Are the Autogeek terrycloth Bonnets safe to use on Jetblack??

The save advice and forum consensus over the years plus recommendations from microfiber supplies is "no". Don't use any type of fabric softener when washing and drying microfiber towels.

One reason for this, (not the only reason), is because the micro-fibers both adsorb and absorb substances onto them, in this case the softening agents and this can interfere with their performance.

That's it!!

And here's the 4 bonnets fresh out of the washer and dryer and I'm pointing to one right off the shelf. If I feel them for a difference I would say the bonnets that have been washed and dried are now softer, but not by a huge difference.

My opinion is that if I had used a fabric softener in the dryer then there would be a more noticeable difference.

The bigger picture here is that microfiber wiping towels or bonnets are a lot more gentle to scratch-sensitive surfaces than traditional terry cloth towels or bonnets but here at Autogeek we like to make both available to suit the preferences of everyone.
