Safe Wash Technology
Lift the dirt. Leave the paint.
The high-pile microfibre construction pulls dirt and grit up into the fibres and holds it there, away from the paint surface, so each stroke is a safe, scratch-free glide rather than a risk to your finish.
Why It Works
Every feature earns its place.
Designed around one goal: a safe, swirl-free wash, every time.
-
Ultra-Soft Pile
High-pile microfibre fibres are gentle enough for corrected and ceramic-coated paint on every pass.
-
Swirl Prevention
Deep fibres trap dirt and grit away from the surface so it never grinds against the clear coat.
-
Suds Retention
Holds a generous load of soapy water for consistent lubrication and smooth glide across large panels.
-
Machine Washable
Rinse, machine wash, and reuse - the pad is built for long-term use without losing its softness.

Questions
Frequently asked
How do I use the Microfibre Wash Pad correctly?
Load the pad with your wash solution and use straight, overlapping strokes across each panel rather than circular motions. Work from the roof down, finishing with the lower panels and sills, which carry the most contamination. Rinse the pad in a separate bucket between panels to avoid dragging collected dirt back across the paint.
Is it safe on freshly corrected or ceramic-coated paint?
Yes. The ultra-soft, high-pile microfibre is gentle enough for corrected paint and coated surfaces. The deep pile lifts dirt away from the surface rather than grinding it in, so your correction work and coating stay protected during the wash stage.
Can I use this on glass, plastic trims, and rubber seals?
The pad is safe for use on glass, plastic trims, and rubber seals. Its soft fibres will not scratch or leave marks on these surfaces, making it a versatile single-tool option for the full exterior wash.
Which wash shampoos work best with this pad?
The pad pairs well with any pH-neutral or high-lubricity car shampoo. A shampoo with a slick, sudsy formula maximises the pad's water retention and gives you a smooth, low-friction glide across the panel. Avoid using it with degreasers or all-purpose cleaners that aren't formulated for paint contact.
Should I use it with a single bucket or two-bucket setup?
A two-bucket wash method is strongly recommended. Keep one bucket for your shampoo solution and a second for rinsing the pad between panels. This prevents dirt collected from one panel being transferred back to the clean wash solution, which is one of the most common causes of wash-induced swirl marks.
How do I wash and care for the pad after use?
The pad is machine washable. Rinse it thoroughly after each use to remove any residual shampoo and loose contamination, then machine wash on a gentle cycle without fabric softener. Fabric softener coats the microfibre and reduces its ability to absorb and lift dirt. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat.
How long will the pad last with regular use?
With proper care - thorough rinsing after each use and regular machine washing without fabric softener - the pad is built for long-lasting, repeated use. The microfibre pile maintains its softness and dirt-lifting ability over many wash cycles, making it a cost-effective tool in a regular maintenance routine.
Can I use this pad during a decon wash with iron fallout remover or clay?
The wash pad is suited to a pre-decon or post-decon rinse wash, but avoid using it to apply or agitate chemical fallout removers or clay lubricants directly. For the decon stage, dedicated applicators or microfibre cloths suited to that chemical are a better choice. Use the wash pad for the initial safe wash and the final rinse wash around your decon steps.
