You can not find in Russia cars where microfiber is not in a pocket or suitcase – a convenient and practical, inexpensive and functional cloth that can solve many problems in our weather and traffic situations. However, despite its popularity, not everyone knows how to use it. Moreover: an absolute minority. Details are on the AvtoVzglyad portal.

Many people own, but not many people know, that microfiber is not just a cheap colored cloth sold in a pack of three in hardware stores and auto stores. It is not customary to read instructions here – they will laugh – so we only use intuition, and everything there is simple: a rag – to rub. However, especially with microfiber, this sometimes leads to very sad consequences.

Yes, it does not leave streaks and dust hairs. Yes, it perfectly removes moisture and copes with fogged windows. Besides, it also removes the sweat from the face well and lasts for a long time, especially if you wash it regularly and don’t wipe oil stains with it. But microfiber also has its own characteristics that you should know.

First of all, it’s Wednesday. Microfiber is designed to remove moisture, so its main job is to collect liquid. Microfiber is a super towel that catches water. That is, you need to spread the fabric on a puddle and then pull it towards you to catch the liquid. Emphasis on the word “gathers”: hair should not be rubbed! This approach can easily scratch a thin coat of paint on a car, and sometimes very, very deep ones. Microfiber can’t be used to scrub bug and bird stains and marks, because then you’ll have to polish and paint. And a miracle cloth should always work “on the water”. That is, if you wipe the dust for her, you can easily wipe the family budget.

It is not worth rubbing the films and glasses with classic microfibres – scratches will appear on them very quickly, which will then be difficult to remove. If you remove the dirt from the headlights, especially in winter, you should not be surprised and curse the manufacturer – it was not he who rubbed the plastic to a matte state. It’s unlikely it will be possible to wipe the windshield to visible damage, but the plastic radiator grille, chrome nameplate or trim is simple. And it doesn’t take many “approaches” – one will be enough, but successful.

In short, microfiber is not as easy as it seems. This is a “complex” synthetic fabric, the pile of which is ten times thinner than a human hair. Microfibre is the case when you really need to study the instructions first and then apply it strictly in the areas indicated. By the way, the most popular myth about “fiber” is that it cannot be washed. Can! But only strictly according to the instructions, without washing powder and in cold water.
