Questions
Frequently asked
What products can I use this cloth to buff off?
The cloth is suited to buffing off sealants, spray waxes, paste waxes, quick detailers and ceramic coatings. The high-pile fibres lift product residue without smearing or streaking across the surface.
Is this cloth safe on dark and black paint?
Yes. The ultra-soft, high-pile microfibre is designed to be paint-safe on all colours, including dark and black finishes where swirl marks show most obviously. Always shake the cloth out before use and make sure the buffing surface is free of grit.
Can I use this cloth on glass?
You can use it for a final buff on glass after applying a glass sealant or quick detailer, but for streak-free glass finishing most detailers prefer a dedicated waffle-weave or glass-specific microfibre. This cloth's high pile is optimised for paint surfaces.
What is the cloth's size and GSM rating?
Each cloth measures 40×40 cm and weighs 550 GSM. That combination gives you enough coverage to work a full panel at a time and enough pile density to absorb and hold product residue without it transferring back to the paint.
How should I fold the cloth for the best results?
Fold it into quarters so you have four clean working faces. Flip to a fresh face as each one becomes loaded with residue. This simple habit is one of the most effective ways to avoid reintroducing contamination and inducing light marring during the final buff.
Can this cloth be used with a machine polisher or orbital?
This is a hand-buffing cloth rather than a machine pad. It is not designed to be attached to a dual-action or rotary polisher. Use it by hand for the final product removal and levelling stage.
How do I wash and care for the cloth?
Machine wash separately from your other laundry at a low temperature (40°C or below), without fabric softener or bleach. Fabric softener clogs microfibre and destroys its absorbency. Tumble dry on low or air dry flat. Avoid washing with terry cotton towels, which shed lint onto the microfibre pile.
Can I layer a ceramic coating topper over a surface I just buffed with this cloth?
Yes. Once the initial coating has cured and you have buffed off the high spots or residue with this cloth, you can apply a ceramic topper or spray sealant over the top in the normal way. Make sure the cloth is clean and dry before the topper application step so you are not spreading old coating residue across the panel.
