FX PROTECT Steel Grey is a hybrid-weave microfibre towel at 350 g/m², designed for drying and applying wax and Quick Detailer on painted surfaces. The towel combines a fluffy structure with waffle pockets, providing both high absorbency and the softness required for careful application. More options are available via microfibre towels in our range.

The steel grey colour makes it easy to see white product residue during work, making it easier to check surface cleanliness. Seamless, laser-cut edges reduce the risk of scratching the paintwork, whether the towel is used dry or wet.

The 40x40 cm size allows for a folding technique giving eight clean surfaces per towel, extending usage time between washes. The blend of polyester and polyamide provides a durable construction that withstands repeated wash cycles without losing softness or absorbency.

When does FX PROTECT Steel Grey make the most sense?

FX PROTECT Steel Grey makes the most sense when drying paintwork after washing and when applying wax, Sealant and Quick Detailer. The hybrid weave's combination of a fluffy surface and waffle pockets makes the towel just as useful for quickly soaking up large amounts of water as for spreading product evenly over a panel.

It also works well for Buffing off product residue after Ceramic Coating, as the soft surface minimises the risk of scratching a freshly applied coating.

Applications for FX PROTECT Steel Grey

• Drying paintwork after washing and degreasing

• Drying glass, chrome and plastic trim

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is the FX PROTECT Steel Grey microfibre towel suitable for use on matte paint or vinyl wraps?

Yes, FX PROTECT Steel Grey is safe to use on matte paint, gloss paint, vinyl wraps, glass and plastic. The soft hybrid weave's seamless edges reduce the risk of scratching regardless of surface finish, but we always recommend testing on a small area first if unsure.

How many wash cycles can the FX PROTECT Steel Grey microfibre towel withstand before performance declines?

FX PROTECT Steel Grey is designed to withstand many wash cycles thanks to its blend of 70% polyester and 30% polyamide. The towel should be machine washed with a mild detergent without fabric softener and dried on low heat or air-dried to preserve absorbency and softness for longer.

What sets FX PROTECT Steel Grey apart from other hybrid-weave microfibre towels?

FX PROTECT Steel Grey stands out through its combination of a fluffy surface and integrated waffle pockets in the same towel, providing both rapid liquid absorption and the precision required for product application. The microfibre is manufactured in South Korea, contributing to consistent quality in fibre length and thickness compared with many standard weaves.
