Best Towels to Use After Foam Cannon Washing

So you’ve foamed and rinsed your car—now what? The towels you use next can make or break your results. Here’s how to choose the best ones for contact washing and drying without scratching your paint.

Why Your Towels Matter

After the foam stage, your car is clean but still vulnerable. If you use low-quality or dirty towels, you can undo all your work by adding swirls or water spots. The right towels help preserve your finish and speed up the process.

Best Towel for Contact Washing: Orange Wash Microfiber

The Orange Wash Microfiber Towel is our go-to for contact washing after foam dwell time. It features:

• Ultra-soft, high-pile fibers to trap dirt safely
• 390 GSM for the perfect balance of absorbency and control
• Edge-free design to reduce scratches

Use it after foaming to gently glide over panels and remove any leftover film or grime.

Best Towel for Drying: Massive Drying Towel

The Massive Drying Towel is designed to absorb tons of water fast without dragging across the paint. It features:

• Twisted loop construction for maximum absorption
• Extra-large size to dry full panels in one pass
• Gentle fibers that leave no lint, streaks, or marring

After rinsing, lay the towel flat, pat dry, or gently drag it across panels for a spotless finish.

Pro Tip: Use Separate Towels for Washing and Drying

Never mix up your towels. Keep your wash towels (like the Orange Wash Microfiber) separate from your drying towels. And always wash them with a dedicated microfiber-safe detergent to keep them soft and absorbent.
