Please note: This towel is currently manufactured with an 80/20 blend (80% polyester, 20% polyamide). While still a high-quality drying towel, the 80/20 ratio provides slightly less absorbency and softness compared to a 70/30 blend. Customers who prioritise maximum scratch protection and absorbency may want to consider the Rockcar Performer Drying Towel instead.

The Woolly Mammoth is one of the largest microfiber drying towels available — an oversized 36" × 25" slab with a full 1" pile depth designed to dry an entire vehicle in a single pass. Its generous size, deep fibers, and silk-banded edges make it a practical upgrade over standard 16" × 16" microfiber towels.

Use this towel to:

• Dry an entire car in just one pass
• Hold close to a gallon of water before wringing
• Get a perfect streak-free, lint-free shine
• Trap leftover dirt deep within the fibers
• Make short work of large-scale detailing jobs

Lint-free & scratch-free drying

Just like a woolly mammoth, this towel is gigantic! Normal microfiber towels are 16" × 16"; the Woolly Mammoth is an enormous 36" × 25" × 1". The 1" deep pile traps remaining dirt away from your paintwork, and premium silk banding along all four edges means no hard nylon edges that can scratch — for a safe, scratch-free finish across paint, glass, and trim.

Looking for the best possible scratch protection?

The Rockcar Performer Drying Towel uses a superior 70/30 blend (70% polyester, 30% polyamide) and weighs in at 1100gsm — more than double the Woolly Mammoth's 450gsm. That extra weight is pure microfiber: more absorbency, more softness, and more pile depth to lift dirt away from your paint rather than dragging it across. It is also our highest-rated and best-selling drying towel.

How to care for it

1. Separate microfiber towels by type into designated wash and dry loads.

3. Use 1 oz for small loads, 2 oz for medium, 3+ oz for large loads.
4. Machine dry on low heat only.
5. Do not use fabric softeners or dryer sheets — they clog microfiber strands.
