Premium Microfibre
Soft enough for any paint, dense enough for any residue
The Gentleman's 500g/m² construction gives you a cloth that cushions the paint while pulling wax, polish and QD residue cleanly off the surface. Ultra-soft fibres on both sides mean you can use either face without worrying about contact marks.
Why the Gentleman
Four reasons it earns its place in your kit
Designed for paint-safe residue removal at every stage of the detail.
-
Both-Side Softness
Ultra-soft fluffy fibres on both faces so you can flip and keep working without risking the paint.
-
Laser-Cut Edges
No stitched border that can drag across a freshly corrected or coated surface.
-
500g/m² Density
High pile weight absorbs carrier oils and residue in fewer passes, keeping the panel streak-free.
-
Versatile Application
Handles wax and QD application as well as polish and residue removal, inside and out.
How It Stacks Up
Gentleman vs. a standard budget microfibre
Not all microfibre cloths behave the same on paint. Here's how the Gentleman compares with the kind of unbranded or budget cloth that often ends up in a detailing kit.
| Feature | DetailerSA | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Fibres on both sides | Yes | No |
| Laser-cut edges (no scratching border) | Yes | No |
| 500g/m² density | Yes | No |
| Safe on painted surfaces | Yes | Yes |
| Suitable for wax and QD application | Yes | Yes |
| Machine washable | Yes | Yes |
Built for Detailers
The details that protect your paint and your work
Laser-cut edges remove the stitched border that can catch and scratch on a freshly polished panel, while the laser-etched Work Stuff logo keeps the cloth easy to identify in a busy detailing kit. It's the kind of considered design that prevents callbacks.

Questions
Frequently asked
Do I need to wash the Gentleman cloth before using it for the first time?
Yes. A pre-wash before first use opens the fibres and removes any manufacturing residue, giving you better absorbency and performance from the start. Use a dedicated microfibre detergent and skip the fabric softener.
What surfaces is this cloth safe to use on?
The Gentleman is designed for use on painted bodywork, clear coats, and interior surfaces. The ultra-soft fibres and laser-cut edges make it suitable for motorcycles and cars alike, including dark and black paint where marring is most visible.
Can I use the Gentleman cloth to apply wax, or is it only for buffing?
It handles both. The dense, fluffy pile spreads paste and liquid waxes evenly, and the same side buffs the residue off cleanly once the product has flashed. You can also use it with quick detailers for a streak-free finish.
Is this cloth suitable for machine polishing residue removal?
Yes. After running a dual-action or rotary with a finishing pad, the Gentleman's 500g/m² density picks up and traps polish oils and carrier residue without smearing. Work panel by panel while the residue is still fresh.
Can I use this cloth on a ceramic-coated surface?
Absolutely. The soft pile is ideal for buffing a quick detailer or spray sealant over a cured ceramic coating without scratching the hard surface layer. Just make sure the cloth is freshly laundered and free of any grit before touching a coated panel.
How do I wash the Gentleman cloth to keep it performing well?
Machine wash with a quality microfibre detergent at a low temperature. Do not use fabric softener as it clogs the fibres and reduces absorbency. Tumble dry on a cool setting or air dry, and keep it separate from terrycloth or cotton items that shed lint.
How many cloths do I need for a typical detail?
For a full exterior detail, having three to four Gentleman cloths on hand is practical: one or two for wax or polish application, one for buffing residue, and a spare in case a cloth picks up contamination. Rotate them out rather than pushing a dirty cloth back onto the paint.
Does the 40×40 cm size make a difference compared with smaller microfibre cloths?
The larger surface area means more clean cloth contact per pass before you need to refold, which reduces the risk of reintroducing residue or grit to the paint. It also covers bonnet panels and doors more efficiently than a standard 30×30 cm cloth.
