PERFECT DETAIL SPRAY POLISH

Q. Is there a safe, biodegradable product available to clean my vehicle?

A. Yes! PERFECT DETAIL is water soluble, biodegradable and non-toxic.

Q. Will PERFECT DETAIL harm the finish on my vehicle?

A. No. PERFECT DETAIL is built for the finest of vehicle finishes.  It will help protect your finish, improve the showroom shine, add depth to the surface and fight the damaging effects of UV rays. Repeated applications can produce such a deep shine that everyone will be stopping you to ask how you got that look.

Q. How much PERFECT DETAIL does it take to clean a car?

A. It only takes a couple of ounces to clean the average size car.  Around 12 to 14 ounces to clean a 40’ motorhome.  You mist it on then wipe off spreading it over the area you sprayed with PERFECT DETAIL.

Q. Can PERFECT DETAIL be applied directly to the dirty surface of my vehicle without scratching?

A. Yes, PERFECT DETAIL contains a cleaner can will remove light dirt, dust, bugs etc. but use a microfiber cloth to wipe the surface dry. If a surface contains more than light dirt or dust you can spray on heaver and remove with a microfiber cloth.  ANOTHER METHOD OF USE is to pour 2 to 3 ounces per gallon of water and wash an area using a microfiber cloth then dry the area with another microfiber, NO RINSING REQUIRED!  You can remove much heaver dirt this way and still get the great shine and protection.

Q. How does PERFECT DETAIL compare to other detailers and waterless washes?

A. It actually exceeds all other known detail sprays and waterless washes in its features and benefits.

A1. PERFECT DETAIL requires only 2 ounces to clean, shine and protect an average size car.  All other brands require around 5 to 6 ounces.

A2. PERFECT DETAIL can be applied in the direct sun.  Only one or two other brands can do this.

A3. PERFECT DETAIL provides true surface protection, lasting 2 to 3 months.  Most others offer no protection and the few that do put in a wax that is good for only a few days and still not offering the strength of protection we do, even during that short time period.

A4. PERFECT DETAIL works absolutely great on glass!  99.9% of other detailer products will tell you to not apply it to glass because of smearing or streaking.  That is caused by the silicone and/or petroleum distillates they use.

A5. PERFECT DETAIL is the only product that contains lubricants that bond to dirt particles preventing them from scratching the surface.

A6. PERFECT DETAIL is the only detailer or waterless wash product that you can pour 2 to 3 ounces per gallon of water and wash the dirtiest surface without scratching, without rinsing and provide our famous shine with true surface protection!

A7. PERFECT DETAIL removes bugs as good as or better than any know bug remover except our Bug Melt.  Most detail sprays do little or nothing to remove bugs.

A8. PERFECT DETAIL offers amazing gloss, far exceeding other detail sprays.

A9. PERFECT DETAIL offers such a slippery surface without silicone, that it resists things sticking to it such as bugs,         fingerprints, smudges, smears etc.  Bugs etc. can be easily wiped off with a damp cloth.

A10. PERFECT DETAIL has true UV protection that lasts the life of the product, 2 to 3 months.  Almost all other   brands don’t offer UV protection.  The few that do use an additive that has a life of around 24 hours since the additive is similar to the UV protection you apply to your skin.

A11. PERFECT DETAIL contains a strong anti-static protection.  Most other detailers don’t offer this at all and the few that do use a short lived anti-static add in that lasts from a few days to a week.             

A12. PERFECT DETAIL is the easiest to apply and remove.  Just mist lightly on and wipe off with a microfiber cloth.         The hard rubbing associated with other brands is not required with us.

Q. Does PERFECT DETAIL offer protection?

A. Yes, it contains polymer polishes that offer 2 to 3 months of solid protection against the environment. Most all detail sprays offer no protection. The few that due, usually provide only a few days to a week.

