All About Microfibre Madness

Open a drawer of wash mitts and drying towels from most brands and they all promise the same thing: soft, safe, absorbent. Microfibre Madness is different for one practical reason. It builds separate products for separate jobs instead of one all-purpose towel, and the differences between them (a viscose pad that self-rinses, a mitt reserved for corrected paint, a drying towel that has barely changed since 2010 because it did not need to) are the kind of detail that actually changes which one you should buy. We stock a big chunk of the range and get asked most weeks which piece someone actually needs first. This is that answer, mitt by mitt and towel by towel, not just a list of what is in stock.

Where Microfibre Madness Fits in a UK Detailing Kit

Microfibre Madness is a German-engineered brand that has been building wash media since 2010, and the Incredimitt, its signature glide-fibre wash mitt, has been in continuous production since 2013 with the same core fibre technology. That kind of longevity in a category where most brands refresh their range every couple of years is a trust signal worth noting on its own.

• Purpose-built, not general-purpose. Each product in the range is engineered for one job (contact washing, drying, glass, interior) rather than marketed as a do-everything towel.
• Material choice is deliberate. Some pieces use a viscose-blend fibre instead of standard polyester and polyamide microfibre, specifically because viscose releases dirt more easily during rinsing.
• The range is built around real workshop feedback. Several products (the Incredipad, the Incrediflair) exist because customers asked for an alternative to an existing piece, not because the brand needed another SKU.

From a practical detailing point of view, this is what earns Microfibre Madness a place in a professional's kit rather than a hobbyist's cupboard: you are not paying for one clever material stretched across ten products, you are paying for the right material in the right place.

Wash Mitt Or Wash Pad: the Incredimitt, Delimitt, Incredipad and Delipad

The first real decision is mitt or pad, and then which fibre within that. All four of these do a contact wash; they are not interchangeable in practice once you know what each one is actually for.

• Incredimitt (standard microfibre, mitt format). The brand's signature product since 2013, built around a gliding fibre woven through the whole mitt rather than just the palm. This is the everyday, all-condition choice for a routine contact wash on a daily driver.
• Delimitt (softer blend, mitt format). The softest mitt in the range. Reserve this one for corrected and ceramic-coated paint rather than using it as a daily mitt; its extra softness is there specifically to protect a finish you have already put correction work into, not to make routine washing marginally nicer.
• Incredipad (viscose blend, pad format). Built from a viscose-blend fabric rather than standard microfibre, so it releases dirt from the fibres far more easily on rinse. That means it comes out of the rinse bucket close to clean without needing a machine wash after every session, and it is the pick if you prefer a pad you hold flat against the panel rather than a mitt on your hand.
• Delipad (softer blend, pad format). The pad version of the Delimitt's softer material, in a smaller, easier-to-hold format that is less likely to slip out of your hand mid-wash than a full mitt.

Use this if: you want one mitt that handles every wash on a daily driver, start with the Incredimitt. Avoid this if: your paint is already corrected or coated, in which case the Incredimitt's standard softness is not the point, step up to the Delimitt or Delipad instead.

Drying and Buffing: the Chipmunk Edgeless, Dry Me Crazy and Glass Towels

Once the car is off the wash stage, the fibre needs change again. A towel built to lift water off a panel is a different job to one built to remove a fine glass haze without lint.

• Dry Me Crazy. The brand's original drying towel, launched in 2010 and largely unchanged since because the design has not needed correcting. A big, thirsty drying towel for the first pass on a wet panel, in the same twisted-loop family covered in our guide to waffle versus twisted-loop drying towels.
• Chipmunk Edgeless. An edgeless update to the same drying job, useful if you want the extra margin for error an edgeless border gives on a freshly corrected or coated panel where a stitched edge is a real, if small, marring risk. See our full guide to choosing a drying towel for how it stacks up against other formats.
• Vitria. A deluxe glass-specific towel engineered against lint and streaking. Standard microfibre lints onto glass and leaves smears, which is exactly why a dedicated glass towel earns its own slot in the kit rather than sharing one with bodywork towels.
• Cloudbuster. The brand's more affordable glass cloth for the same no-lint job, a sensible second or spare glass towel to keep in rotation.

