How to Use the Massive Drying Towel for Fast, Safe Drying
Drying your car doesn’t need to take forever — or leave swirl marks. Here’s how to make the most of the Massive Drying Towel to get a spotless finish in no time.
Why the Right Drying Towel Matters
Using a low-quality towel — or worse, a chamois — can create swirl marks and leave behind water spots. That’s why a thick, plush towel like the Massive Drying Towel is a game-changer. It pulls water away from the surface and holds it deep in the fibers.
Step-by-Step: How to Use the Massive Drying Towel
- Blow out crevices first with a Ryobi Blower to avoid drips later.
- Lay the towel flat on the panel — no bunching or balling it up.
- Drag gently across the surface using little to no pressure.
- Flip the towel when it becomes saturated, or switch to a second towel for full coverage.
- Use a smaller towel like the Everyday Microfiber to dry wheels, door jambs, or touch-up spots.

- Avoid using the towel on dry dirt or dusty surfaces. Always rinse first.
- Pair with a quality ceramic spray like Tough As Shell to reduce water spotting.

What makes the Massive Drying Towel better than regular towels?
Its ultra-soft, high-pile microfiber traps water deep in the fibers, preventing streaks and reducing the risk of scratching your paint.
Should I blot or drag the towel?
You can gently drag it flat over the surface, or blot in high-gloss or delicate areas. Always use minimal pressure.