Q. Can PERFECT DETAIL clean and polish chrome?

A. Yes. PERFECT DETAIL can make chrome look absolutely beautiful, keeping it clean longer than other products.  It is in fact the safest product to use since chrome today is very soft and scratches quite easy.  Bug removal is a snap.

Q. Can PERFECT DETAIL clean glass?

A. It works absolutely great on glass, streak free in fact!  It is safe for tinted windows because there is no ammonia in it. As well, it resists hard water spots from bonding to the surface, allowing bugs etc. to come off easier and make the glass crystal clear.  There is no better glass product available.

Q. Does PERFECT DETAIL repel water?

A. PERFECT DETAIL is great for beading water off a surface.

Q. Does PERFECT DETAIL have anti-static in it?

A. Yes. It contains strong, long lasting anti-static properties.

Q. Can PERFECT DETAIL be used on the inside of my vehicle?

A. Yes, you should use PERFECT DETAIL on the inside glass to clean off the film that get on the surface. It is great for the plastic on the dash gage panel and rear view mirror. It will not harm the finest of leather or vinyl but is not a leather or vinyl treatment.  There is never any greasy oily feel to PERFECT DETAIL.

Q. Can PERFECT DETAIL be used on RV?

A. Yes.  It is perhaps the best single product to use everywhere in and on an RV.  Use all over the outside to maintain that great finish and shine in less time that other products, clean the windows streak free.  For the inside it can be used everywhere.  Windows, mirrors, cabinets, counter tops, stainless steel surfaces, TV screens, showers, appliances, bath stools.  Just everywhere on any hard surface.  It will outperform all other products in those areas.  There is no further need to have a cupboard of cleaning products.

Q. Can I use PERFECT DETAIL inside the house?

A. Yes. PERFECT DETAIL is the best there is for windows, mirrors, kitchen and bath cabinets, appliances and other hard surfaces.  You will clean windows and mirrors STREAT FREE!  If you have stainless steel appliances PERFECT DETAIL is a must to eliminate the fingerprinting and bring out the beauty of stainless.  It also prevents stainless discoloration.  Counter tops especially the softer acrylic type, marble, granite, Formica are great uses.  It will cut down on the wear of softer acrylic counter tops.  Bathroom fixtures, ceramic tile, computer or TV screens, fish tanks, musical instruments etc. are excellent applications.  It makes surfaces very smooth, so you must be careful not to use it where you walk.

Q. Can I use PERFECT DETAIL on my motorcycle windshield?

A. Absolutely. PERFECT DETAIL will give you much better visibility, and also protect your windshield from bugs and debris sticking hard. There is no ammonia, no buildup and no discoloration. Never put Windex,    rain-x, paper towels, rags or the junk available at the gas stations on your windshield, because you can ruin it.  PERFECT DETAIL is safe on coated and non-coated windshields offering more protection than any other single product.

Q. Will PERFECT DETAIL hurt any engine parts?

A. No, it is the best engine detailer you can get. No powdery residue and it stays on to over 450 degrees. Great for the chrome heads and pips of motorcycles.

Q. How long will it last?

A. Because of the premium polymer polish in PERFECT DETAIL, it lasts 2 to 3 months. The sun does not cook PERFECT DETAIL off the finish like wax which can last as little as a few days.

Q. Will PERFECT DETAIL clean and polish aluminum?

A. Yes and No. It will clean dirt off but not oxidation. It is an excellent sealer for aluminum against oxidation and water spots bonding on.  It also protects stainless steel against fingerprinting and discoloration. 

 

SHOW TIRE PROTECTIVE DRESSING

 

Q. Does SHOW TIRE PROTECTIVE DRESSING really protect?

A. Yes.  In fact it may be the only tire dressing that actually protects against the environment and road chemicals.

Q. How does it protect when other products don’t?

A. SHOW TIRE is made with highly protective polymers designed to penetrate in the surface of the sidewall and bond on the outside as well.  It contains a heavy duty UV and Ozone protection long with a great anti-static treatment.  The product is water based, producing a silk to satin sheen.  The protection is so good that your tires will never weather check (dry rot) as long as it is on the tire.  If your tires are already weather checked SHOW TIRE will prevent them from further damage as long as it is on the tire.

