Car Drying Towels
Dry Guy is 1200 GSM twisted loop microfibre that lifts water off the panel instead of pushing it around, so there is no wringing and no swirl marks. The XL takes a whole car in about 90 seconds, the Mini does the shuts and the gaps, and the Double Pack is how we actually dry a car in the studio.
New to it? How to dry your car without swirl marks is the method we use, and the five mistakes we see most often.
Common questions
How is a drying towel different from a chamois?
A chamois has almost no pile, so grit sits between it and your paint and you have to drag and wring it constantly. Twisted loop microfibre lifts the water up into the pile and holds the grit away from the panel. It is also about four times faster.
Which size do I need?
The XL, 90 x 60cm, does the panels and will dry a whole car in about 90 seconds. The Mini, 40 x 40cm, does the door shuts, mirrors and badges that drip onto a panel you already dried. Most people end up with both, which is why we sell the Double Pack.
Will one towel dry a whole car?
A small car, yes, if you rinsed properly first. A wagon, a ute or a 4WD is more realistic with two, or with a fold to a fresh face halfway through.
How do I wash it?
On its own, warm, plain detergent, no fabric softener. Softener coats the fibres and kills the absorbency. Air dry or tumble on low.
Can I use it on a ceramic coated car?
Yes. It is what we dry coated customer cars with. If anything a coated car is easier, because most of the water sheets off before the towel touches it.
