Questions
Frequently asked
What is the difference between the Standard and SUV versions?
The Standard version is 500 GSM and measures 70 x 90 cm - a versatile size that is light and easy to manoeuvre on cars and medium-sized vehicles. The SUV version is 1200 GSM and measures 60 x 90 cm, giving it roughly double the water-holding capacity of the standard cloth, making it the right tool for larger vehicles like SUVs, bakkies, station wagons, vans, boats and caravans.
Are the edges safe on paintwork and PPF?
Yes. Both versions feature finished, label-free edges specifically designed to be gentle against all paint surfaces, including ceramic-coated and PPF-covered panels. There are no hard stitched seams or tags that could catch or scratch the finish.
How do I get the best results when drying with the Micron XXL?
Fold the towel into quarters so you have multiple clean faces to work with. Lay it flat on a panel and draw it toward you with light pressure rather than scrubbing. Refold to a fresh face between panels. For heavily beading surfaces (ceramic or wax-protected paint), a quick blower pass before the towel will speed things up further.
Can I use this towel after a foam or contact wash?
Absolutely - it is designed as a post-wash drying cloth. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly first so loose contamination is off the surface before the towel touches the paint. This is especially important on uncoated paint where any residual grit could cause swirl marks.
Is the Micron XXL safe on ceramic-coated or waxed paint?
Yes. The high-pile microfibre is soft enough for use over any protected surface. On ceramic coatings the towel's absorbency handles the volume of water that sheets off quickly, and the finished edges mean no edge damage to the coating itself.
How do I wash and care for the towel?
Machine wash on a cool to warm cycle (40°C or below) with a dedicated microfibre detergent - avoid fabric softeners as they clog the fibres and reduce absorbency. Do not tumble dry on high heat. Air dry or tumble on a cool, no-heat setting. Store in the supplied resealable zip bag once fully dry.
Can one towel dry an entire SUV or large bakkie?
The 1200 GSM SUV version is built for exactly this. Its higher water-holding capacity means you can work through more surface area before the towel is saturated. On a very wet vehicle you may need to wring it out halfway through, but it is designed to handle large formats without constant wringing.
How is the towel packaged and stored?
Each Micron XXL comes in a resealable zip-lock bag so the towel can be put away clean and kept free from dust, grit and product contamination between details. This is especially useful if the towel is stored in a boot, workshop or kitbag where loose contamination is common.