Q. How long does the protection last?

A. Usually around one to two months depending on conditions such as amount of road chemicals, type of road chemicals etc.  If the vehicle is laid up such as an RV, protection usually lasts three to four months.

Q. How easy is it to apply?

A. As easy as it can get.  Just clean the tire using our CRUD REMOVER or BEST FINISH LEATHER, VINYL & RUBBER CLEANER or similar penetrating water based cleaner to get rid of dirt, grime, road chemicals and possibly silicone based treatments you have used before.  This is necessary to allow our protective product to penetrate the rubber pores of the sidewall to completely protect the tire.  Wipe the tire dry after cleaning, apply SHOW TIRE PROTECTIVE TIRE DRESSING liberally, let dry and wipe off excess.  Your tires will have a black, rich look resisting dirt and junk from sticking to them. and you are ready to go.  It should take no more than 2 to 4 minutes a tire. And will last for months.

Q. How much does it take to do a tire?

A. Very little.  A 20 oz. bottle should last around a year.  Even for larger RV tires.

Q. Does it contain silicone?

A. NO!  Virtually all tire dressings are made with silicone to produce a “wet look”.  Even worse, some are made using silicone oil (the stuff that does not dry and gets on everything).  As well they contain petroleum distillates.  This method is cheap to make, cleans the surface easily and gives that “wet look”.  The down side is in a few days your tires are brown and full of dirt and dust!   As well the sun is causing immense damage to the sidewall because the interaction of UV rays with petroleum distillates magnifies the damage done by the sun.  There is no tire manufacturer in the world that recommends silicone, silicone oil or petroleum distillates be put on their tires.

Q. How is silicone, silicone oil and petroleum distillates damaging to tires?

A. Tires are made with a mild UV and ozone protection built in the rubber sidewall.  This protection works its way out during driving due to the flexing of the tire.  This is why a tire that sits will “dry rot”.  The elements wear off the protection then start breaking down the rubber.  Silicone oil is the worst of the products since it is the hardest to remove.  You can tell silicone oil because it does not dry, it stays oily for a long time acting like a dirt magnet.  The tire has a wet look and even 4 or 5 days later you can wipe it off on your hands.

Silicone, especially silicone oil, treatments do two bad things.  The most important, they penetrate the sidewall and block the built in UV and ozone protection from coming out and doing the job intended.  Since these products themselves provide absolutely no protection it does not take long for the elements (mostly the sun) to start breaking down the rubber sidewall. 

Second, the petroleum distillates in the product aid and magnify the effects of the sun causing a faster breakdown of the sidewall than would normally take place without the petroleum distillate coating.

Unfortunately they are hard to remove.  Normal tire cleaners or soap and water will not break down the silicone completely enough but may remove petroleum distillates.  They don’t penetrate the tire side wall to get the silicone out of the rubber pores in the sidewall so it stays there doing damage.  You must use a penetrating cleaner such as our CRUD REMOVER or BEST FINISH LEATHER, VINYL & RUBBER CLEANER to completely break down the silicone and get it out of the rubber pores itself.  Then and only then can you start truly protecting your tires

Q. Why does SHOW TIRE PROTECTIVE DRESSING work better?

A. Since SHOW TIRE is water based the polymers used are completely compatible with rubber and the built in UV and ozone protection. 

Q. How do I clean my tires when protected with SHOW TIRE PROTECTIVE DRESSING?

A. Just wipe your tires clean with a damp cloth or spray them with a hose and wipe dry.  No need to wash them with soap.  That will just shorten the life of the protective dressing.  The anti-static properties resist the natural tendencies of tires to become static laden from friction caused by the air going past the tire which attracts dust, dirt and road chemicals. 

