Wonders of Micro Fiber

[turbomangt]

I read some of the comments on drying in an earlier post and I must voice my opinion. Any Chamois, whether its a leather one or synthetic can potentially harm your finish. If you look at a chamois under a micro scope you will see just how flat the surface is, extremely unforgiving if a foreign partical gets inbetween the chamois and your finish. The introduction of Micro Fiber has brought great things to the detailing world. Not only is micro fiber soft on your finish, but is it super absorbant. The waffle weave drying towel that I sell has recessed chambers which are extremely forgiving if a contaminant gets inbetween the towel and the finish. Here are some quick facts on MF. Every square inche of micro fiber has over 90,000 fibers. Each fiber is 100 times thinner than a strand of hair. while being able to absorb 7 times its own weight, making them the perfect drying towel. Not all Micro fiber are created equal. In my area I have become the largest distributor of MF towels. I have gone through dozens of suppliers before finding the right quality. The best quality right now is coming form Korea, while the cheap imatations are coming from China. Mine have been tested for 500 washes and still are going strong. If you have not used micro fiber yet, do yoursefl a favor a treat yourself to some. Your car will thank for for it, and the finish will love you. Gary

Gary,
Thanks for the info on micro fiber. I have found that chamois is terrible. I switched to micro fiber after using it to wipe off my bowling ball after each shot. Bowling balls made of urethane/reactive resin and particle soak the oil into the outer cover therefore compromising the contact area. Micro fiber pulls the oil off of the ball before it can enter the ball, along with the dirt and dust you find on a lane or the machine that returns the ball. One note, if you wash the micro fiber towel, be sure not to dry the towel with any fabric softener. Doing so can diminish the usefulness of the towel. I am looking for larger towels than what I can find in the bowling industry, I will check out your site right away. Again thanks.

Thank you for adding the tip on fabric softener, you are correct you should NOT use it when washing. Just use soap and light tumble or air dry. Another thing that is amazing on MF, is the fact women have discovered how useful they are in the home. I sell a great deal of MF to households using them on glass and dusting. They are not just for the car anymore. Gary

Any thoughts on creating a Micro Fiber suit? My garage has oil, dust and beer particles in virtually every corner. The grime rate is out of control! I'm far too lazy, and probably a tad too unmotivated to clean it, but if I had a MF'n suit, I'm thinking the entire place will be cleaner than Martha Stewart's cell bunk after just a couple of passes. Not to mention that with a few sumersaults and belly flops I could replinish my spare nuts and bolts drawers.

Come to think of it, if you made some MF'n lingerie, my wife wouldn't have to wash the sheets so often. Or imagine the wonders of a MF'n diaper, never having to change it because the digestively strained strained carrots just cling to the surface! Think of the water savings if you substituted a daily shower with being wiped down by a MF. Amazing!

A line of MF soled shoes could solve America's litter problem virtually overnight. No more crying Indians! Hanging a few MF sheets on a clothesline in L.A. might finally pave the way for the sunset to return to full view as the smog particles are hopelessly caught in a MF'n snare. In fact, if we could refine the MF'n process, shrink it down, condense it, make it more user friendly, reduce the gritty texture, we could invent a tiny little MF that could wipe a hard drive clean! We'll call it Micro Soft!

That said, I use Micro Fiber daily on my eyeglasses, hadn't ever considered it for the car, but now I will. Thanks for the tip! Now I'm an MF'er too!

Tibbs, Good one buddy. I needed that.

Tibbs, I have a cleaning business and am really big on MF.

But you are the biggest MF'r, yet!!!

Thanks for a great laugh. Can I reprint your post for my managers?

[turbomangt]

You are too late, they already make suits, and furniture out of MF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just wish local car wash places would use Micro Fiber instead of Terry. Micro Fiber and Mequiers Quik Detailer are the best thing for my baby!

Gary,

Just received the products I ordered from you (several MFbr towels, brush, clay kit, etc). I just wanted to thank you for the advice and for the products. I am looking forward to the weekend when I can get my 300C and my motorcycle really clean and waxed properly.
