Who better to teach our viewers about MICROFIBER than the co-owner of The Rag Company himself? Today, we give you a comprehensive look into the WORLD of microfiber!
Auto Detailing, Cleaning, Spa & Facial, Sport, Commercial Cleaning...And the list goes on. There isn't a task where Microfiber cannot replace a old cotton towel. Microfiber has changed the way we safely and effectively clean things. No more scratching a new paint job or streaky mess when you dry water. If it wasn't for microfiber, car enthusiasts would still be buying diapers to wipe down their car. But what microfiber is best? And are the cheaper microfibers just as good as the expensive ones? Co-Owner Jeff Hennen gives you some of the lesser known details on microfiber (like where it comes from) and how to choose the right towel for the job. This video should be helpful for anyone learning how to detail a car, or even the experience pro detailers that want to learn more about towels. Knowledge is key in any business, and microfiber towels are the best option in the cleaning industry.
Was this video helpful and informative? Let us (and Jeff) know if you want more videos like this!

Awesome episode! Great advice about using the towel you like. If I'm hearing you correctly - Don't harp on trying to find out which towel you "need" to buy for a task, but find out which towel you "like" to buy. Just use a quality towel and use it for whatever you like. It may take a little trial and error but that can be part of the fun. Plus, you can never have too many towels, hehe!

Several years ago, I ordered a variety of towels from the Rag Company and put my hands on several options for auto cleaning. I also picked up some from Amazon and I look for you as the vendor because I know the quality is top level and accurate. I also looked at Amazon basic towels and there is no GSM or any means to identify what you will get and the reviews are questionable indicating low quality.. The Junkman turned me onto your company as a vendor, and the OPT product line. I also use microfiber almost exclusively for home cleaning and janitorial service. The detailing videos also bring your company out of the dark as a supply company.

This was very informative. I’m pretty much sold on The Rag Company because of these videos. Any who is engaging their potential customers with no bs education and stands behind what they sell is what helps a person understand why you pay more. More quality & value instead of just name brand hype. You seem like down to earth solid guys. I’ll be ordering soon 🤘🏼

Dammit now I have to make room for more towels. Great video . As detailers , we tend to thrive obviously on details , not many other companies describe the towels like you do when shopping .

Good discussion guys! The size is spot on for the uses discussed. Also will SI02 stay in the towel and not wash out with a dedicated microfiber wash? Will it harden in the towel and destroy it and possibly destroy the paint?

I only use Pluffles for door jams , wheels etc , Eagles for all else , they simply are that good . Weaves are best used as utility towells instead of cheaper microfiber rags .

Any suggestions for a towel that's not going to be as 'grabby' on glass? Every time I clean the inside of the windshield I seem to have friction issues. Combine that with tight spaces and all and it's just a pain.

BTW, I've managed to find 100/0 microfiber towels in Malaysia. The exact design is very much soft and paint safe, but it seems to drag water more than it absorbs (though it still does), though in this part of the world liquids tend to dry FAST.

Can the Miner towel be used on surfaces other than metal without damaging the paint?

I really like the Pluffle. Only concern is if it gets overloaded with water it feels a little draggy on the surface. Like say you don't do a sheet rinse and that panel is flooded with water. The plushness of the towel gets matted down and the "thirst pockets" are really visible. I'm worried that matariel of the thirst pocket may scratch the paint. On the flip side of that, I did a sheet rinse and used detail as a drying aid and the Pluffle was a dream to use. Felt so soft and I didn't even wring the towel out, only used one on a My Transam.

Grest video. Interesting products. Regarding washing mf: Do you have any advice about what kinds of towels to avoid washing together with regards to the configuration of the towel itself, not so much what chemicals might be in it?

I've seen a few +Junkman2000 vids, he had a great series on some of his favorite TRC gear not to long ago that was great for someone like me that doesn't know microfiber. This vid is a great resource too. You guys really put out some quality material.
