Microfiber vs Cotton Cloth – Which Is Better for Car Cleaning?
Share
"Your car doesn’t deserve your old T-shirt"
If you’ve ever used your baniyan, towel, or that yellow cotton cloth to wipe down your car...
We’ve all been there
It feels convenient, but it’s killing your paint slowly
You wouldn’t wash your face with sandpaper, right?
Then why scrub your car with the wrong cloth?
You Could Be Scratching Your Car Every Time You Clean It
That innocent cotton cloth you’ve been using?
It’s actually rough, holds dust, and creates swirl marks, even when you don’t see them right away
Result?
Your car looks dull, patchy, and loses that glossy “new car” shine in weeks, not months
