Cleaning and maintenance of the microfiber cloth is essential for correct application of the products and to guarantee professional results that only true detailers intend to achieve.

Here's how to clean the cloth:

• Wash the microfibre cloth : to clean the microfibre cloth correctly, we recommend washing the cloths manually in cold water (max 30°C) in order not to damage the cloth or cause it to shrink. The cloths are made partly of polyester, which may shrink or stiffen at high temperatures. For the cleaning and degreasing action of the cloths, we recommend only using neutral soaps (for example Marseille soap), dosing it based on the condition of the cloth.
• Dry the microfibre cloth : ideal drying should take place indoors or in any case away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Once dry, to give tone to the microfibre again, we recommend flapping the cloth in the air a few times, until we notice the microfibre swelling.

All The Care cloths are received in resealable plastic packaging which allows them to be stored and distinguished without opening the packaging using the appropriate identification label, preventing it from getting dirty or gathering dust in the periods between one treatment and another.

The fundamental thing during washing is to avoid using fabric softeners, as they would ruin the cloth and invalidate its properties. The risks if used are the following:

• Reduced effectiveness : fabric softeners leave a residue on the surface which invalidates their ability to capture dirt and dust
• Reduction of absorption : some cloths are designed not to absorb products but to spread them, the use of softeners makes the cloths partially hydrophobic, preventing the products from being absorbed even in cloths in which it is essential for this to happen
• Cloth Deterioration : A cloth is considered clean when there are no chemicals present on the cloth. Fabric softeners often leave chemical residues that cause the cloth to deteriorate

Another thing to avoid is drying in the sun, we recommend drying indoors or in the shade to prevent the cloth from stiffening and UV rays from decreasing the elasticity and resistance of the fabrics.

The Care offers various cloths for detailers:

• Double-sided green cloth with short pile to ensure the right friction during the cleaning processes
• Orange colored cloth , one side is short-haired while the other is long-haired, for the cleaning and finishing phase
• Gold colored cloth , soft on both sides for the finishing part
• Red, non-absorbent cloth used for wax and similar applications

Microfibre cloths are fundamental accessories in detailing, useful both for cleaning and for the application of multiple products.

Each cloth is specific for a specific treatment or step, so it becomes essential to make a distinction between the types of cloths, which can be: cleaning, finishing or polishing.

• Cleaning cloths : cloths such as Microfibre Cloth green are characterized by a short pile on one or both sides of the cloth and high absorbent power, suitable for wiping the surfaces with which it comes into contact. This cloth should be sprayed with the product, as well as applied to the surface to be treated, so as to soften it by then carrying out rotary movements to allow the products to be spread on the surface and so that the cloth can carry out the correct abrasive and absorbent action of the dirt that allows excellent cleaning of the surface
• Finishing cloths : cloths such as Microfibre Cloth gold , on the other hand, are soft, characterized by long hair on one or both sides of the cloth, which allows the cloth to absorb residues of applied products. Specifically, the action of removing excess products could take place with rotary or perpendicular movements based on the area to be treated
• Polishing cloths : cloths such as Microfibre Cloth red are thick, very soft to the touch on one or two parts and are non-absorbent products, capable of spreading the product without removing or absorbing it, minimizing the application of the product and maximizing the results. They are used, for example, with car wax such as Polishing Protective Wax
• Double-sided cloths : cloths such as Microfibre Cloth orange can have two different sides, one with a shorter pile like the green microfibre cloth and one with a longer pile such as the gold microfibre cloth. This makes them 2 in 1, normally suitable for both cleaning and finishing. They are used

The microfibre cloth is an essential accessory for various car detailing operations. In fact, it can be used with different products at different stages of the car care process.

The microfiber cloth can be used with products such as:

• Cleaners and detergents
• Quick detailer
• Polish

For adequate car care it is important to associate the right microfibre cloth with each product. In fact, there are different microfibre cloths capable of responding to the characteristics and peculiarities of car detailing products. Let's see them together:

• Cloths for general cleaning : these cloths, like Microfibre Cloth green, are ideal for general cleaning of the bodywork, interiors and other surfaces. They are short-haired, soft, do not scratch and have good absorbency. They are suitable for removing dust, light dirt and car cleaning product residues. Due to these characteristics, they are excellent to use with products for deep degreasing such as Degreaser , or for cleaning glass such as Glass Cleaner . Depending on your needs, you may need these microfiber cloths for more specific purposes, such as cleaning wheels, removing insect residue, or caring for particular car surfaces. In combination with the disposable TNT Cloth non-woven cloths for the most stubborn dirt or in the presence of contaminants, the green microfibre cleaning cloth is ideal with products for removing resin and tar such as Tar / Resin remover or residues of insects as Bug Remover . The same is true for the application of dashboard polishing products such as Dashboard Polish . Due to its cleaning capacity and high absorbent power, microfibre cleaning cloths are already included in various specific kits such as Interior Cleaner, for cleaning car interiors, such as dashboards, dashboard and seats, Plastic / Metal Refresher for the polishing and protection of the plastic and metal surfaces of the passenger compartment, and Antifog for a long-lasting anti-fogging action of internal glass and crystals
• Polishing cloths : these cloths, like Microfibre Cloth red, are designed for applying car waxes and quick detailers and for the polishing phase in general. They are thick, ultra-soft, softer and more delicate than others, to avoid scratches during the polishing process. They are less absorbent cloths precisely to allow perfect application of some products and easy removal of excess. Due to these characteristics, the polishing cloth is the ideal ally for the application of Polishing Protective Wax car wax, but also of quick detailers such as Brightening Protective Detailer for shiny cars and Renewing Protective Detailer for matt cars
• Finishing cloths : these cloths, like Microfibre Cloth gold , are designed to maximize the final finishing phase by eliminating every trace and stain from the surface. They are very soft and delicate cloths and can be used with quick detailers such as the red cloths and for the finishing touch after applying Dashboard Polish for dashboards
• Double-sided cloths : these cloths, like Microfibre Cloth orange, are adaptable to different uses depending on needs and due to their shape they can be used as a single multifunction cloth to always have with you. They have a double face, a short-haired one like the green cloth, which can be used for cleaning glass and all different types of internal and external surfaces, and a long-haired one like the gold cloth, which can be used to remove excess product, dry and finish
