The Only 3 Towels You Actually Need to Detail Your Car
Tired of buying 10 different towels for detailing? You don’t need to. If you pick the right 3, you can handle every part of the car—without scratches, streaks, or confusion.
1. Massive Drying Towel – For Fast, Swirl-Free Drying
Oversized, ultra-absorbent, and buttery soft, this is the safest and fastest way to dry a vehicle after rinsing or foam washing. High GSM, high pile, and zero pressure needed.
2. Everyday Microfiber Towels – For Everything Else
This is the workhorse towel: great for interior cleaning, door jambs, glass, trim, and even general paint wipe-downs. It’s safe, effective, and affordable enough to stock in bulk.
3. Softer Than Soft Towels – For Coatings and Delicate Paint
When it comes to ceramic coating removal or working on soft or black paint, nothing beats this towel. Ultra-plush, edgeless, and lint-free. This is your premium detailing cloth.

Bonus Tip: Color Code Your Towels
Use one color for interiors, one for paint, and one for ceramic. This prevents cross-contamination and helps your towels last longer.
