- What's going on everybody?
Welcome to Chemical Guys Detail Garage.
Today we're going over the top five differences
in all of our microfiber towels and when to use them.

Now in front of us today we have
an assortment of our microfiber towels,
we're gonna start going over the
whole differences between them,
but one of our top tips is going to be
the color of our towels because one,
this is going to help us prevent any kind of
cross contamination because of the coordination.
Basically what we're trying to say here
is that we have towels designated for interior use
exterior uses as well as around the vehicle.
So for example, we would use our
green Workhorse Microfiber Towel for
jobs on the exteriors of vehicle,
we would use a blue towel for your glass
or a gray towel for your metal surfaces,
and yellow and tan for your interior services.
And again, this is just going to prevent
any kind of cross contamination of grease or oils
or dressings and things like that
from mixing to areas that they shouldn't be
and this is going to help keep your towels
looking their best for as long as possible,
whilst keeping your car looking its best
for as long as possible.
Now also the towels have differences in their edges.
We'll start with the happy ending towel
that has a laser cut edge.
This reduces the chances of adding any additional scratches
and swirls whilst giving you a perfect wipe off.
And then you have something like the silk banded edge,
which gives you a very elegant touch
to your microfibre towels.
This is very durable and holds up to a lot of abuse.
And then you have a stitch edge,
which is what we use on a majority of Workhorse Towels.
And this is just a very durable,
easy to use, easy to maintain,
and also an easy to manufacture towel.
And we use the Workhorse Microfiber Towels
around the vehicle because they do
a great job at doing multiple tasks.
And again, you can color coordinate them
to give you the perfect finish overall.
Now also we have different piles
of microfiber here in front of us.
Again, we'll start with our longer fiber
or what we call a plush pile.
You have this on the Sasquatch towels
as well as your Wolly Mammoth
or your happy ending which are very soft
and they have a longer cut pile.
This just ensures that it gently remove anything
off of the surface and it's going to
encapsulate in the towel and then as you wipe away
you're not going to be dragging it
but instead it's going to be trapped inside of towel
or inside of the fibers
and this reduces the chances of scratching the finish.
But then you also have towels such as
the dual sided or your Workhorse which have a shorter pile.
This is going to be great for wiping off certain things
and then this is going to help
buff off for a perfect finish.
And then you also have your dual sided
which is great for both worlds
where you have a wipe off side
and then also a buff off.
And what I mean by that is that
you can use this on your interior and exterior
whether you're wiping off quick detail sprays
or all purpose cleaners.
One side will pick up the product
and spent dirt and all that kind of stuff.
And then the other side you come back
and wipe away for a perfectly streak free finish.
Now our next tip is going to be
the design of the microfiber.
As I mentioned you have your traditional plush style
which basically looks like these dreads
or noodles on the microfiber towel.
But you also have waffle weave
which still made of the same 70-30 blend
as our microfiber towels,
but it's in a different configuration.
And these absorb a lot of water that
you typically get as you're washing the vehicle
and it traps inside of this waffle shape
and then it creates a new edge as you wipe.
This one has the same waffle design.
Now you can still get a great streak free finish
while using a microfiber towel but
what I recommend using is a towel such as the waffle weave,
to pick majority of your product or
say your washing your vehicle, majority of those drops
and then you can come back with
one of your favorite microfiber traditional style towels
to wipe off for that again perfect streak free finish.
Now another tip is using the right size towel for the job.
It wouldn't make sense to use a large drying towel
for wiping off a quick detail spray
or using on the interior of your vehicle.
This is where you'd reach for
one of your 16 by 16 microfiber towels.
This is going to give you more control
and also you can fold it and flip it to new edges
but this will be easier to use
around the vehicle when you're working with
small quantities of product whether you're using
a quick detail spray or your glass cleaner
or wiping off polishes.
But when you we need a large towel
you'd reach for something such as your waffle weave,
which is going to be a larger towel.
Most of these are 24 by 36.
Very large so you don't have to
wring out the towel or exchange towels
or flip the towel over.
This is just going to reduce the chances of
harming the vehicle but also this reduces the chances
or the need to grab another towel.
And then you can also use one of our favorite towels,
which is the woolly mammoth.
This has a combination of being very plush,
so it absorbs a lot of water.
It also has that silk banded edge
which reduces the chances of
inducing scratches and swirls as you're drying.
But also you can fold it and flip it
to different shapes and sizes,
whether you're working on windows
or you're working on the body of the vehicle
or you want to wipe off your wheels,
this is a great towel for that
while also leaving a streak free finish
without scratching the surface.
Now if you're working on something really large,
like a truck or an SUV or a boat or something like that,
where you need a very large towel.
We also have you covered on that
with this beautiful large white towel
that is also dual sided, so you have one side for wiping off
and then a shorter pile for buffing away
any of the streaks or any missed areas
but it's again got that same silk banded edge,
which reduces the chances of
scratching and swirling your paintwork.
This is going to give you the best finish overall,
no matter what kind of vehicle you're working on.
Now pro tip is to always wash
your towels using the right product
and that's going to be Microfiber Wash.
Just add an ounce of this to your wash process
whether you're using it on your drying towels,
your wash mitts, your polishing towels
or any kind of applicators.
This gently removes any kind of product
that's in the fibers of your microfiber goods,
whether it's your applicators,
your wash mitts or your towels.
And also you wanna use warm or hot water
to release the fibers or anything that stuck in the fibers,
and then always dry it on low heat or tumble dry,
or you can always traditionally air dry it.
This is just going to help you save your microfiber goods
so they can last and perform for as long
as possible without creating streaks
or any kind of swirls and scratches.
So guys, I know this is a pretty short video,
but this is just a quick overview
of all of our microfiber towels,
what they're used for, how to use them,
how to protect them and also
how to get the most longevity out of them.
