[Dreadnought XL] Microfiber Car-Drying Towel, Superior Absorbency for Drying Cars, Trucks, and SUVs, Double-Twist Pile, One-Pass Vehicle-Drying Towel (20x40, Red/Gray) 1-Pack

So everybody remembers Vince the smooth talking pitchman for such lovely products as the SlapChop COMINHKPR119445 and the infamous ShamWow B07CND4MCC commercials?! Well the folks over AutoFiber should put old Vince on the YouTube pitching a commercial for the Dreadnought, because everything the ShamWow wants to be in the auto detailing world. The Dreadnought actually is. Im a little blown away by how fast I just dried my car without having to wring it out or wipe it down multiple times. For reference I drive a Model S so its a pretty large sedan, lots of glass lots of horizontal and vertical metal. After I finished two bucket (rinse and soap buckets) wash using the B08YNH338M ( https://www.amazon.com/Autofiber-Wash-Monster-Plush-Blue/dp/B08YNH338M/ref=sr_1_27?dchild=1&keywords=autofiber&qid=1627849381&sr=8-27 ) Autofiber [Wash Monster] Plush Car Wash Pad <Check out my review for that wash pad another fantastic product, using the product link> I gave the car a good rinse and whipped out the Dreadnought. I have to say I wasnt sure what to expect. Ive been using shammy (chamois) style drying towels for years and I have been combating scratches and swirls for years, thus the switch. From what I have learned from auto detailing videos is that you are just supposed to lay the towel flat on the car grab 2 corners and just pull it over the car to dry it. So I did just that and whatever water it makes contact with it absorbs instantly. No streaks, no towel wringing, no scratches or swirls. Just dry so that no water spotting or streaking could possibly happen. Its not magic folks Dreadnought towel is very dense, double sided - this is important because as one side get saturated you can flip it over and continue drying-, low pile, and not grabby at all. Well not grabby against your skin it has no problem grabbing water. The towel is sewn so it has no seams, edges or ribbons to trap dirt particles to scratch paint and no tags (FINALLY!) I dried my car so fast it almost felt wrong but dread noght my dear friends this drying towel works exactly as advertised. If you are a professional detailer or a DIY driveway detailer alike look no further this is what you are looking for. Remember proper towel care is important for maintaining a scratch free finish when drying. After use be sure to inspect all of your wash and dry towels and if they have grit or filth in them wash them in between uses. Get the good detergent the stuff for hypochondriacs. You want dye free, and perfume free. Nothing extra. NO FABRIC SOFTENER, cold water preferred (maximum of warm water) extra rinse and air dry. No fabric softener sheets the silicone in those things ruin towels and if youve ever used dryer sheets in your clothes dryer your detailing towels should never go in that dryer EVER. If your towels are particularly filthy or gritty you can mix in some washing soda with your load as a booster. Washing soda, also called soda ash, is sodium carbonate (chemical formula Na2CO3), it is a highly alkaline chemical compound of water-soluble sodium salt of carbonic acid. Its proportions of sodium, carbon, and oxygen make it effective as a natural cleaner and cleaning booster. Grab a clean bucket put a couple gallons of hot water in the bucket and add a proportionate amount for the amount of water you machine uses. High Efficiency and Front loaders need less washing soda than tub style washers. No need to get crazy, yes Im talking to you, use a scoop. Dissolve the washing soda fully and then add it to your washing machines water. This ensures no grit gets trapped in your micofibers because it has been previously dissolved. Let the water cool before mixing with towels or mix into load of cold water. Hot water is not good for microfiber.

So I bought two of these mainly because my Passat doesnt really let go of water very easily and I heard these do a fantastic job. I WAS BLOWN AWAY by how good they are. I honestly think I couldve done my entire car with one, but I did two just to really make sure. You just lay it out on the panel and drag it across, and bam it gets all the water. Never did I feel like the towel was going to scratch my car and it didnt leave any streaks. Would definitely pick these up again, my only complaint was that it did catch a little bit on the corner of an emblem and pull a strand but I just snipped it and it seems fine.

I am able to dry a vehicle spot free with this towel one section at a time. No need to wring out. Just tackle one panel at a time and the car is dry free of spots. Should have bought this years ago!

Most absorbent material ever! After watching a video about this product, and reading many reviews, I went ahead and purchased. I have a 2022 Dodge Ram, 6 3 bed, and a single Dreadnought XL and two Dreadnought Jrs throughly dried my entire truck. Done. Well worth the expense.

My son-in-law loves this towel. He specifically asked for it for Christmas. He raves about how great it is to the rest of the family. He has a couple of antique cars, so he is very particular about what he uses on them.

These are the best towels to use for drying. We have large a SUV and trucks and we only need one towel to do do the whole vehicle. Would highly recommend this product.

I use this on my matte grey finished Ioniq 5 and it is easier to use and better than any towel Ive ever used. Ill be ordering another one because one towel covers 75% of my car before it is totally saturated.

Very nice. Ive used many different towels and so far this ones the best!

Little known fact, but one of these towels was used by Moses when fleeing from the Egyptians a few years ago. The Israelites needed to escape but were trapped at the water’s edge, but Big Mo slapped one of these down and it soaked up the entire Red Sea.

Performs as described one swipe and dry no streaking. Can dry my whole car without wringing out . Seems well made great value .
