Microfiber cleaning - United Bimmer Community

**CAPiTUL** · 05-28-2006, 12:03 AM

Saw this on a website:

Microfiber is an unsurpassed cleaning material Made of a revolutionary yarn that consists of microscopic, wedge-shaped polyester filaments, and a polyamide (nylon) core. These unique wedgeshaped filaments lift, and trap, dust particles, grease, waxes, and oily residues - meaning you only need to use with water to clean virtually any surface. This eliminates the need for cleaners and detergents. Just dampen the cloth to clean, or use dry to dust and polish. The polyamide (nylon) core of the fibers creates a "capillary action" that causes it to absorb quickly, and efficiently.

Now, has anybody tried cleaning with a microfiber towel and plain old water? I'd like to know how it worked, if you have.

It does work, we got some 3M microfiber washcloths for our wedding and they work really well. I have confiscated them for car stuff and so far the wifey hasn't noticed them gone.

I love and microfibers for everything, they are worth it totally. esp after a car wash, use and see for yourself.

But, can you wash your car with the microfiber and plain water? Is it true you dont need soap?

I would use the microfibers to dry the car instead of just washing. And for washing I always use stuff from the stores (car wash stuff).

I dry my car with microfiber that's why it's so shinny

Yeah ,I dry my car with microfibre. I dont think it would do a great job washing it. The wife used them around the house when they first became popular, to clean windows and other glass. After the first couple of cleanings, they dont do such a great job. And at around $3 a cloth, thats an expensive wash.But if you only use them to dry, then they should last a while.

I just bought 25 microfiber disposable cloths from Sam's Club for $10. I use them to dry my car and after I do any detail work to remove residual wax or clay.

Me also. I wonder if the microfiber is removing too much wax.
