Full Description

The Sam’s Detailing Microfibre Wash 500ml is a dedicated detergent formulated specifically for cleaning microfibre towels, applicators and polishing pads. Unlike standard household laundry detergents or fabric softeners, this specialist formula is free from additives that can clog fibres or leave residues, ensuring microfibres remain absorbent, soft and effective wash after wash.

Its advanced cleaning agents break down detailing contaminants such as waxes, sealants, polishing oils and dirt, restoring towels and pads to peak performance. By preserving the structure of the fibres, Microfibre Wash extends the life of your detailing textiles and ensures consistent results when drying, buffing, or applying products.

Technical Features:

  • Type: Specialist microfibre and pad detergent
  • Bottle Size: 500ml
  • Formula: Additive-free, residue-free, safe for delicate fibres
  • Cleaning Action: Removes wax, sealant, compound and polish residues
  • Compatibility: Safe for all microfibre towels, applicators and polishing pads

Applications:

  • Washing drying towels, buffing cloths and applicators
  • Restoring polishing pads clogged with polish or compound
  • Safe for both machine and hand washing
  • Suitable for professional and home use

Benefits:

  • Maintains softness, absorbency and performance of microfibres
  • Extends the usable life of towels and pads
  • Removes stubborn residues that normal detergents leave behind
  • Prevents clogging, streaking and reduced absorption
  • Professional-grade solution trusted by detailers
  • HQ Suggests (Tips & Insights):
  • 💡 Wash microfibres separately from general laundry to avoid lint transfer and contamination.
  • 💡 Use 30-40ml of Microfibre Wash per machine load; adjust depending on towel quantity and soiling.
  • 💡 Wash on a low to medium temperature cycle (30-40°C) and avoid fabric softeners at all times.
  • 💡 Air dry or tumble dry on low heat only, high heat can damage fibres.
  • 💡 For heavily soiled pads, pre-soak in warm water with a small amount of product before machine washing.

Sam’s Detailing Microfibre Wash 500ml is part of our range at the Ilkeston Detailing Store, with expert advice on towel and pad care. We also offer fast, reliable UK-wide delivery so enthusiasts and professionals can keep their detailing textiles performing at their best.

  1. Separate heavily soiled microfibres from lightly used ones.
  2. Add the amount on the bottle to the drum.

  2. Keep them away from lint and dust.

The Brand

The products our customers ask for most are Snow Foam, Shampoo, Ceramic Boost, Ceramic Foam and the Drying Towel.

Sam's Detailing products by job

Pre-wash and wash. Snow Foam goes on a dry car: about 100ml in the foam lance bottle, topped up with warm water, left to dwell for around 10 minutes without drying on the paint. It is slightly alkaline neat and pH-neutral once diluted, when it is safe on wax, sealants and ceramic coatings. Shampoo is a slick, pH-neutral shampoo for the two-bucket method, one or two squeezes in the wash bucket. Citrus Pre-Wash and Insect Remover loosen grime before the contact wash, and the Lambswool Wash Mitt and Microfibre Wash Mitt do the washing.

Wheels and tyres. Wheel & Tyre Cleaner is ready to use, acid-free and high-foaming, and it turns from green to brown as it breaks the grime down. Sam's does not recommend it on chrome alloys: use Wheel Soap on those. The Flexi Alloy Brush, Mini Flexi Alloy Brush, Tyre Brush and Wheel Arch Brush reach the barrels, spokes, sidewalls and arches, and Tyre Shine leaves the sidewalls with a glossy wet look, wetter still with a second coat.

Decontamination. Iron Fallout Reactor and Tar & Glue Remover lift what a wash leaves behind, then the Clay Bar with Clay Lubricant, or the Clay Mitt, leaves the paint smooth.

Polish and protection. Glaze, 3 in 1 Polish and Scratch Remover are worked by hand. Ceramic Boost and Ceramic Foam add protection as part of the wash (see the next tab), Signature Paste Wax and Ceramic Wax are applied by hand, and Exterior Detailer tops up the gloss between washes. Wrap Detailer is made for matt wraps and leaves an even finish with up to a month of protection.

Drying. The Drying Towel is a 600gsm, 28 x 36 inch twisted-loop towel. Let its weight do the work instead of pressing, wash it by hand or in the machine, and always let it dry naturally, never in a tumble dryer. Microfibre Wash keeps towels and cloths absorbent.

Interior and trim. Interior Detailer, Leather Cleaner and Leather Protectant, Fabric Cleaner and Fabric Protectant cover the cabin. Rubber & Trim Dressing is water-based and gives interior and exterior plastics and rubber a deep matt finish. The Signature and Vanilla air fresheners finish the job.

Kits and bigger sizes. The Starter Kit, Sample Kit and Detailing Bag Kit put a set together, and the Expert Range comes in bigger bottles: Snow Foam 4L, Ceramic Boost 4L, Wheel Cleaner 4L and Shampoo 2.5L.

Shop Sam's Detailing by type: snow foam, car shampoo, wheel cleaners, wheel brushes, ceramic foams, drying towels and tyre dressing.

Ceramic Boost or Ceramic Foam?

Both add a water-beading layer as the last step of a wash, and Sam's rates both at up to three months of protection. You only need one of them.

  • Ceramic Boost is a spray-on, rinse-off protector for paint, windows and wheels. After shampooing and rinsing, spray two or three squirts onto a wet panel and rinse it off straight away.
  • Ceramic Foam goes through a foam lance: 50ml with 200ml of water for one application, or 200ml topped up to a litre to keep for later. Cover the washed car, rinse it off at once and dry it. In a pump foam bottle, use 25ml instead of 50ml.

The protection can last up to three months, but Sam's recommends Ceramic Foam about once a month to keep it topped up. Ceramic Boost on top of Ceramic Foam adds nothing, because the foam already carries enough protection.

With either one, test a small hidden area first, keep off hot panels and direct sun, and never let the product dry on the car: over-applied or dried product leaves marks that need an IPA wipe to remove. Store both at 5°C or above. Dry the car with the Drying Towel afterwards. For frequent use, Ceramic Boost also comes in a 4L Expert Range size.
