Are The Detail Co. Towels Actually Better? What Our Side-by-Side Tests Show
Are The Detail Co. towels really better? We tested them side by side with Jimbo’s Detailing towels. Here’s what really matters—and which towels deliver better results.
Why This Test?
The Detail Co. is marketing their towels as **premium and unique**—with a big push on social media and YouTube influencers.
But are they actually better than towels built and tested by a brand like **Jimbo’s Detailing**?
We bought several of their popular towels and tested them head to head against Jimbo’s Detailing towels.
What We Tested
The Detail Co.:
- Edgeless 500+ GSM towels

Jimbo’s Detailing:
Material & Build Quality
- The Detail Co.: Towels sourced from known overseas suppliers—same factory designs used by many private label brands.
- Jimbo’s Detailing: Towels carefully selected through hands-on testing. Built for **paint safety and long-term durability.**
Performance on Paint
- The Detail Co.: Initial softness was good—but edge curling and some marring seen on soft black paint after a few washes.
- Jimbo’s Detailing: Softer Than Soft performed flawlessly on delicate paint, piano trim, and gloss plastics—even after repeated washing.
Drying Towels
- The Detail Co.: Very absorbent, but became extremely heavy and draggy on larger vehicles. Not ideal for pro workflows.
- Massive Drying Towel: Exceptional balance of absorbency and glide—remains easy to handle even when fully loaded with water.
Price & Value
- The Detail Co.: Premium pricing on mass-market towels—adds cost without delivering superior performance.
- Jimbo’s Detailing: Honest pricing—selected and tested towels that deliver **true pro-level results** without inflated hype.