Keep glass towels and body towels in fully separate piles, even in the wash. A towel that has picked up polish residue or grit from bodywork use will leave marks on glass no matter how well it launders. If you are still deciding between a microfibre and a chamois for drying altogether, our microfibre versus chamois comparison covers that decision in full.

The Incredipole System and Other Tools Worth Adding

"Incredipole" is Microfibre Madness's name for its extension-pole wash system, not just a longer mitt. It pairs a noodle-head microfibre head, the softest wash-mitt construction the brand makes, with a telescopic pole that clips it on at the end. The point of that combination is reach: it lets you wash the roof and bonnet of a taller SUV or van standing at arm's length on the ground, instead of leaning across the paint or fetching a stepladder to get up there safely. The Delipole is the same pole system fitted with the brand's softer Deli-material head rather than the standard one.

Tools At A Glance

Image	Product	Feature	What It's For	Best For
	Incredipole	Noodle-head microfibre wash head on a telescopic pole	Reaching the roof and bonnet without leaning across the paint	SUVs, vans, anything taller than a hatchback
	Delipole	Same pole system with the softer Deli-material head	Reach-and-gentle wash combined	Tall vehicles with corrected or ceramic-coated paint
	Incredibrush Flat	Flat microfibre wheel-barrel brush	Cleaning inside wheel barrels without scratching	Any car with alloy wheels
	Scrub-A-Round	Interior-specific scrubbing tool	Stitching, vents and trim detail a mitt cannot reach	Any car, interior

Washing and Caring for Microfibre Madness Towels So They Keep Performing

A premium mitt washed the wrong way stops being a premium mitt within a handful of cycles. The fibre technology only holds up if the laundering routine respects it.

• No fabric softener, no powder detergent. Softener coats the fibres and kills absorbency; undissolved powder particles can sit in the pile and cause marring on the next use. Liquid detergent only, and skip detergent entirely on a wash-day dedicated solely to microfibre if you can.
• 30 to 40 degrees for routine washing. Keep it low. Heat above 40 degrees curls and fuses the fibre loops permanently, which shows up as a rough, crunchy feel that never recovers.
• Tumble dry on a no-heat or very low-heat cycle only, or air dry at room temperature. A standard heat-dry cycle does the same permanent damage as an over-hot wash.
• A dedicated microfibre wash restores towels that have started repelling water, a sign of product build-up coating the fibres. A hotter wash around 60 degrees with a microfibre-specific detergent is a corrective measure for that specific problem, not a routine setting.
• Keep a mitt or towel that has touched anything other than clean, protected paint out of the paint-only rotation for good, even after washing. Grit and hard residue picked up on a wheel, sill or workshop surface do not fully wash out and will cause fine swirling if that towel goes back onto bodywork.

Colour-coding your towels by job (one colour for wheels, one for bodywork, one for interior) is a simple habit that prevents most cross-contamination before it starts, and it works whether you launder everything together or keep separate loads. It pairs naturally with the wash and dry sequence in our guide to washing and drying your car like a pro.

Which Piece Should You Start With

If you only buy one thing from this range, make it the Incredimitt. It is the true all-rounder: safe on every finish from a neglected daily driver to a lightly maintained coated car, and it is the product the brand's whole reputation is built on.

• For a daily driver you wash weekly, start with the Incredimitt and a Dry Me Crazy.
• For a car with correction work or a ceramic coating already on it, add the Delimitt or Delipad rather than trusting a standard mitt.
• For an SUV, van or anything you cannot comfortably reach across, the Incredipole is worth the extra spend before anything else.