Q. How do I know when it is time to reapply SHOW TIRE PROTECTIVE DRESSING again?

A.  Just wipe your tires clean.  When they don’t have that nice dark black finish anymore it is time to reapply SHOW TIRE again.

Q. What happens if you stop using SHOW TIRE PROTECTIVE DRESSING?

A. Outside of loosing the great protection and look nothing bad will happen.  It will eventually wear off and the mild built in UV and ozone protection will once again start working.

Q. What about laying up a vehicle such as an RV or boat?

A.  SHOW TIRE PROTECTIVE DRESSING is perhaps the best solution you can have.  Environmental damage does not quit just because the tire is not moving but the built in protection does quit.  A tire will look pretty bad after one to two weeks of sitting because the protection is gone and the sun and ozone are doing damage to the sidewall.

SHOW TIRE PROTECTIVE DRESSING will last several months, three to four when a tire is just sitting there.  This will prevent deterioration from taking place.  IN FACT, AS LONG AS SHOW TIRE IS ON THE SIDEWALL NO DETERIORATION CAN START.  If it has started (sidewall cracks or checks) SHOW TIRE will stop it from becoming worse as long as it is on the surface.

In vehicles such as boats, water will just bead off the tire.

Q. Can you use SHOW TIRE PROTECTIVE DRESSING on other surfaces?

A. Yes.  First, use it on all type rubber.  Rubber roofs, door seals, RV slide seals, hard plastic panels and items such as air dams, trim, mirror housings etc. and to renew the look of spray-in bed liners for pick up trucks.  In a pinch it works great as a protectant for vehicle dashboards.

NO RINSE – WASH & SHINE

Q. Can you actually wash without rinsing?

A. Yes and It really is easier than regular car washing.  Just wash an area using a microfiber cloth, and then dry it using a different microfiber cloth.  There are special lubricating polymers in the product to bind up dirt particles that prevent scratching.

Q. How come it doesn’t scratch?

A. The special lubricating polymers are extremely slippery.  They bond to dirt particles and encapsulate them so dirt just floats across the surface without touching it.  The special cleaners in NO RINSE-Wash & Shine break the dirt loose quickly and instantly they are encapsulated with the lubricant.

Q. Are there other benefits besides not having to rinse?

A. Yes.  Besides no rinsing you also get a tremendous shine and protection.  NO RINSE-Wash & Shine also contains real polishes that give you that “show car” shine along with UV protection lasting up to one month.  The surface resists fingerprinting, bugs sticking to it, and hard water spots bonding to the surface.

Q. Outside of no rinsing is it comparable to regular car wash soaps?

A. NO RINSE – WASH & SHINE offers many more benefits.

• You can wash in a garage in very hot or cold weather since no rinsing is required.
• It meets all clean water restrictions in the U.S.A.
• It imparts a great shine with protection.
• This method is more than twice as quick to do a vehicle, especially large ones.
• It is very economical, just ½ oz. per gallon.  Regular car washes are usually 1 oz. per gallon of water.
• Dirt comes off instantly.  Bugs require very little rubbing.
• It works in hard water and with this method there is no water spotting.
• It is extremely gentle to the surface and will not remove quality polishes.

Q. Is there anything more required after drying?

A. Nothing more is required.  Your car is clean, has a great shine and is polished, resists hard water spots bonding on, fingerprinting and bugs sticking on (bugs remove easily with a damp cloth).  However, it is highly recommended to apply PERFECT DETAIL SPRAY POLISH to the surface when finished to add longer protection and an anti-static treatment.

Q. How long does the protection provided by NO RINSE-Wash & Shine last?

A. Protection last up to one month.  This is why we highly recommend applying PERFECT DETAIL SPRAY POLISH after washing.  PERFECT DETAIL SPRAY POLISH will last up to 3 months.  You do not need to apply PERFECT DETAIL after each wash if you are washing more frequently than once every two to three months.  If you vehicle is after the show car shine for an event such as a car show then apply PERFECT DETAIL SPRAY POLISH AFTER WASHING.

