FX PROTECT Steel Grey is a 350 g/m² microfibre towel with a hybrid weave that combines a fluffy surface with waffle pockets. The construction gives the towel good absorbency when drying, while remaining soft enough for applying wax and Quick Detailer. The 40x40 cm size means the towel can be folded to provide eight clean surfaces per session.

The towel is made from a blend of 70% polyester and 30% polyamide, which contributes to high durability through repeated wash cycles. The laser-cut edges are seamless and reduce the risk of paint scratches during use. The steel grey colour makes it easier to spot white product residue when checking surface cleanliness.

When does FX PROTECT Steel Grey make the most sense?

The towel shows its strengths in both dry and wet use, making it a tool for several steps within the same detailing session. The fluffy texture picks up dust and dirt when drying, while the waffle pockets store excess liquid quickly without the towel becoming heavy to handle. When applying Coating, Sealant or wax, the soft surface provides even spreading without scratching the paint.

• Drying paintwork, glass and plastic after washing

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is the FX PROTECT Steel Grey towel suitable for rubbing or heavy cutting with Compound?

No, the FX PROTECT Steel Grey is a fluffy microfibre towel with a hybrid weave designed for drying and applying wax, Sealant and Quick Detailer, not for Compound work. That type of work instead requires a Foam pad or Wool pad fitted to a DA polisher or Rotary polisher. However, the FX PROTECT towel is well suited to wiping away residue after polishing work.

How should the FX PROTECT Steel Grey towel be washed to maintain its absorbency?

FX PROTECT recommends machine washing with a mild detergent without fabric softener, followed by drying on low heat or air-drying. Proper care allows the microfibre towel to withstand many wash cycles without losing softness or absorbency, which is relevant for both professionals and private users.

What sets the FX PROTECT Steel Grey apart from other drying microfibre towels?

The difference lies in the construction of the hybrid weave, where a fluffy surface is combined with waffle pockets for faster liquid absorption, together with the 350 g/m² weight and seamless laser-cut edges. FX PROTECT manufactures the towel from South Korean microfibre in a blend of 70% polyester and 30% polyamide, which contributes to a long lifespan compared with simpler single-weave towels. The 40x40 cm size also means the FX PROTECT Steel Grey can be folded to provide several clean surfaces per towel.
