The Coating Towel is a specialised microfibre cloth for removing ceramic coatings and sealants — with a fibre structure that lifts the fresh coating film off the paint evenly and without streaking.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you lay down a ceramic coating, wiping off the excess film is the most critical step in the whole workflow: take it off too early and the coating film still drags, leaving wipe marks. Too late, and the cured film no longer comes off evenly — you get high spots that only come out with another round of polishing. The right cloth makes the difference in this phase: the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Coating Towel\u003c\/strong\u003e is a microfibre cloth built for the job, lifting the coating film off the paint evenly and streak-free within the right window. The fibre construction is tuned to coating work — soft enough not to tear at the fresh coating film, absorbent enough to pull the excess off completely. Available as a 6-pack for one-off use per car or a 50-pack for professional shops with high coating throughput.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecialised fibre structure for even removal of excess coating film with no high spots.\u003c\/strong\u003e The SONAX PROFILINE Coating Towel has a fibre geometry developed specifically for wiping coatings off: the fibre density and softness let you wipe the fresh SiO₂ or ceramic film off the paint evenly and without pressure points. The result is an even coating layer free of the dreaded high spots that show up with the wrong cloths when wipe pressure is uneven.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable as a 6-pack and a 50-pack — scales to any shop.\u003c\/strong\u003e The 6-pack is the ideal portion for single-car work: a fresh cloth per working zone per car, no risk of dragging coating between areas. The 50-pack is built for professional coating shops that seal several cars a day with ceramic or glass coating and need an economical stock on hand without constantly reordering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReusable after a proper wash with SONAX PROFILINE Microfibre Wash.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Coating Towel — with the right care — works for multiple uses. The catch is a thorough wash with a detergent that clears coating residue out of the microfibres without damaging the fibre construction. SONAX PROFILINE Microfibre Wash is the right partner: it dissolves even cured coating residue out of the fibres and restores the cloth's original absorbency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote class=\"praxistipp\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailing1's tip from the shop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always fold the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Coating Towel\u003c\/strong\u003e several times: fold a cloth once across and once lengthways and you get eight working faces — the fresh side up for every new wipe. As soon as one side is loaded with coating residue, refold and use the next clean side. That stretches how far one cloth goes per car and stops you smearing coating film you've already picked up. When you lift the coating film, work with light pressure in long, even passes in one direction — short, uneven wipes raise the high-spot risk. Right after the job, keep the cloth in a separate container away from your normal microfibres and wash it as soon as you can with SONAX PROFILINE Microfibre Wash — dried-on coating residue is far harder to get out than fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFibre construction and material properties — why the Coating Towel isn't your usual microfibre cloth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first time you hold the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Coating Towel\u003c\/strong\u003e, you spot the difference from a standard microfibre right away: the fibre structure is noticeably finer, the weave feels silkier, and the surface has a real evenness with no rougher zones or seams on the working face. None of that is by chance — it's the result of targeted material work for a job where ordinary cloths regularly fall short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Coating Towel\u003c\/strong\u003e isn't a re-badged standard microfibre — it's a specialist cloth developed for the specific demands of coating work. The difference comes down to three properties that together define whether a cloth is coating-ready: first, the fibre density, picked so the coating film gets picked up rather than pushed around and re-spread by the fibres. Too loose a weave shifts the liquid coating film too much and creates unevenness. Too dense a weave doesn't pick the film up efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond, the softness of the fibres: since ceramic coatings go on freshly polished, ready-to-seal paint, the Coating Towel has to work absolutely scratch-free on the surface. Hard fibres or seams on the working face would leave micro-scratches in the delicate early curing phase that show up as dull patches once everything's fully cured. The Coating Towel's fibres are certified soft for contact with coated paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThird, the absorbency: the Coating Towel has to be able to pull the coating excess off completely without giving it back to the paint. With a saturated cloth — when it's taken on too much coating — you switch to a fresh side or a fresh cloth. That's the main reason a decent supply of Coating Towels matters so much for a professional coating workflow: better one cloth too many on hand than risking high spots with a saturated one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRight use in the coating workflow — from application to the finished result\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Coating Towel\u003c\/strong\u003e sits in the SONAX PROFILINE coating workflow is clearly defined: it comes after the coating applicator and before the final level check. In detail: the coating goes on the paint with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-coatingapplicator-applikationspads\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE CoatingApplicator\u003c\/a\u003e, spread evenly, and then — within the window the maker recommends, typically 1–3 minutes depending on temperature and humidity — lifted off with the Coating Towel. The window is critical: during this phase the coating film is drawn thin and even across the paint surface, and the excess gets picked up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe removal sequence: fold the Coating Towel (set up eight working faces), first wipe across the coated area with light to medium pressure, working in even passes top to bottom or left to right. After