Pearl Knit

A pearl knit microfibre cloth has a tight weave of short, rounded loops that look a little like small pearls. Compared with a general terry cloth, it has a shorter nap and more grip, which makes it better at lifting and trapping polish, compound, wax and coating residue without leaving lint.

Pearl knit cloths are mainly used in paint correction to remove compound and polish residue, and to level and remove ceramic coatings on paint, glass, wheels and headlights. They are also useful for removing sealants, interior cleaning and dusting, and wiping stone and kitchen surfaces.

Use a pearl knit or other short nap cloth for heavier work, such as compound, polish and coating removal, where you need grip. Use a plush cloth for the final buff, quick detailer and wax removal, where you want maximum softness. Many detailers use a pearl cloth first, then follow with a plush cloth for the final wipe.

Yes. Our Korean Edgeless Pearl cloth is made from a soft 70/30 Korean microfibre blend with an ultrasonic cut edge, so there are no hard edges or tags to mar the paint. Use light pressure, fold the cloth into quarters and turn to a clean side often. Always start with a clean cloth on clean paint.

Choose the Korean Edgeless Pearl 325gsm 40x40cm cloth for paint correction and coating work on cars, where an edgeless, premium Korean cloth gives the safest finish. Choose the Pink Pearl 300gsm 50x50cm cloth for a larger cloth at a lower price, suited to general polish removal, interiors and multi purpose cleaning.

Wash pearl knit cloths separately from cotton and from heavily soiled wheel cloths, in warm water with a microfibre detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach, because they clog the fibres. Line dry or tumble dry on low heat. Cloths used for ceramic coating should be thrown out once the coating cures in them.
