Why Cheap Microfiber Towels Can Ruin Your Paint
They may look soft. They may be cheap in bulk. But many microfiber towels are quietly wrecking your paint. If you’re getting swirl marks, haze, or scratches—your towels might be the real problem.
What Makes Cheap Microfiber So Dangerous?
Low-quality towels often use:
- ❌ Low GSM (grams per square meter) that don’t absorb properly
- ❌ Hard polyester blends that trap grit
- ❌ Stitched edges that drag across your clear coat
The Hidden Risks of Using Bargain Towels
- 😬 Swirl marks every time you dry or buff
- 😬 Streaks and lint on glass and trim
