Amongst those tools the drying towel is a must-have. Read our top tips 3 tips and give your car the treatment it needs this Summer.
TOP 3
1. Prevents Water Spots
One of the primary advantages of using a drying towel is its ability to prevent water spots. When water evaporates from your car’s surface, it leaves behind mineral deposits that form unsightly spots. A high-quality drying towel can quickly and efficiently absorb water, minimizing the risk of these deposits forming, especially relevant during the summer months.
2. Protects the Paintwork
Car paint can be delicate, so aggressive drying methods can lead to scratches and swirl marks. Drying towels are typically made from soft, absorbent materials like microfiber, which are gentle on the car’s surface. Unlike chamois or regular towels, drying towels glide smoothly over the paint, reducing the risk of damage.
3. Time-Saving
Drying towels are designed to absorb large amounts of water and residue making the drying process faster and more efficient. With a good drying towel, you can cover more surface area in less time – essential in the coming summer months when the air temperature will dry the surface water quicker!
WE LIKE
For best results, we opt for a twist loop microfiber towel with superior absorbency and a fine gentle touch you can ‘drag and dry’ in no time.
Try Sansom car care. http://www.sansom.co.uk the Fluff Daddy, couple this with their smaller waffle weave Diamond Dryer for those door handles and fiddlier areas and you are all set. Or the Car Pro Hydrate drying towel through https://www.slimsdetailing.co.uk with a Martin Cox waffle quick dry.
REMEMBER…
These towels are durable and can withstand numerous drying uses without losing their effectiveness. When they look a bit dirty we suggest putting them through the washing machine on a rinse and spin cycle without detergent, this will remove any dirty residue, without effecting the properties of the fibres, then simply air dry.
