In the details of car beauty, such as wiping, plating, interior cleaning, waxing, etc., the wiping tools we use are almost all microfiber cloth. However, there are so many microfiber cloths available on the market, and the quality is also "good and bad". Let me share with you how to choose micro fiber cloth today.
Invention of microfiber cloth
The micro fiber cloth Ultrasuede was invented in 1970 by Dr. Miyoshi Okamoto. It is known as an artificial alternative to suede. And the fabric is versatile: it can be used in fashion, interior decoration, automotive and other vehicle decoration, as well as industrial applications such as protective fabrics for electronic devices.
About the characteristics of microfibers
Due to its small diameter, the micro fiber has a small bending stiffness, a particularly soft fiber feel, a strong cleaning function and a waterproof and breathable effect. The ultrafine fibers have many fine pores between the microfibers to form a capillary structure, and if processed into a towel-like fabric, they have high water absorption, and a large amount of residual water can be quickly dried using a microfiber towel after washing.
Gram
The higher the weight, the better the quality and the higher the price; on the contrary, the low-weight fabrics are cheaper and the quality is worse. The unit of weight is “g/m2” (g/m2), abbreviated as FAW. The weight of the fabric is generally the weight of the square fabric weight, and the weight is an important technical indicator of the microfiber fabric.
Grain type
In the automotive beauty industry, micro fiber cloth is divided into three types of long hair, short hair and waffle. Long hair is mainly used for large-area water harvesting steps; short hair is used for details processing, plating and wiping, etc.; and waffle is mainly used for cleaning and wiping glass.
Softness
Thanks to the small diameter of the micro fiber fabric, it is easy to get a very soft hand, but the softness of the towels produced by different manufacturers is not the same. The softer towels are less likely to leave scratches when wiping. It is recommended to use. A softer towel.
Seaming process
There are processes such as satin seams and laser seamless seams. In general, the seaming process that hides the stitches can reduce the possibility of scratching the paint.
Durability
The better the quality, the finer fiber cloth is less prone to hair loss, and it is not easy to be hard after several times of cleaning. Such micro fiber cloth has a longer durability.
Microfiber fabrics are usually shaped fibers, and the fineness of the filaments is usually only one-twentieth of that of ordinary polyester filaments. In contrast, microfiber fabrics have a larger contact area with the surface to be cleaned! And having a larger contact area gives the microfiber better dust removal effect!
