The Rag Company - The Gauntlet Drying Towel - 70/30 Blend Korean Microfiber, Designed to Dry Vehicles Faster, More Thoroughly & More Gently Than Others, 900gsm, 20in x 30in, Ice Grey + Grey

Love this product started washing my suburban at the house

This review is for the 30 x 36 The Gauntlet Microfiber Drying Towel from The Rag Company. Ive 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 wasnt 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 cant withstand.

Im giving 4 star because of the lint.

It works as expected. Well made product

I was worried when I received these that they were too small to dry an entire vehicle. I was totally wrong - one towel dried my entire 4Runner. Ive used much bigger towels in the past that never managed to finish the entire job without leaving streaks or becoming too soaked to be effective. This towel didnt even seem to be close to being soaked after doing the entire vehicle. I am sold on these - my other drying towels will be shifted to less glamorous tasks.

Absorbs semi-good. Over priced towel.

This thing performs amazing, doesnt really get any fibers caught when moving across emblems and such. When damp & absorbent, the towel sticks to the paint a bit hard. If you lay the towel on your hood and drag it down to the grill, you have to pull it somewhat hard. Its hard to wring out but it can do a full vehicle with no wring, or one wring out

Super absorbent soft love it

Perfect drying towel for cars. I bought a 20x30 which is good for a midsized sedan. Problem: towards the end of the drying job the towel saturates and leaves a wet film of water on the car. The towel is difficult to wring out the water and its best put it in a dryer. The 30x36 would be better I think, but too large and difficult to control while the drying of a car. I recommend buying two 20x30, one for each hand. This solves the problems I described above.

I was able to dry my car with just one towel. It absorbs quite a bit of water. I would definitely recommend it.
