Detail Popo 500 GSM Towels

40x40 cm 500 gsm ultra soft low lint zero scratch 70/30 blend microfiber towel.

Microfiber towels are composed of 2 polymers, polyester and polyamide. Polyester is the foundation of the towels, it provides the majority of its tensile strength, chemical/mildew-resistant properties, and polyamide provides the softness and absorbency of the towel. These towels are manufactured with 70% polymer and 30% polyamide blend. Gram per square meter (GSM) is the standard weight unit used in the textile industry, indicating how heavy the specific blend of towels is. A higher GSM does not mean it’s better, it is simply an indication of weight. For example, when wiping off polish and waxes, it’s best to use a sub 350gsm towel, as there’s no need for the extra weight of the 600+gsm. The thickness of the towel does not aid in the removal of polish, considering if the length of the pile is the same between 350 and 600gsm. The thickness or the weight of the towel comes in handy when drying or absorbing liquids. 500gsm is preferred when using a spray and wipe waterless wash, the extra 150gsm helps in absorbing the excess liquid from the waterless wash, whereas in general, 350gsm is optimum when buffing off waxes, polishes and the use of detailing sprays.

Machine wash towels prior to using helps remove loose lint and/or dust from shipping.
