Detailing Microfiber Towels

If you’re detailing your ride and still using old T-shirts or generic rags, stop right now. The right detailing microfiber towel makes all the difference—whether you’re buffing out polish, drying after a wash, or wiping down your interior. But with so many options out there, how do you know what’s actually worth your money?

Let’s break down everything you need to know about quality microfiber towels for car detailing, from GSM to grades, care tips, and answers to the most Googled microfiber questions.

What Makes a Microfiber Towel “Good Quality”?

High-quality microfiber feels soft, dense, and plush—not stiff or cheap. Here's what to look for:

Split microfiber (the fibers are broken to create more surface area for trapping dirt)
Blended ratio around 70/30 or 80/20 polyester to polyamide
No tags (or removable ones)
Laser-cut or silk edges to avoid scratching
Lint-free and absorbent, even after multiple washes

A cheap towel might look okay at first—but after a few washes, it’ll feel rough, lint like crazy, and risk scratching your paint.

Which GSM Microfiber Cloth Is Best for Car Detailing?

GSM (Grams per Square Meter) tells you how thick and plush the towel is:

GSM Range	Use Case
200–300 GSM	General cleaning, engine bays, wheels
350–450 GSM	Polish and wax removal
500–800 GSM	Paint-safe buffing, quick detailers
800–1200+ GSM	High-end drying towels

Is 90 GSM microfiber good?

Nope. 90 GSM is way too thin for car detailing. It won't hold dirt, won't absorb water, and will likely cause scratches on paint.

Are There Different Grades of Microfiber Cloths?

Yes. Microfiber towels come in different:

Blends (70/30 is better than 90/10 for softness)
Weaves (plush, waffle, suede, looped)
Edge finishing (laser-cut is ideal)
Purposes (glass, drying, buffing, etc.)

Pro tip: Color-code your towels so wheel towels never touch your paint.

Microfiber vs Cotton vs Polycotton – Which Is Better?

Microfiber beats cotton and polycotton in almost every category:

More absorbent
Traps dirt better
Lint-free
Doesn’t scratch when used properly

Cotton is fine for drying your gym gear, not your freshly polished hood.

Common Microfiber Towel Questions (Answered)

Do microfiber towels absorb water?

Yes. Good ones absorb up to 7x their weight in water. Drying towels with twisted-loop weaves are best.

Are microfiber towels good or bad?

They’re great if you get quality ones and care for them right. Bad microfiber can scratch surfaces or fall apart fast.

What setting for microfiber in the washer?

Cold or warm water
Delicate or low-spin setting
No fabric softener or bleach

Can you put microfiber towels in the washing machine?

Yes. Wash them separately from other clothes or towels.

What detergent should I use for microfiber towels?

Use a dedicated microfiber detergent or a mild, liquid detergent with no softeners or scents. Harsh chemicals ruin absorption.

Can I wash microfiber towels with other clothes?

Avoid it. Lint from cotton clothes will stick to your microfiber forever.

How many times can you use a microfiber towel before washing?

Once per job is best. Don’t use a dirty towel on your paint.

Is it OK to dry a car with a microfiber towel?

Absolutely. In fact, it’s the best way to dry a car without scratching it—if the towel is clean and soft.

Do you throw away microfiber towels?

Eventually. When they get rough, lose absorbency, or won’t release dirt after washing—retire them to wheel or engine bay duty.

Microfiber Care Tips: Keep Them Working Like New

Wash after each use (especially after polishing or waxing)
Air dry or tumble dry on low heat only
Store in a clean container or sealed bag
Never use fabric softener—it clogs the fibers

How to renew microfiber towels?

Soak in a mix of white vinegar and hot water, then rewash with microfiber detergent. This strips waxes, residues, and revives softness.

How Many Microfiber Towels Do You Really Need?

If you’re doing full car detailing:

6–8 for exterior paint
2+ drying towels
2 glass towels
4–6 for interior
4+ junk towels for wheels or engine bay

That’s 15–20 towels in your regular rotation. Trust us—you’ll use them.

Final Verdict: Are Microfiber Towels Worth It?

Absolutely. If you care about your paint, microfiber towels are the best investment you’ll make. Just make sure they’re high quality, matched to the right job, and treated with care.

Which Cold Air Intake Performs Best?

Tired of internet debates about what intake makes the most power? So are we. That’s why we tested three popular intake systems—on the same truck, under the same conditions—to find out what actually works. The contenders:

The new K&N NextGen intake
A closed box competitor from a major brand
A discount open airbox found online

We put them through three tests: airflow, dyno performance, and real-world acceleration. The test vehicle: a 2018 Chevy Silverado with a 6.2L V8. Let’s dive into the results.

Test 1: Flowbench Airflow

Using a Superflow 1020 Flowbench, we measured CFM at 1.5” and 15” of water restriction:

Stock Intake: 155.1 CFM (1.5”), 527.6 CFM (15”)
K&N NextGen: 231.4 CFM, 745.4 CFM ✅
Closed Box Competitor: 216.8 CFM, 705.5 CFM
Open Airbox: 211.0 CFM, 717.8 CFM

Winner: K&N delivered the most airflow across the board, beating both competitors and stock significantly.

Test 2: Dyno – Horsepower & Torque Gains

Tested on a Superflow SF880E dyno. Three runs per intake, using the most average pull for comparison:

K&N NextGen:
+27.1 HP / +39.0 lb-ft at 5,000 RPM ✅
Consistent gains across the entire powerband
Closed Box Competitor:
+17.0 HP / +16.5 lb-ft at 5,300 RPM
Lost 14 HP vs. stock in the mid-range
Open Airbox:
+6.2 HP / +6.3 lb-ft at 5,400 RPM
Lost 6 HP below 3,500 RPM

Key takeaway: Only K&N showed power gains at every RPM, especially in the 2,000–4,000 RPM range where you drive the most. The competitors actually lost power in everyday driving RPMs.

Test 3: Track Testing – Real-World Acceleration

To test real-world gains, we hit the 1/8-mile drag strip. Three runs per intake, same driver, same truck.

Stock Intake:
10.32 sec @ 72.79 mph
Closed Box Competitor:
10.21 sec @ 73.05 mph
Open Airbox:
10.24 sec @ 72.63 mph
K&N NextGen:
9.98 sec @ 75.07 mph ✅
Over 0.3 sec quicker and 2.5 mph faster than stock

Winner: Again, the K&N NextGen intake clearly outperformed the competition, delivering measurable track gains.

Why Did the K&N Intake Win?

K&N’s advantage comes from engineering. Each intake is designed specifically for the vehicle—tuned for optimal airflow and usable power across the RPM range. Before release, K&N intakes go through:

Flow testing
Dyno verification
Road and track testing
Filtration and durability analysis

If it doesn’t perform, it doesn’t go to market. Simple as that.

Final Verdict

K&N’s NextGen intake outperformed both the closed box and discount open airbox in:

✅ Airflow
✅ Peak horsepower and torque
✅ Power at usable RPMs
✅ Track acceleration

Most drivers aren’t living at redline. You want an intake that gives real performance you can feel—on the street, towing, or off-road. K&N delivered consistent, measurable gains where they matter most.
