection film (PPF). Its ultra-soft fibres and 900 GSM density minimize friction and the risk of micro-scratches.

How should I wash the FibreKing Gold Label Drying Towel?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C-40°C using 25-50ml of specialist microfibre wash and an extra rinse cycle. Hand wash by diluting the same amount of microfibre wash in warm water and rinsing thoroughly.

Can I use fabric softener with this towel?

No, it is crucial not to use fabric softener or chlorine bleach. These products can clog the microfibres, reducing absorbency and damaging the towel's effectiveness and lifespan.

What does 900 GSM mean for drying performance?

GSM stands for 'Grams per Square Meter,' which indicates the towel's density and thickness. A 900 GSM towel is very plush and dense, allowing it to hold a significant amount of water, which results in faster, streak-free drying.

Why do the edges have a 'hidden stitch'?

The hidden edge design is a premium feature that further protects delicate automotive surfaces. It ensures that the stitching itself does not come into contact with the paintwork, further reducing the risk of accidental scratches or marring.

Will the grey color affect its use in a color-coded cleaning system?

The grey color is intended to fit into many color-coded systems. However, always ensure you dedicate specific towels for specific tasks (e.g., drying only) to maintain optimal cleanliness and prevent cross-contamination of cleaning chemicals.

What is the recommended drying method after washing?

Hang the towel to air dry completely or tumble dry on the lowest, coolest setting. Avoid high heat, as it can damage the microfibre structure and reduce its absorbency over time.

Troubleshooting

Towel is not absorbing water effectively

Ensure the towel has been washed before first use. If it's an older towel, it may be contaminated with wax, polish, or detergent residue. Wash using a dedicated microfibre cleaner and the recommended machine settings. Avoid using fabric softener, as it clogs microfibres.

Towel leaves streaks after drying

This can be due to insufficient rinsing during washing, leading to detergent residue. Try an extra rinse cycle. Also, ensure the towel is not overly saturated; wring it out periodically. Check if the towel is old and the fibres are worn.

Minor color bleeding on first wash

This is normal for some colored microfibres. Wash the towel separately or with items of a similar color for the first few washes until the bleeding stops. This does not affect the towel's performance.

Towel feels stiff or rough

Fabric softener or high heat drying can cause stiffness. Re-wash the towel using a microfibre-specific cleaner and air dry or tumble dry on a low/cool setting. Avoid ironing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Use: Wash the towel before its first use to remove any residual manufacturing dust and to prepare the microfibres for maximum absorbency. Be aware that some color bleed may occur during the first wash; therefore, wash it with similar colors or separately.

Compatibility: This drying towel is safe for use on all automotive exterior surfaces, including clear coats, ceramic coatings, paint protection film (PPF), glass, chrome, and plastic trim. Its non-abrasive nature makes it suitable for all vehicle types.

Care Instructions:

  • Machine Wash: Use 25-50ml of a dedicated microfibre wash solution on a gentle cycle at 30°C to 40°C. An extra rinse cycle is recommended. Adhere to your washing machine's guidelines.
  • Hand Wash: Dilute 25-50ml of specialist microfibre wash in a bucket of warm water. Submerge the towel thoroughly and rinse well.
  • Drying: Hang the towel to air dry or use a tumble dryer on the lowest, coolest setting. Avoid high heat.
  • Do Not Use: Fabric softener, chlorine bleach, or iron the towel. Avoid contact with strong chemical cleaners, as they can degrade the microfibre structure.
