Drying your car is one of the times that swirls and scratches can be introduced. It is then vital to have a good quality drying towel or drying cloth to not scratch your car's paintwork. Ultimate Finish offer a variety of drying towels with soft high GSM microfibre, absorbent waffle weaves and even synthetic chamois.
Use your car drying towel to absorb the remaining water from the rinse phase on paintwork, wheels, glass and trim to leave you with a streak free finish. Many modern drying cloths also have advance construction within their materials to offer you both a softer and more absorbent cloth, but at the same time, being able to deal with many machine washes and uses.
What is a twist drying towel?
Twist or knotted pile such as the Dodo Juice Dry Hard are the most absorbent microfibre towels for their weight and giving the best swirl protection.
What size drying towel do I need?
Bigger is not always better. We recommend having a couple of different size drying towels, those larger versions 60cm+ for tackling the large panels with a pat or drag drying method. A smaller drying towel to do lower seals and bumpers. Not only does this dedicate a drying towel to the potential dirtier areas, stopping the swirls over the rest of the car, but also you are less likely to drag the drying cloth across the floor by accident. Augtoglym InstaDry at around 40cm squared is a previous Auto Express winner, perfect for those more intricate areas and lower parts of your vehicle.
How do I dry a motorbike?
Large drying towels are generally too clumsy to dry off a motorbike, stick with a smaller drying towel such as the UF Ultra-Soft Microfibre Drying Towel Junior. Alternatively look for a hand held blow dryer to blast the water out from all the gaps.
