Perfect for drying your car fast.
Size: 1 Pack (24" x 36")
Very soft and absorbent. No worrying about scratching the paint. I have a Mustang and wash it by hand frequently. This saves me time when drying without water spots.

Quality towel no surprise from chemical guys
Size: 1 Pack (24" x 36")
Great towel! I just used it today on my F150 and the small Jeep Cherokee Latitude. Worked great and I didn’t need to wring it out at all it soaks up water quickly and doesn’t leave streaks. I was able to kinda of throw it on the windshield of my truck and pull it, it immediately soaked up water. Well worth the money

Never Had a Towel Like This
Size: 1 Pack (24" x 36")
Although I've bought many "premium" drying towels, none come even close to this one. It is effortless, no pressure needed to dry. If it touches a drop of water, it's gone. I dried a full size SUV top to bottom, and the towel barely felt damp. It even pulls water out from between body panels. Yes it does cost a lot, but I'm blown away by how quick this does the job. If you wash your car, you need this. My wife even asked if they make one like this for drying dogs. Would probably work great, but she can't have this one.
