Microfiber towels are made from a special blend of synthetic materials, including polyester and polyamide. These materials are highly absorbent and durable, making them ideal for use in car detailing. In addition to their excellent absorption capabilities, microfiber towels also offer excellent scratch resistance and resistance to chemicals and staining. Because of these properties, microfiber towels have become the preferred choice of detailers around the world. Microfibers come in different blends polyester and polyamide like 80/20 or 70/30. The different blends offer different properties that can be useful for different detailing tasks. One example is a detailer who wants to clean and protect plastic and rubber surfaces and might prefer a microfiber made with more polyester because it has more abrasive properties than one made with polyamide. Polyamide is more absorbent and much better for drying towels and washing towels as they can hold more water.
