Those fine circular scratches — the ones you only see when the light hits right — came from cleaning it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAn old bath towel. A t-shirt. A cheap yellow cloth from the supermarket. Every one of them drags grit across the paint instead of lifting it away, and every wash leaves a few more marks that never come out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eYou can spend a weekend correcting swirls. Or you can stop putting them there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhat 500gsm actually means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGSM is how much the fabric weighs per square metre — in plain terms, how thick and plush the cloth is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA supermarket microfibre cloth is usually 200–300gsm. Thin, flat, and it pushes dirt around as much as it picks it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is 500gsm.\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep pile, dense, and heavy in the hand. The fibres are long enough to trap grit \u003cem\u003einside\u003c\/em\u003e the cloth rather than dragging it along the surface — which is the single thing that stops swirl marks happening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt's the weight professional detailers use. It costs a bit more than a supermarket cloth. It's still less than a single machine polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe 80\/20 blend, and why it matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCheap cloths are 100% polyester. Polyester scrubs but doesn't absorb well, and it can feel scratchy on paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is \u003cstrong\u003e80% polyester, 20% polyamide\u003c\/strong\u003e — the standard detailers specify. The polyester does the cleaning, the polyamide does the absorbing. Together they hold several times their own weight in water, which is why one cloth can dry a panel instead of just smearing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTwo sides, two jobs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe plush side\u003c\/strong\u003e for paint, glass and anything delicate — waxing, buffing, final wipe-downs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe flatter side\u003c\/strong\u003e for the jobs that need a bit more bite — door shims, wheel faces, engine bays, interior plastics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOne cloth, both jobs, without swapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhere you'll use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBodywork and paint. Windows and mirrors, streak-free. Wheels and chrome. Dashboards, door cards and console plastics. Leather and vinyl seats. Boot and door shuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt's not just a car cloth either — it does bikes, windows, worktops and screens just as well. Most people buy one for the car and end up keeping another under the sink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLook after it and it'll last for years\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWash it before first use. After that, machine wash warm with normal detergent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo fabric softener\u003c\/strong\u003e — it coats the fibres and kills the absorbency permanently. \u003cstrong\u003eNo bleach.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDon't tumble dry on high\u003c\/strong\u003e, and don't wash it with cotton towels, because it'll pick up their lint and stop working properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDo that and one cloth lasts hundreds of washes. Ignore it and you'll have ruined a good cloth in a fortnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFour colours — and use them as a system\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBlue, green, yellow and purple.

Wheel grit is the main cause of scratched paint, and it happens because someone used the wheel cloth on a bonnet without thinking. Different colours make that mistake impossible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBuy one of each and the system sorts itself out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eYour car already says something.
