Fireball Towel Cleaner Restore softness, absorbency, and performance to your microfiber towels, applicators, and polishing pads. Fireball Towel Cleaner is a highly concentrated microfiber detergent specifically formulated to deep clean detailing microfiber safely and effectively. Unlike standard laundry detergents, microfiber-specific cleaners are designed to:

• remove polishing oils
• break down waxes and sealants
• clean compound residue
• remove trapped contamination
• rinse clean without leaving heavy residue in the fibers
• maintain softness and absorbency

Over time, microfiber towels can become:

• stiff
• clogged
• less absorbent
• grabby on paint

Fireball Towel Cleaner helps restore proper microfiber performance without relying on fabric softeners or heavy residue-forming detergents. Safe for:

• microfiber towels
• drying towels
• polishing cloths
• applicators
• polishing pads
• interior fabrics

Features

• Highly concentrated formula
• Strong cleaning power for detailing residues
• Safe on microfiber fabrics and polishing pads
• Helps restore softness and absorbency
• Removes polishing oils, waxes, sealants, and compound residue
• Helps microfiber towels perform properly for longer

Why Use A Dedicated Microfiber Detergent?

Many household detergents contain:

• fabric softeners
• perfumes
• fillers
• brighteners

These can reduce microfiber performance over time by coating or clogging the fibers. Dedicated microfiber detergents are especially useful for detailing towels contaminated with polishing oils, ceramic sprays, compounds, metal polish residue, and drying aid products. A proper microfiber detergent is designed to clean effectively while helping maintain:

• absorbency
• softness
• buffing performance
• paint safety

If you look after your microfiber towels properly, they will look after you.

Our Experience Using Fireball Towel Cleaner

This is what Michelle uses to clean all of Adam’s microfiber towels at home. Adam gave Michelle a range of different microfiber cleaners to test, and this was her favourite. It is thicker than many other microfiber detergents and seems to clean heavily contaminated detailing towels particularly well while still helping restore softness and absorbency. Michelle normally uses:

• 1 capful for smaller loads
• 2 capfuls for larger or dirtier loads

Also Excellent For Cleaning Polishing Pads

Fireball Towel Cleaner also works extremely well for cleaning polishing pads. For pad cleaning:

• Mix approximately 10% Fireball Towel Cleaner with 90% water in a spray bottle
• Spray directly onto the pad
• Agitate using a polishing pad brush
• Rinse thoroughly

This works particularly well for removing:

• polish residue
• compound residue
• polishing oils

Additional Uses

Fireball Towel Cleaner can also be used for:

• stain removal
• carpet extraction
• interior fabric cleaning

Suitable for use in:

• carpet extractors
• shampoo buckets
• hand cleaning applications

Microfiber Care

• Wash separately from cotton towels and lint-producing fabrics

Tips

• Wash polishing towels separately from final buffing towels
• Wash metal polishing towels separately from paint towels
• Avoid excessive dryer heat
• Do not overload the washing machine
• Wash heavily contaminated towels reasonably soon after use
• Professional detailers often separate towels by both task and contamination level to help prevent cross-contamination

Recommended For Pad Cleaning

If you regularly clean polishing pads, we recommend pairing Fireball Towel Cleaner with:

• a dilution spray bottle
• a proper polishing pad cleaning brush

This makes it much easier to break down heavy polish and compound residue before rinsing. See our Polishing Pad Cleaning Kit here.