Q. Does NO RINSE-Wash & Shine do a better cleaning job than regular car wash soap?

A. Yes.  Although it is designed to remove the same basic type of contaminants from vehicle surfaces as a quality car shampoo there are differences.  The method of cleaning eliminated all the missed areas regular washing leaves.  The cleaners offer superior ability to get dirt loose as compared to regular car wash soap.  Other benefits come from all the other features it offers that even quality car washes don’t.

Q. What about using it in water restricted areas?

A. NO RINSE – WASH & SHINE is the very best thing to use in those areas.  It only requires one gallon to wash any car or two gallons of water for large vehicles like trucks and RV/s.  Under normal car wash usage you can consume over 10 gallons of water in rinsing alone and many times the cleaners in them pollute the environment.

For RV’s in a park that does not allow washing you can clean even a large motorhome with 2 gallons of water.  This allows you to go ahead and clean.  If your RV is not really dirty use PERFECT DETAIL SPRAY POLISH which requires no water.

Q. What about dumping the used water down the drain?

A. The product is water soluble, biodegradable so there is no danger from the product.   It greatly reduces the discharge of pollutants into storm drains, sewers and ground water.  It helps you comply with the discharge guidelines established by the Clean Water Act and the Environmental Protection Agency.

To save money you can let the bucket sit for several hours to let the dirt drop to the bottom and skim off the product just tossing away the dirt with a little liquid product.  The product you skimmed off is good to use the next time.

PRESTIGE PROTECTIVE POLISH

Q. How does Prestige Protective Polish compare to those sold in retail & auto stores?

A. There is a world of difference between the two.  Polishes made to sell in retail discount stores have one primary goal in mind.  Have the lowest possible cost to provide the largest profit margin to entice the retailer to stock the product and to pay for advertising, promotion and sales costs.

Our primary goal is to provide the very best protective polish available at the lowest cost per application and with the most features.  To make the lowest purchase cost you must sacrifice many features including true long term protection. 

Q. What is unique about Prestige Protective Polish?

A. Prestige not only provides the ultimate in protection and cleans up oxidation but it also removes surface imperfections such as swirls and cleaning marks at the same time.

It is applied by hand or power and does not require buffing for that outstanding shine.  It is easier to remove surface swirls and cleaning marks by power.  Hand application may take two to three times to remove this type of surface damage.

Now it is possible to remove all types of surface damage while getting the best protection possible.

Q. On what type of surfaces can Prestige Protective Polish be applied?

A. You can use it on paint, clearcoat, fiberglass, Gelcoat, glass and chrome.

Q. What about the long-term protection claimed by polishes selling in drug stores and supermarkets?

A. Like all low priced products with outlandish claims they use a very flawed method to advertise how long they last.  One of the common ones states we washed a car 52 times and water still beaded up.  This is advertised as proving their protection lasts a year.  Well, water will bead up on a clean, smooth surface regardless of the fact there is polish on it or not.  Also, what happened to the 52 weeks of being out in the environment?  They conveniently forgot that!  There simply is NO POLISH THAT WILL LAST A YEAR WITH ONE APPLICATION, NONE!!!  The average life cycle of 6 months provided by Prestige Protective Polish is documented by independent lab testing; not advertising claims and is the longest available.

Q. What about ease of application?

A. Prestige is about the easiest to use there is to apply.  Simply rub on a small area, it hazes out in seconds, then wipe the haze off.  That’s it! No hard rubbing, no buffing, nothing else required.  Your surface is cleaned of imbedded dirt, imperfections, buff marks, and shines like heck.  It is as smooth as you want with the best protection you can get.

Q. Does it discolor plastic or rubber trim?

A. Prestige Protective Polish is perhaps the only true polish that does not discolor trim, plastic or rubber.  If it gets on trim, just remove it with a cloth.  No discoloration, no mess!

