Best Towel to Dry a Black Car Without Scratching
Black paint shows everything—swirls, streaks, even leftover water droplets. That’s why choosing the right towel for drying is one of the most important decisions you can make when detailing a black vehicle.
Here’s what to look for in a drying towel and why the wrong one can leave you with micro-marring and headaches.
Why Drying a Black Car Is So Tricky
Black paint doesn’t hide imperfections—it highlights them. Any friction, pressure, or low-quality towel can leave fine scratches that show up under sunlight or shop lights.
That’s why it’s important to use an ultra-soft, high-pile microfiber towel that can lift water off the surface without dragging grit or causing damage.