each pass, flip the cloth or use the next fresh fold. On big panels (bonnet, roof), break the area into segments and lift it off segment by segment — don't try to do the whole panel at once, or you may run past the window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the first removal with the Coating Towel comes the level check with a fresh cloth face in direct light — raking light or a detailing light shows any leftover unevenness, which you can fix straight away with the Coating Towel while the film hasn't cured yet. Once fully cured (typically after 24–48 hours depending on the coating system), any leftover high spots only come out with another round of polishing — a fiddly step you avoid by using the Coating Towel properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and reusability of the Coating Towel — how long a cloth lasts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Coating Towel\u003c\/strong\u003e is built for repeated use — on one important condition: the right care after you've used it. Coating residue that dries into the cloth forms hard, crystalline structures that compromise the soft fibre structure next time out and, worst case, leave scratches on fresh paint. So if you just fold the cloth up after use and toss it in a box, you risk starting the next coating project with a damaged cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe right care starts right after the job: drop the cloth straight into a separate container away from your normal microfibres and polishing cloths. Coating residue can contaminate other cloths and lead to unwanted layers on other surfaces. Then wash it as soon as you can — fresh coating residue comes out far more easily than cured. \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-microfibre-wash-mikrofaserwaschmittel\"\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Microfibre Wash\u003c\/a\u003e is the recommended detergent partner: it's formulated for washing microfibres with specific chemical residue and dissolves ceramic leftovers out of the fibres too, without attacking the fibre structure. The wash temperature shouldn't go above 40°C, since high heat can damage the fibres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the right care, a SONAX PROFILINE Coating Towel will do 10–20 uses before the fibre quality noticeably drops off. That makes the cloth a genuinely sensible consumable despite the specialist job. In a professional shop, we recommend swapping the cloths out after a set number of uses rather than hanging on too long to a \"maybe still usable\" cloth — especially with ceramic coatings, which take hours of prep work, the removal cloth is the last link in a long quality chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCoating Towel for ceramic, glass coating and polymer sealants — the range of use at a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Coating Towel\u003c\/strong\u003e isn't tied to one specific coating system — it suits all SiO₂-based ceramic coatings, glass coatings and polymer sealants applied in liquid form and lifted off while fresh. That covers all SONAX PROFILINE CeramicCoating systems: \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-one-paint-keramikversiegelung\"\u003eCC One (Paint)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-pro-paint-keramikversiegelung\"\u003eCC Pro (Paint)\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-ceramiccoating-cc-evo-zwei-stufen-keramikversiegelung\"\u003eCC Evo (two-stage)\u003c\/a\u003e are the direct system partners the Coating Towel is specified as the recommended removal cloth for. It's also the right removal cloth for CC Rim (wheel sealant), CC HeadlightCoating (headlight sealant) and CC Vinyl+PPF (film sealant).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the SONAX PROFILINE spray sealants (SpeedProtect, Spray+Seal, Ceramic SprayCoating, BrilliantShine Detailer) the Coating Towel works too, even if standard microfibres would do in most cases here — the spray sealants ask less of the removal cloth than curing ceramic coatings do. For the heavy-duty coating systems CC Pro and CC Evo, with their longer cure times and thicker layers, the specialist Coating Towel is clearly the better call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn other surfaces — glass, wheels, plastic — the Coating Towel works as well, as long as the applied substance is meant to come off while fresh. For glass care with SONAX PROFILINE Glass Detailer or similar products, though, the SONAX PROFILINE Microfibre Cloth Glass is the better fit, since it's tuned for streak-free glass cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy the SONAX PROFILINE Coating Towel — quantity planning and usage guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSONAX PROFILINE Coating Towel\u003c\/strong\u003e comes in two pack sizes: 6 for flexible one-off or occasional use, and 50 for professional shops with high coating throughput. Which pack size is right depends on the work you've got planned. For a detailing enthusiast or smaller shop sealing one to three cars a month with ceramic coating, the 6-pack is the right call: the demand for Coating Towels is manageable, and six cloths cover two to three cars no problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor professional coating shops sealing several cars a day or a week with coating systems, the 50-pack is the more economical choice. The price advantage over the 6-pack is significant, and a decent cloth supply stops you running out of material mid-session. If you go through three to four Coating Towels per car (depending on car size and how much you're coating) and coat five cars a week, a 50-pack keeps you covered for two to three weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuantity planning tip: for each vehicle segment (e.g. just paint areas without trim), plan for at least two cloths — one for the removal, one for the check and touch-up. For a compact car with full coating (paint, glass, wheels), four to six cloths is realistic planning. The SONAX PROFILINE Coating Towel is a consumable that directly affects the quality of the coating result — skimping on the cloth here raises the risk of high spots and rework, which costs far more than an extra cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SONAX","offers":[{"title":"6 pieces","offer_id":57345154974031,"sku":"D1-SNX-4511000","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 pieces","offer_id":57345155006799,"sku":"D1-SNX-4513410","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/3272\/7375\/files\/sonax-profiline-coating-towel_50-stueck.png?v=1774736529","url":"https:\/\/detailing1depot.com\/en\/products\/sonax-profiline-coating-towel-mikrofasertuch","provider":"Detailing1","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