Q. What about fiberglass and other surfaces?

A. Prestige works great on clear coat, paint, fiberglass, Gelcoat and glass.  Use it on windshields to sheet water off and it will last longer than the popular glass treatments such as Rainex®.  It will also protect all surfaces from water spots bonding on and from fuel discoloring surfaces.  Use it on glass top cook stoves to protect the surface from food sticking to it.  Use it in showers to protect against water spotting, soap and shampoo buildup.  Everything will remove easily from the surface when you use Prestige, even the acid from bird droppings and bugs.  Prestige Protective Polish can be used on most all hard, smooth surfaces.

Q. How much is required to do a car?

A. You should use around 3 to 4 oz. for an average size car.  A 40’ motorhome will take around 32 oz. for the four sides, not including the roof.  Many of our RV customers report using 30 oz. or less for their 40’ coach.  The exact amount used depends on the amount of oxidation, imbedded dirt and how much surface damage you are trying to remove.

FORMULA2 CLEANER/PROTECTANT

Q. What is unique about Formula2 Cleaner/Protectant?

A. Formula2 cleans, reconditions and protects in a single application.  It does each of those functions better than any other single product.  As well, it rebuilds the factory protection on leather and vinyl that wears off easily.  In addition, it contains UV inhibitors and anti-static properties.

Q. On what type of surfaces can it be used?

A. Use on leather, ultra-leather, exotic skins, vinyl, plastic trim and rubber trim, dashboards, seats, etc.

Q. Does it contain silicone like other leather products?

A. No!  There are no harmful silicones or petroleum distillates.

Q. Does it get all over your cloths and on the windshield?

A. No!  Those type products use silicone oil that will not dry and petroleum distillates.  Formula2 is water based and made of the finest available ingredients.

Q. How does it compare to other leather & vinyl products?

A.  There are a few good leather and vinyl products available.  Of the good ones, they offer separate cleaners, reconditioners and treatments.  The total cost of them far exceeds the cost of Formula2.  As well, you have to do separate applications for each function so the time saved is quite a bit.  There is NO OTHER leather or vinyl product that cleans as well, reconditions as well has the quality of treatment to maintain the product in premium condition.

In addition, these products cannot be used on vehicle trim such as rubber and hard plastic like Formula2 can. 

Q. How much does it take to do a job?

A.  There is no simple or easy answer to that since every application is unique.  The fact is however, you will use less Formula2 than other products.  Many of our customers report one bottle lasts around one year.

MICROFIBER PRODUCTS

The term “microfiber” is based on the size of a fiber measuring below 1.0 denier (the diameter or fineness of a continuous or filament fiber—the lower the number, the finer the fiber, which in turn is more effective for cleaning surfaces).  The mills used to manufacturer Best Finish Products® microfibers use advanced microfiber technology by splitting the fiber, producing a 0.20-0.15 denier, making it the finest, thus, highest quality microfiber on the market today. We have trademarked this high quality microfiber and use it to produce our core product line—cleaning cloths and chamois.

Each strand of Best Finish Products® microfiber is comprised of two components--wedge-shaped polyester filaments and a core of nylon. Made of both oil-attracting and water-attracting polymers, these strands are woven into masses of tiny "hooks & loops”. The sharp edges of millions of these fibers cut through dried-in stains, attracting and absorbing dirt and micro-particles, eliminating the need for additional chemical cleansers. Best Finish Products® microfiber is not treated with any chemicals. The capillary effect between the filaments and nylon core creates a high absorbency, which in turn, enables the fiber to clean and polish at the same time. Therefore, only water is needed as a detergent to clean any type of surface.

Best Finish® microfiber picks up and traps dust, dirt, grease, and particles inside the “star-shaped” grooves of the fiber. Each cloth and mop pad is made up of over 2 million yards of Best Finish® microfiber for 30 times the cleaning power of an ordinary cleaning cloth or pad.

