The Rag Company - The Gauntlet Microfiber Drying Towel - 30in x 36in - Grey

Top

For car detailing

This towel works amazingly well, to dry of suv, well worth the extra money.

Does exactly as described. Dried the whole car without having to wring it out. I can’t believe how quickly I was able to dry the car. Was recommended by a car detailer and I was sceptical but this is a game changer. I purchased the largest size and I’ve ditched the chamois! Well worth it.

This review is for the 30" x 36" The Gauntlet Microfiber Drying Towel from The Rag Company. I've been using microfiber for years of various qualities and grades, and I have amassed a garage full of car care products over the years. I was looking for the absolute best drying towel that I could find for my car. I wanted something that was plush, extremely absorbent, and had some weight to it so that I could drag it over non-flat surfaces to absorb the water. I also of course wanted something that wasn't going to leave streaks of water behind. I did a lot of searching and going through many reviews. The absolute best drying towel I found was The Gauntlet. It does the job flawlessly. I am able to drag the towel across the car and absorb all the water without leaving streaks in just a single pass. I had no problem drying my car with just this single 30" x 36" towel. The plushness made it easy to dry vents, slats, and wipe down edges. I also very much like that each side is a different color. It is a nice convenient feature as you can keep track of which side you have been using so far. The towel felt like it weight about 5 lbs after I was done drying my car. This towel could have absorbed more water, as no matter how hard I squeezed or tried to ring it out not a single drop of water came out. I have seen multiple review where people were able to dry their entire car with just one of the smaller 20" x 30" sizes, and I fully believe it. I recommend consider the size and weight after it absorbs water, and go with the size you prefer. Pretty much all microfiber will work better after the first wash or two. This is so that any potential loose dyes come out, removes any potential residue/contaminants from manufacturing/shipping, and also opens up the microfibers. This will increase its cleaning and absorbency and reduce the potential for any dye transfer. Always be sure to wash microfiber only with other microfiber and to follow all directions. Microfiber gets ruined if you use fabric softener or if you dry it with heat that it can't withstand.
