Why Your Drying Towel Matters (And What to Look For)
Drying your car might seem simple—grab a towel and wipe, right? But the towel you use can make or break your detail.
The wrong towel = swirls, streaks, and frustration. The right towel = faster drying, no scratches, and a flawless finish.
What Can Go Wrong With the Wrong Towel?
- ❌ Micro-marring and swirls from rough or low-quality fabric
- ❌ Streaks and water spotting from poor absorption
- ❌ Dragging water instead of picking it up
- ❌ Wasting time using multiple towels or rewiping panels
What to Look for in a Drying Towel
1. Plush, High-GSM Microfiber
The higher the GSM (grams per square meter), the more absorbent and gentle the towel. Look for something soft and thick—not a cheap microfiber or chamois.
2. Large Size for Efficiency
A proper drying towel should handle an entire panel—or even the whole car—without needing constant wringing.
3. Edgeless or Soft Edges
Stitched edges or plastic tags can scratch. Go for laser-cut or silk-edged towels designed specifically for drying paint safely.
