Microfibre cloths help
 
Hi all

I seem to be having troubles with the microfibre cloths i use for drying the car

I have good quality ones and when they were first used sucked the water up great

After one use they dont seem to be ant where near as good

Now they get washed in the machine and no softener is put in and we tumble dry them, my missis recons its the maguirs wash wax i use

Any ideas how to revitalise them?

How do you guys wipe down then?

Ive been told not to use one of those silicone blade things as it can scratch the paint

I use a big synthetic leather and lay it on the car then just wring it out and repeat in sections

You shouldn't really use a microfibre cloth for drying a car when wet, it would be better to use it for buffing your cars bodywork after a polish/wax...or as a duster cloth for your interior/exterior trim..or after you sprayed and cleaned your windows/glass with glass cleaner

either a leather shammy or synthetic cloth would be the choice to dry your car after a wash
