Best Towels to Use After Foam Wash
What are the best towels to use after foam washing your car? In this guide, we show you exactly which towels deliver the safest, most effective drying and contact washing.
Why Your Towel Choice Matters
Using a foam cannon is one of the best ways to safely wash your car — but your towel choice after foaming is just as critical.
Choosing the wrong towel can:
- Cause scratches and swirls
- Leave behind lint or streaks
- Fail to dry your car effectively
Using the right towel will:
- Safely lift away dirt during contact washing
- Dry the car quickly and completely
- Protect your paint and coatings
Best Towels for Contact Washing After Foam
Orange Wash Microfiber Towel
For contact washing after foam application, the Orange Wash Microfiber Towel is unbeatable:
- Ultra-soft, high-pile 390 GSM design
- Safely lifts dirt and grime without scratching
- Perfect for delicate and coated surfaces
- Large 16x16 size → ideal for folding and flipping during the wash
- Edgeless construction → zero risk of edge scratching
Pair the Orange Wash Microfiber with a proper foam pre-soak and you’ll dramatically reduce the risk of wash-induced marring.

After rinsing the foam off your car, the right drying towel is essential.
