- Hey what's up guys, Joey here with another episode
of "Chemical Guys Detail Garage."
Today I wanna go over microfiber towels.
Now, it can be overwhelming
when you see as many towels as we carry,
but I wanna go ahead and break down
why we carry so many towels, the different types of towels,
and what towel you would use for which purpose.
(intense music)
So like I was saying, you have different types of towels
which work out differently
on different occasions on your vehicle.
So today, I'm gonna go ahead and break down
why you would use these different types of towels
on these different parts of your vehicle
so that you maximize your efficiency,
possibly use less towels,
and just make the overall best use of 'em.
So the first towel that I wanna go over
is your standard drying towel.
My personal favorite is the Woolly Mammoth.
The Woolly Mammoth is a thick, ultra-plush microfiber towel
that does amazing at drying your vehicle,
and soaks up up to a whole gallon of water.
So imagine, a thick beast like this
drying the entire vehicle,
it'll do it in seconds. (snaps fingers)
So, the reason I like using this towel
and the reason I usually use a thicker more bigger towel
is because I see often people using small towels
to dry their vehicle,
and I see them doing so many parts of the vehicle,
they come back, they have to wring it out,
and that's just very inconvenient.
So with something like this, you have this thick towel
so that you don't have to go back and forth wringing it out.
So with one towel, you can simply dry your entire vehicle
without having to worry about that,
and not have to worry about any kind of extra towels
that you have to wash, carry with you, have in your car,
and making it a burden to carry around.
With the Woolly Mammoth, we have this super-soft surface
that's gonna go ahead and just glide
over the paint of your vehicle
without causing any scratching, swirls.
So, having this nice, thick ply of microfiber
is definitely gonna help you out in the long run
so that you're not installing any scratches or swirls,
especially if you're not using the two-bucket method
and there's a potential that there's still dirt
and grime left over on your vehicle.
So having a nice soft and plush towel
is gonna help those microfibers kinda grab any kind of grime
that's still on the paint,
and pick up all that water that's on there
so that you have a nice squeaky-clean finish.
Another key feature
is that you have a nice silk-lined edging
all around the towel.
This silk-lined edging pretty much helps you out
so that the edges, when you're drying your towels,
they don't ever get heated up and burnt up
and makes them hard,
which could potentially scratch your vehicle.
Also, it's a nice soft material.
So, just like the towel itself,
the edgings are extremely soft
so it's just gonna glide over your paint
without harming the paint,
and without scratching or swirling.
So next on the list we have your finishing towels.
And what's a detail without a happy ending?
So, that's why I love using the Happy Ending towels
for that nice finishing touch,
that cherry on top after your entire detail,
to go ahead and use with any kind of quick detail sprays,
spray waxes, anything that's instant.
So, something that you can spray on the car
and wipe it right off with a nice soft microfiber towel.
Another reason I like these Happy Ending towels
is because they don't have any edgings,
which means that when you're wiping your car down,
if you have any light dust, debris, as far as a maintenance,
if you're using it with a quick detailer
such as Speed Wipe, or synthetic,
then it's not gonna pick up any grime along the edges
which can potentially drag over the paint
and scratch up your paint work.
So therefore, that makes it great for
using it with a quick detail spray,
having that nice final wipe-down
and buffing off any excess wax
or sealants that are on the paint.
Last of which you have these Happy Ending towels
that come in a variety of colors.
You have green, you have blue,
you have purple, black, and red, I believe.
So that gives you a nice spectrum to kinda work with,
so if you have that nice color vehicle
and you wanna have those nice towels
to go along with it, now you know.
Our next type of towel is our waffle weave material.
So the waffle weave, it's a microfiber towel,
it's just woven differently.
So this one kinda has the strands a little bit more tight
so it does a great job at soaking up water in smaller areas,
and it does great for cleaning glass.
The reason it does great on cleaning glass
is because the surface of the towel
has a nice waffle-like texture, which pretty much means
that instead of using a soft microfiber towel
to clean your glass,
all that grime is gonna kinda get accumulated
on one border of your towel,
instead of with this one, you have all these funnels
that kinda filter the dirt and grime
that you're wiping on your glass,
so it allows it to kind of fall
into the pores of the waffle texture
so that you're not constantly wiping
around that ugly, streaky kinda look
towards the finish of your glass-cleaning process.
One thing I did forget to mention is your tag.
You wanna make sure that you remove these tags
because this can also be another thing
that can potentially be a factor
for scratching and swirling.
So always make sure, pro tip, take off your tags
before using a brand-new microfiber towel,
or if you haven't done so already, make sure to do so.
All you wanna do is simply get it at an angle,
(fabric rips)
pull it right off, and you're good to go.
And the last towel is your classic Workhorse towel.
Now, this towel right here is perfect for all occasions,
and we carry them in a variety of colors.
This yellow one here that I'm holding
is actually meant for interior.
This is just a color guide.
This does not mean that you have to follow this,
but this, for us, is just kind of to help us know
which towel is used for what.
Like I said, the yellow ones are used for interior.
We have brown for leather, you have black for your wheels,
green for your paint, blue for your glass,
and gray for metal.
And the reason we do it this way is so that,
here in the shop, we have tons of people
that use the towels,
and this just kinda gives us all a general understanding
of what towel is being used for which.
So, one prime example is,
you never want to use a black towel to wipe down your paint.
Why, because the black towels
are dedicated for wheels and tires.
As you can imagine, on your wheels,
you're working with a lot more contaminated,
a lot more contaminants, such as brake dust, debris,
grime, oils, filth that get onto those black towels,
and you definitely don't wanna wipe that onto your paint.
So, with this yellow towel, this just helps me see
and understand that this is meant for interior.
With these yellow towels, it makes it ideal
to use it with an interior quick detailer product
such as Inner Clean or Total Interior.
You can utilize those products with this towel
to clean your interior, to give it a quick wipe-down,
pick up any dirt, grime, or body oils,
so that you're not there all day scrubbing with the brush,
and giving it more of a maintenance
kind of routine wipe-down.
All right, so now that I've wrapped up
all the different types of towels,
I do wanna mention one thing.
And that is to keep your towels separated.
You don't wanna cross-contaminate your towels
because, you don't wanna use,
or you don't wanna wash your wheel-cleaning towels
with your drying towels because all that grime
could potentially get onto your drying towel,
and whenever you're drying your vehicle,
that could potentially be a factor
for scratching and swirling.
So we always recommend washing them in different loads,
or separating them in different categories,
such as less filthy, super filthy,
and not so filthy, or not filthy at all.
Just separate 'em, have a factor,
or kinda have an idea of what you're washing with what
because the last thing you wanna do
is wash the towel that you dropped on the floor
and dragged all over the floor
with the brand-new drying towel that you just picked up.
So, keep them separated, wash them separated,
have an idea on how you're gonna do it,
and you should be good,
and your towels should have multiple uses to come.
One last thing that I do wanna leave you guys with
is a pro tip, and that is,
wash your towels with MicroFiber Wash.
MicroFiber Wash, it's a specialty microfiber detergent
that's citrus-based and hyper-concentrated,
which is gonna go ahead and break down any kinda waxes,
sealants, glazes, and any type of oils
that are still remaining in your towels,
so you don't make the mistake of washing your towels
with a cheap detergent
which is gonna go ahead and dry out your microfiber towels,
or cause them to get hard and very rough.
So, that's what you don't want.
You don't want to spend money on all these microfiber towels
and wash them with the wrong product
and render them all useless.
So use a product that's gonna work out
for you and all your towels.
MicroFiber Wash, look into it.
