Tool Maintenance
Keep your pads and cloths working like new
SM Micron Shampoo is engineered specifically for detailing accessories - not a repurposed laundry detergent. Its enzyme-enhanced formula strips out embedded compound, wax and polish residue that standard washing leaves behind, without the bleach or softeners that degrade microfibre over time.
Why SM Micron Shampoo

Not all cleaners respect the tools they clean.
-
Enzyme-Powered Clean
Enzymes break down deeply embedded polish, compound, wax and sealant residue that ordinary detergents miss.

Fibre-Safe Formula
No bleach, no fabric softeners - the polyamide in your microfibre stays intact wash after wash.
-
Dual Wash Method
Use it for hand washing in a bucket or load it into the machine - both methods are fully supported.
-
Extends Tool Life
Proper cleaning prevents fibre hardening and shedding, protecting your investment in quality cloths and pads.

Questions
Frequently asked
What can I clean with SM Micron Shampoo?
It is formulated for microfibre cloths, foam and microfibre polishing pads, car covers and wheel covers. Anything in your kit that accumulates polish, compound, wax, glaze or sealant residue during detailing work.
Can I use this in a washing machine?
Yes. SM Micron Shampoo is designed for both hand washing and machine washing. When machine washing, keep the temperature at a maximum of 30°C and the spin speed between 600 and 800 RPM to protect the polyamide component of the microfibre.
Why does the temperature matter when washing microfibre?
High temperatures break down the polyamide fibres in microfibre fabric. Polyamide is what gives microfibre its softness and its ability to trap and hold particles. Washing above 30°C gradually hardens the cloth and causes shedding, reducing its effectiveness over time.
Does SM Micron Shampoo contain fabric softener?
No. Fabric softeners coat microfibre strands and fill the tiny gaps that make them effective at picking up and holding contamination. SM Micron Shampoo is specifically free from fabric softeners and bleach to keep your cloths and pads performing correctly.
How does the enzyme formula help?
The enzymes in SM Micron Shampoo break down organic and product-based contamination embedded deep in the fibres - the kind of residue that a standard detergent leaves behind. This means pads come out properly clean rather than still loaded with old compound or polish.
Will this remove dried wax and sealant from polishing pads?
Yes. The formula is specifically listed as suitable for removing residue from polish, compound, wax, glaze and sealants. Heavily loaded pads may benefit from a soak before washing to loosen the bulk of the product first.
Can I use SM Micron Shampoo on foam polishing pads?
Yes, foam polishing pads are compatible. The gentle, bleach-free formulation will not break down foam cell structure the way harsh household detergents can. Allow pads to dry fully before use - foam pads used while still damp can affect compound or polish performance.
How does keeping cloths and pads clean affect detailing results?
A pad or cloth loaded with old product loses its ability to cut, finish or apply evenly. Contaminated microfibre can introduce swirl marks or streaks on paint that a clean cloth would never cause. Regular cleaning with SM Micron Shampoo keeps your tools performing consistently and extends their service life.
