[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

This drying towel is amazing. We can dry a large truck and a car with the same towel. It hardly feels wet at all. No streaks or lint! It works so well I bought one for my son to dry his big rig. He loves it!

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.

Super soft towel used for detailing. It really absorbs all the in one or two passes. Very durable also.

This is the best towel I have ever used. I have a full sized F150 4dr and I can dry the entire truck with one towel. It absorbs the water so well I have no idea how it does but it does!!! A++++

Best towel I ever bought for drying your car/truck.

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.

I tried this towel out (using a friends to wash one of my cars) and was impressed enough - with what I saw and how effusive my friend was about his experiences with the Dreadnaught XL - that I purchased two for use on my 2XXL truck. One towel and it was dry - drier than when using chamois (repeatedly wringing them out) and smaller/inferior micofiber towels. You like to pamper your car or truck by handwashing? Get this.

This towel is the best for drying hands down, it does my f150 and then some. It’s amazingly absorbent and couldn’t be happier with the results. I use the towel with some spray wax as a drying aid and the truck come out awesome! Very happy

It’s a good towel, seems to be very absorbing and I am able to dry my entire SUV completely. Is it $30 good? I’m not sure if the expense out Weighs the benifits. Take $15 off, I would buy more

Ive been hearing so many good things about this towel so i decided to give this a try....and this towel exceeded my expectations...i have a mid size SUV and this towel dried my entire car...it would even have dried other car without having to be wrung out...picked up all water just dragging it across car with no water spots. If u decide to give this towel a try you will not regret it. Hope this helps someone Have a Blessed Day