Best Finish® microfibers are so specialized, only a handful of factories worldwide have the capabilities and capacity to manufacture them.

BENEFITS OF BEST FINISH® MICROFIBER

Best Finish® microfiber products are simply unique!  We use only virgin polyester & polyamide in all of our products.  There is no re-processed soda & milk bottles or scrap plastics used only virgin polymers of the absolute finest quality available in the world today.

 The benefits to you are many and easy to see. 

The color is throughout the fiber.  It is mixed in when the fiber is in a liquid state.  This results in much less, if any, color loss from washing.  Cheap discount store microfibers are dyed on the outside and fade rapidly.

The shape of the wiping edges is consistent and runs the length of the fiber.  This results in over 100% faster water pickup, scrubbing ability, no linting and overall performance.  Cheap discount store microfibers have inconsistent and poorly formed wiping edges resulting in substantially less performance, less life, linting and scratching on fine finishes such as furniture, car paint, jewelry etc.

The amount of material per square inch is much more.  The density is much greater and the weave styles offer performance that cannot be matched by any discount store product.

The life of our products is hundreds of times longer than discount store products.  Most products will last a lifetime if properly taken care of.

The value of the superior quality and performance of Best Finish® microfiber products make them a far better value than discount store products.  They cost a little more but do so much more, do it faster, better and last so much longer than discount store products that the bottom line is they are a far, far better value!  So much so that we guarantee it or your money back!

Our variety of weaves we offer is big.  Weaves designed to excel at one or more specific jobs are called performance weaves.  We have more than any other mill or retail outlet.  Our performance weaves are designed to do the job up to 10 times better than regular all-purpose weaves and simply outperform any other companies performance weaves.

General purpose weaves are just that, designed to do a large variety of jobs.  Our general purpose weaves not only do the largest variety of jobs but do them so well they outperform most other brands performance weaves.

Why?  Because they are designed and built to be better, far better!

Type of uses. 

On a vehicle surface they will not scratch the finest of paint jobs.  Anywhere inside the house or recreational vehicle.  Mirrors, windows, counter tops, TV & computer screens, dusting, appliances, bath & kitchen areas, wiping down showers to prevent hard water spots, wiping down machinery, tools etc.  The list is endless!

 Wash and Care Instructions

Best Finish® microfiber cloths and mop pads do not need to be washed after every use when used only for dusting or sweeping. Just shake out the cloth and mop pad, or rinse in hot sudsy water. When the cloths or pads get heavily soiled, wash as follows:

Hand or machine-wash in hot or warm water, with detergent. Washing at a high temperature makes the microfibers expand, releasing trapped dirt and micro particles.

Do not wash cloths or mop pads with terry towels or other materials that "shed" a lot of lint. Wash them separately or throw them in the wash with jeans or t-shirts (articles that don't shed a lot of lint).

Air or machine dry.

DO NOT USE FABRIC SOFTENERS or AN IRON!

WARNING: Over time, harsh chemicals, such as those contained in bleach and fabric softeners will decrease the effectiveness and durability of the microfiber material. Although our products only require water to clean and even kill germs and bacteria, chemical cleansers can be used without damaging microfiber materials.

About Us

Best Finish Products® has been in the microfiber business for over 20 years.  During this time we have moved from purchasing through distributors to buying directly from the mills to having our own products made to our specifications.  We primarily focused on the wholesale trade most of those years.

During this time we have accumulated a wealth of application information, so much so that several microfiber mills come to us to discuss new products and applications prior or during their developmental process.

We know microfiber applications for all type vehicles.  This includes cars, show cars, museum cars, motorcycles, aircraft, RV's, marine and about every other type vehicle out there.  We know the finishes from our background dealing with detail products and know what microfiber products to use on any specific vehicle surface, period!

Dealing with RV's, especially motor homes, we have also accumulated a vast amount of application knowledge on the use of microfiber products both inside and out.  We have furthered this knowledge with extensive testing of microfiber products in the home. 

