Most drying towels talk about how fast they dry, but this is the fastest drying towel we have tested!

To put that in context, most standard microfiber drying towels are 300–500gsm. The higher gsm means more microfiber strands, more absorbency, and a deeper pile that lifts dirt away from your paint rather than dragging it across. The higher polyamide content gives the towel more softness and absorbency than cheaper 80\/20 alternatives, and the twisted loop weave pulls dirt up and away from the paint surface rather than dragging it across.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is hands down our favourite drying towel, and is seriously impressive.

In our testing we found going larger or heavier made the towel too hard to work with, especially when heavy with absorbed water. We found this size and weight to be the sweet spot of maximum absorbency without being too large or heavy when wet. Though we recommend using a dry cloth for each vehicle for best results, often we were able to dry 2 cars with the same cloth!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy twisted loop, not flat weave?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe long twisted loops increase surface area and create pockets that grab dirt and pull it away from the paint surface. On a flat weave towel, any remaining grit sits between the towel and your paint.
