PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Introduction 

The problem with 99% of towels is that they drag over your paint any microscopic dirt you didn’t rinse away. In this case, you’re not drying; you’re potentially microscratching. This is why the  SONAX microfibre drying cloth plus is a fundamental revolution with its twisted loop technology. Instead of just soaking dirt and water, its looping fingers actively grab droplets of water, plucking them off the surface and pulling them deep into the towel’s core. 

What The Product Does 

The Sonax microfibre drying cloth plus is a detailing tool designed for fast, paint-friendly, streak-free, and smear-free drying of vehicle exteriors. Its ultra-light 460-600 GSM construction and oversized design make it perfect for cars, motorcycles, RVs, and boats. Ideal for detailing professionals and car enthusiasts alike.

Benefits vs Technical Features

Benefits 

  • It is Scratch Guard: The rounded and hemmed edges in this drying cloth aren’t an afterthought. They ensure there’s no harsh seam to catch and drag against your clear coat. The loops themselves cradle the paint, lifting water away without friction.
  • Highly Effective for Removing Water: A common reason to use this drying cloth is that it is much more effective at soaking up water than other towel materials like cotton. Not only can it absorb seven times its weight in water, but at 80x50cm it offers a larger surface coverage area than a regular drying cloth.
  • It’s Durable and Long Lasting: Unlike regular towel materials that can rip, wear, and start to fray, this cloth is designed to be durable and long-lasting. This means you spend less money replacing towels, allowing you to reduce the price of your services or spend extra dollars on improving your car wash.
  • It Increases Productivity: This drying cloth helps you save time since unlike cotton towels, this microfiber car drying cloth doesn’t need to be wrung out after each use. It allows you to focus on other important aspects of your car cleaning process rather than being stuck drying your car. 
  • It Ensures a Pristine Finish: Unlike cotton drying towels that often leave streaks and hardened debris, this drying cloth ensures that your car looks brand new, without any blemishes, streaks, or marks. It is the most convenient drying option for cars in the UAE, where shine and gloss are the standard. 
  • It Attracts Dirt and Grease: This drying cloth is not only designed to remove excess water, but it also wipes away any dirt or grease that was left behind after a wash. This is vital because even the most thorough manual and automated washes leave behind dirt, especially with cars in the UAE. 

Technical Features

  • Twisted Loop Fiber Technology: This drying cloth adopts a twisted loop design with fingers that create strong capillary forces to suck in and hold water. The final result is a microbead-free finish with no dirt. 
  • High-Volume Absorption: Even though this dry cloth is lightweight, it absorbs 10 times its mass when in action. It makes your car washing process a breeze. 
  • Safe on Paint: You can use this dry cloth on any kind of paint surface. As long as you don’t apply pressure, it guarantees a scratch-free result. 
  • Versatile Application: This drying cloth serves multiple surfaces whether it is aluminum, metal, plastic, rubber, glass, or stainless steel.
  • Re-usable and Re-washable: It is machine-washable at 60°C, but requires immediate drying. 

How to Use

Follow these easy rituals. 
  1. The Flood Rinse: After your final wash rinse, remove the nozzle from your hose. Let a gentle sheet of water flow over the car. This “sheeting” method pulls a huge amount of water off the paint by itself.
  2. The Fold: Lay the towel flat and fold it in half. This gives you two clean, thick surfaces to work with.
  3. The Glide, Don’t Wipe: Never apply pressure. Unfold gently and lay it on a wet panel. Slowly drag the towel towards you, letting its own weight and the loops do the work. You’ll hear a satisfying soft squeak as it inhales the water.
  4. Flip and Conquer: After a panel or two, flip to a dry surface. The towel’s capacity is vast, but you may need to wring out water once or twice to clean a car.
  5. The Maintenance: After you finish detailing, wash the towel with water at 60°C.

FAQ

No. You should not dry the clothes in the hot UAE. That's because extreme heat can melt the fibres of the cloth making it rough and rigid.

The best time to wash your drying cloth is immediately after use. This prevents contaminants from sticking to the surface, leading to scratches when you use it again.

It is best to use a "free and clear" liquid detergent (no dyes, scents, or softeners) or a dedicated microfiber soap.
