How to Care for, Clean, and Seal Alcantara, Racetex, and Dinamica?

With Pike, the Detail Passion team is taking new directions. Observing that there is still significant "room for improvement" for various cleaning and paintwork tasks in the microfiber sector, they decided to develop a completely new cloth. It didn't seem sensible to represent a new development through East Asian suppliers, so they sought their fortune in Germany. The end result is a highly efficient multipurpose microfiber cloth named "Pike", which means pike in English: 100% Made in Germany! Detail Passion Pike Microfiber Cloth: 100% Made in Germany High-performance microfiber cloth: Made in Germany! Ideal for cleaning tasks, such as interior cleaning Perfect for removing polish residues due to high oil and polish absorption Thermally stabilized: Suitable for the dryer and on hot surfaces Novel matrix microfiber Size: 30 x 30cm Material weight: 325 GSM Material: 82% polyester, 18% polyamide Microfiber Cloths: Made in Germany When we first started dealing with high-quality microfiber cloths for car care about 5 years ago, it quickly became clear that the market is dominated by South Korean and Chinese factories. Almost all manufacturers produce according to guidelines. We have also followed this path with Detail Passion. Many customers have come to us with the glass cleaning cloth Plecos, the long-pile paint care cloth Hawk edgeless, the all-round cloth 2Face, and the Ceramic Buff series for processing ceramic coatings. We have been offering these cloths in consistent quality for years and maintain the best to friendly contacts with the contract factories. ... But! When we engage with something, we do not do it half-heartedly. During certain tasks, we noticed that things could be improved. After an intensive search, we found a production facility in Germany that could translate our observations and demands into a specialized fabric. Pike is our first and currently only microfiber cloth produced in Germany. We intentionally kept it slightly smaller, as we have always found the usual 40 x 40cm to be a bit too large for interior cleaning tasks. Since we control the manufacturing process ourselves, we will soon be able to introduce additional products based on this fiber. 100% Detail Passion: Honest, transparent, and fair Those who know us know that we operate 100% in the interest of our customers. Honesty, transparency, and fairness are not just buzzwords for us, but inseparable components of the Detail Passion DNA. Pike is, in this sense, also a statement: We commit to Germany as the production location when it is feasible and economically viable. Sticking the German flag on East Asian products simply does not align with Detail Passion.
