Add these to your microfiber arsenal

NewMicro2

This thick, absorbent microfiber towel is perfect for any detailing step that requires removing liquids such as spray detailers, spray waxes or sealants and waterless washes. The thick, non-directional weave of the long, high-profile open-ended pile microfibers are capable of absorbing tremendous amounts of liquid deep into the nap, allowing you to get the job done faster!

Protects as you wipe
Thick abundant and plush microfiber strands in the Heavyweight Buff & Polish Towel allow dirt, dust and other particulates to bury deep into the nap. This protects your car’s scratch-sensitive clear coat finish. Each strand of these towels is open ended, not looped like some other towels. Open ended strands allow dirt and dust particles to be more easily released during washing, making these towels safe to use again and again.

One side of the Safe Scrub & Polishing Towel offers a super soft microfiber nap. This short pile nap is incredibly soft and fluffy making it perfectly gentle to the most delicate clear coat finishes. The short pile length of the microscopic fibers use a blend of 75% Polyester and 25% Polyamide to create a towel that is incredibly soft and gentle while offering excellent absorption of liquids including spray detailers or spray waxes along with a gentle stoutness for removing more stubborn compound, polish and wax residues.

Nylon Mesh Scrubber Weave
The other side of the Safe Scrub & Polishing Towel offers a dual layer of honeycomb nylon mesh for safe but powerful scrubbing action for removing things like bug splatter, stubborn road grime and tar. The round honeycomb design of the nylon mesh works to slice into and remove unwanted surface contaminants without scratching delicate clear coat paints.

The Perfect Rinseless Wash Towel
Two towels in one makes this the perfect wash towel for rinseless washes. When it comes to using a rinseless wash, many professional detailers prefer to use a simple microfiber towel instead of a wash mitt, sponge or brush. Regular microfiber towels become very limp when saturated with wash solution. The dual-layer of honeycomb nylon mesh on the Safe Scrub & Polishing Towel provides a more substantial backing to the microfiber side making it easier to use and more effective when carefully washing body panels. For stubborn stains or areas with bug splatter simply flip the towel over to the nylon mesh side for extra scrubbing power.

New Microfiber Pads

August 15, 2012 by Leave a Comment

LC Microfiber 1

Thousands of hours of research and countless design changes have led to the production of Lake Country Ultra-Fiber Microfiber Pads! Lake Country Ultra-Fiber Microfiber Pads utilize the latest in microfiber technology to provide a single design that can be used for compounding and polishing! Lake Country Ultra-Fiber Microfiber Pads are manufactured using ultra-bond adhesive technology to ensure the pads don’t delaminate, even after countless uses. Lake Country Ultra-Fiber Microfiber Pads are available in two configurations for dual action and rotary polishers.

What are the benefits of microfiber pads versus foam pads for compounding and polishing? It’s quite simple, actually. Microfiber pads are constructed of thousands of strands of microfiber and these fibers provide more cut because they’re actually a form of abrasive. Lake Country Ultra-Fiber Microfiber Pads take this concept a step further by utilizing microfiber loops that are more plush and more dense compared to other microfiber pads. These fibers are sewn closer together which means the Ultra-Fiber Microfiber Pads cut more, finish nicer, and more importantly, last longer.

Two Designs – Dual Action & Rotary – The rotation of a dual action polisher versus a rotary polisher affects the polishing action of a microfiber pad. To compensate for this difference Ultra-Fiber Microfiber Pads are available in two configurations for both polisher types. Ultra-Fiber Microfiber Pads for dual action polishers are thinner and made with a special cross-linked polyethylene core for maximum cutting and polishing ability, but flexible enough to adapt to curves and contours. Ultra-Fiber Microfiber Pads for rotary polishers are made with a special reticulated foam core designed to disperse heat that occurs with rotary polishing. This thick foam core also provides excellent flexibility for contoured surfaces.

Take your polishing skills to the next level with the Lake Country Ultra-Fiber Microfiber Pads!

Gtechniq EXO
GTechniq EXO is a paint coating that protects virtually any surface from dirt, sun exposure, and moisture permanently. Durability tests prove that after 600 washes, water still beads on surfaces treated with EXO. Hybrid coating technology gives automobiles, aircraft, boats, and recreational vehicles unbeatable protection from the elements.

When you use GTechniq EXO Ultra Durable Hybrid Coating, durability is measured in years, not weeks. The hydrophobic coating stands up to windshield wiper usage for up to 2 years. EXO remains hydrophobic after years of regular washing and after 2 years of sun exposure.

But GTechniq EXO isn’t all about protection. It also gives surfaces a high gloss and a slick feel like the best car wax. The best part is that the EXO finish will remain slick and shiny for much longer than any traditional wax or paint sealant. You’ll enjoy years of surface protection with just one application!
