8 Best Microfiber Car Cloths for Washing and Detailing Your Vehicle

This cloth’s small 14 by 16–inch size makes it perfect for stowing a few in the car for periodic dusting, or to mop up emergency spills. You could even take on several spills at once, considering that twelve of them come in the box. It’s best saved for the interior, however, because the coarse short-pile pattern won’t be good on paint.

The makeup is more washcloth than drying towel, and has a very high polyester content — 87 percent versus only 13 percent polyamide, and so it’s less absorbent than its competitors.
