Full Description

CarPro MFX is a detergent made to restore microfibre towels and polishing pads. It removes the oils, waxes, dirt and light stains that build up in the fibres, bringing back the absorbency of drying towels and the performance of buffing cloths.

Microfibre is made of polyester, which absorbs oils, and polyamide, which absorbs water. Once the fibres are coated in wax or sealant oils they push water around instead of absorbing it, and MFX removes that build-up. Use it in the washing machine or as a soak for pads. Sizes: 500ml, 1L and 4L.

Expert Notes

A drying towel that smears water usually has build-up in the fibres. CarPro explains that oils, surfactants and rinse-aid products collect over time and stop the towel absorbing, and a wash with MFX strips that out.

MFX also cleans polishing pads, so one bottle looks after both the towels and the pads in a detailing kit.

CarPro US makes MFX to restore microfibre performance time and again where common detergents fall short, and lists an antistatic effect among its features.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Microfibre towels
  • Drying towels
  • Buffing cloths
  • Polishing pads

Caution: Wash microfibres on a gentle or synthetics cycle at 40 to 60°C.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much MFX do I use in the washing machine?

CarPro says add 50ml to the detergent drawer and wash on a gentle or synthetics cycle at 40 to 60°C.

Can MFX clean polishing pads?

Yes. Mix 50ml with 10 litres of water (1:200), soak the pads for at least 1 hour, then squeeze out and rinse.

Why do microfibre towels stop absorbing water?

Oils from wax and sealants, surfactants and rinse-aid products build up in the fibres. MFX removes that build-up to restore absorbency.

Can I use MFX in a pad cleaning bucket?

Yes. Add 30ml of MFX, fill to the fill line and follow the bucket instructions.

What sizes does MFX come in?

500ml, 1L and 4L.

Can I hand wash microfibre towels with MFX?

Yes. CarPro US adds MFX to a bucket of water, soaks the towels or pads for at least 1 hour, then rinses them thoroughly.

HQ Suggests Tips & Insights

  1. Wash drying towels with MFX when they start pushing water around instead of absorbing it.
  2. Soak polishing pads for at least an hour before rinsing.
  3. Scrub pads with a pad brush after soaking for extra cleaning.
  4. For a quick pad clean, CarPro US dilutes MFX 1:10 in a spray bottle.
  5. Adjust the machine dose to the load size, as CarPro US does.
  6. Use MFX instead of a household detergent for microfibre.
  7. Agitate pads as needed while you rinse them.

The Brand

CarPro

CarPro is the car care brand behind CQUARTZ, one of the ceramic coatings that brought nano-protection from professional detailing studios to everyday enthusiasts. Founded in 2009 by car enthusiasts, CarPro develops and makes its products in its own laboratory and factory, and it has grown from a single coating into a complete system for paint, glass, wheels, tyres, plastics, leather and fabric.

The range is built to work together. The shampoos and snow foams clean a coated car without leaving gloss enhancers or silicones that would mask the coating, and the compounds and polishes are body shop safe, with no fillers to hide defects. The same products suit a first-time coating at home and the upkeep of a professional CQUARTZ installation.

At The Drivers HQ we stock the CarPro products our customers use most, from Reset shampoo and IronX fallout remover to the CQ UK 3.0 coating, with much of the range on the shelf at our Ilkeston shop.

The CarPro range: prepare, protect, maintain

CarPro organises its products around the order you work on a car, which makes it easy to build a kit that suits your car and the time you have.

Prepare. Clean and decontaminate first. Lift is a concentrated pre-wash snow foam, IronX dissolves iron fallout with an acid-free, pH-balanced formula and turns purple-red as it works, and TRIX removes iron and tar in one go. For paint correction, ClearCut takes out scratches as deep as P1000, Fixer cuts and finishes in a single step, and Reflect refines the finish before a coating. Eraser then removes polishing oils so the coating can bond.

Protect. CQ UK 3.0 is CarPro's consumer ceramic coating: 70% SiO2, applied from 3 to 40°C and rated for 18 to 24 months. There are dedicated coatings for film and plastic trim (CQUARTZ Skin), glass (GForce, built on CarPro's DQUARTZ nano-diamond technology) and leather (CQuartz Leather 2.0), plus quicker options such as HydrO2, a spray-on, rinse-off silica sealant rated for up to 6 months.

Maintain. Reset is the pH-neutral shampoo made for coated cars and dilutes 1:500. Hydro Foam washes and leaves a silica layer in one step, ECH2O is a waterless wash and quick detailer, and MFX restores the absorbency of your microfibre towels.

Shop CarPro by type: ceramic coatings, snow foam, iron and fallout removers, compounds and polishes, paint sealants and glass coatings.

Where to start with CarPro

New to CarPro? Start with the products that make the biggest difference to a normal wash: Reset, Lift and a pair of Dilute bottles, which have printed ratios from 1:1 to 1:30 so every concentrate is mixed correctly. WheelX is the CarPro product our customers buy most often: a ready-to-use wheel cleaner that is safe on coated, chrome and powder-coated wheels.

Ready to protect your paint? Work in this order:

  • Wash with Lift and Reset, then remove iron fallout with IronX.
  • Polish if the paint needs it, from ClearCut for deeper marks to Reflect for a final finish.
  • Wipe each panel with Eraser and apply CQ UK 3.0 one panel at a time.
  • Keep the coating at its best with Reset and a top-up of HydrO2 or Hydro Foam every few months.

For tyres and trim, DarkSide and Perl are the favourites: Perl dilutes up to 5:1, from a rich finish on tyres to a satin look on plastics, and ReTyre cleans tyres and rubber before you dress them.
