Most drying towels talk about how fast they dry, but this is the fastest drying towel we have tested! It is amazingly absorbent, but more importantly it does not scratch the surface and has a long, super soft twisted loop weave to avoid dragging any grit or dirt across the paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rockcar Performer uses a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e70\/30 blend\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e— 70% polyester and 30% polyamide — and weighs in at\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1100gsm\u003c\/strong\u003e. 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. On this towel it gets lifted up into the pile — significantly reducing the risk of micro-scratches during drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to care for it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine wash separately from other laundry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash in warm water — avoid hot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not use fabric softeners or dryer sheets — they clog microfiber strands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTumble dry on low heat or air dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep away from Velcro, rough surfaces, or abrasive materials in the wash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"2217\" data-start=\"2199\" data-section-id=\"t8v6uo\"\u003eMicrofiber Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"2378\" data-start=\"2219\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2255\" data-start=\"2219\" data-section-id=\"1tfra54\"\u003eWash separately from cotton towels and lint-producing fabrics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2273\" data-start=\"2256\" data-section-id=\"153bupj\"\u003eWash at 30–40°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2298\" data-start=\"2274\" data-section-id=\"1ivu2dd\"\u003eAvoid fabric softeners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2326\" data-start=\"2299\" data-section-id=\"1tjz9fg\"\u003eTumble dry low or air dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2378\" data-start=\"2327\" data-section-id=\"9n4o1m\"\u003eUse dedicated microfiber detergent where possible our pick is \u003ca title=\"We recomend washing microfiber towels with a dedicated microfiber cleaner, our pick is fireball towel clean\" href=\"https:\/\/lovecars.co.nz\/products\/new-fireball-towel-cleaner\"\u003eFireball Towel  Cleaner\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2471\" data-start=\"2380\"\u003eFor full microfiber washing and care instructions, read our complete \u003ca title=\"How To Wash Microfiber Cloths Properly, The Truth About Heat, Detergents for 70\/30 Korean Microfiber Towels\" href=\"https:\/\/lovecars.co.nz\/blogs\/training\/how-to-wash-microfiber-cloths-properly\"\u003eMicrofiber Care Guide\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"The Rockcar Performer is the best drying towel we have had\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/2946\/8408\/files\/20231225_083756_600x600.jpg?v=1704343764\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/2946\/8408\/files\/20231225_083624_2048x2048.jpg?v=1704343807\" alt=\"We love the new Rockcar Performer Drying towel!\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/2946\/8408\/files\/20231225_083731_1024x1024.jpg?v=1704343707\" alt=\"We were super impressed with the new performer drying towel from Rockcar, it is so absorbent and soft\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMicro fiber, micro-fiber, microfiber \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RockCar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43350741582072,"sku":"M242T","price":49.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/2946\/8408\/products\/rockcar-performer-drying-towel-main.jpg?v=1776080536"},{"product_id":"chemical-guys-water-spot-remover","title":"Chemical Guys Heavy Duty Water Spot Remover – 473ml","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"881\" data-start=\"566\"\u003eChemical Guys Heavy Duty Water Spot Remover is one of the most effective products we’ve tested for removing stubborn mineral deposits from paint, glass, chrome, and polished metal.

It's like exfoliating your paint. Paint is porous, just like your skin, and over time contaminants like industrial fallout, brake dust, tree sap and road grime embed themselves into the pores. A clay bar is a sticky, pliable substance that grabs those contaminants and pulls them out — leaving paint that feels genuinely smooth, looks better, and is properly prepared for whatever you want to apply next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Rockcar Heavy Clay is the most aggressive grade in the range. It removes the most contamination and works the fastest — but it carries a higher marring risk than the light or medium bars. This is not the clay to reach for if you're new to detailing or working on paint you're not planning to polish. It's the right choice when you're doing a full professional decontamination and correction job, and polishing is already on the plan. The marring it may leave behind will come out in the polish — and the paint underneath will be as clean and bare as it gets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBe honest with yourself about which clay you need.\u003c\/strong\u003e For most cars in most conditions, the medium bar is the better choice.

Takes more passes than the medium but is the right call when the paint doesn't need anything heavier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e○  \u003c\/b\u003eMedium — the workhorse. Right for most cars in most conditions. Faster than the light, removes more contamination, still safe for careful use without follow-up polishing on most paint types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e🔴 Heavy — reserved for serious contamination. Industrial fallout, heavy tar, overspray, cars that haven't been properly decontaminated in years. Maximum removal, higher marring risk. This bar assumes polishing is already in the plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhy clay before waxing or coating?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCoatings bond to bare paint. If your paint is contaminated, your coating bonds to the contamination — not the paint itself. It won't last, and it won't perform the way it should. Clay first, coat second. Every time. This is not a step you skip if you want the job done properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAbout the lube:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Autostolz Quick Detailer \u0026amp; Clay Lube is the lube we trust alongside our clay bars. Formulated for maximum lubrication without breaking down the clay or leaving any residue behind. No wax, no sealant, nothing added to the paint — the surface stays completely bare and ready to bond. The best choice when preparing for ceramic coating. Antistatic formula helps slow dust re-accumulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAbout the cloths:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Pegasus is our finest cloth.