As a result of this knowledge we started developing our own microfiber products years ago.  One product just does not do everything the best way possible.  You don't use one tool for every job do you?  No, you don't because different tools do different jobs better than other tools.  The same is true for microfiber products.  Different weaves and compositions do different jobs far faster and better than other weaves and compositions.

Several years ago when we started spending more time in retail sales of microfibers a number of things became apparent very quickly.  One of the first things we ran into was the total lack of knowledge by over 98% of the people selling microfibers.  To them it was like hula hoops.  Jump into an area when it’s hot, make the big buck then jump out when it gets to be more of a commodity item or popularity dies down.  This lack of knowledge has resulted in so many misconceptions about microfiber usage that it would be almost impossible to list them here so we will discuss the three biggest ones.

The biggest misconception regards the blend ratio, 70/30, 75/25, 80/20 etc.   The second biggest misconception is that you can buy a quality microfiber at a cheap price at the discount or club store.  The 3rd. biggest misconception is that all microfiber products are the same, just buy them at the cheapest price you can find. 

This misconception is just lack of knowledge because in reality microfiber is an extremely technical product with over 10 years of research behind just the development of the first product over 30 years ago.  The truth is the blend ratio is determined at the mill and is based on the intended use the particular product is designed for.  The original ratio developed 30 years ago was 80/20 because after extensive testing it proved to be the best for the use intended.  However, 30 years ago there was only one product and it was a general use terry type weave. 

The resulting explosion of product knowledge gained in the ensuing years has dictated many different blends depending on what the product is intended to do.  The blend ratio is the amount of polyester to polyamide.  An 80/20 means the cloth was designed to be 80% polyester (the microfiber itself) and 20% polyamide (the nylon framework the microfiber is woven on).  Each plays a part in the overall performance of the product.  There are many other factors involved in ratios due to forming wiping edges, lost material etc. but those are not important to your product use.

The second & third misconceptions are just plain consumer greed.  We all have it to some degree.  Some are just smart enough to get beyond price and realize it is only one component of a purchase.  

Virtually every product made has different levels of quality and features that effect the price.  Is every car the same?  You can get anywhere in the cheapest car made but it is not the best selling vehicle.  Why, because price is only one item to consider, perhaps the biggest one but still only one thing.  Features, trade-in value, operating costs and many other items go into a purchase. 

It is the same with microfiber.  Buying the cheapest price only gets you the cheapest product which in reality may be the most expensive product to use when you look at life cycle, performance, speed and easy of doing a job etc.

To reduce microfiber prices just cut down on the amount of microfiber in the product.  With newer knitting mills it is easy to put in less material yet weave it in a way that covers that up.  All microfiber products are made by weight, so many grams per sq. meter.  Feed that info into the knitting machine and it makes the product.

Another is to use reprocessed plastics that are 100's of times cheaper than the virgin products.  Use different type of plastics as fillers to cut costs.  Reprocessed and filler material results in a harder finished material that can scratch finishes.

Dye the color on the outside of the fiber instead of mixing it in the raw material.  This results in fast fading of color but the method is cheaper.  Also use cheaper dye materials.

Cheat on the method of forming wiping edges.  This results in poorly formed wiping edges and hard fibers that break and lint but saves time which is money in manufacturing.

I could go on and on about ways to make a product cheaper.  The simple truth is there are only two basic ways to make a quality product less expensive.  One is to make more of the same item and the other is to buy direct. Everyone needs a certain amount of profit to stay in business(large chain stores and mom & pop stores) so eliminating as many middle people from the distribution chain as possible lowers the cost.   Large chains make as much profit margin or more than many much smaller businesses so don't think size alone drives prices down.  You can't buy direct unless you want a container full of product and have contacts with the mill and know which mills make quality and which to avoid because they focus on price, not quality.  The next best thing is to buy from a direct importer of quality microfiber which is where Best Finish Products® comes in.
