Silk Drying Towel Microfibre Towel

This extra-large, 920 x 620mm premium towel has been engineered to glide freely across all exterior surfaces, quickly absorbing any water and impurities, and storing them deep within the fibres, far away from the most sensitive paint and gloss plastic finishes.

While often overlooked, drying glass, paintwork and trim after every wash is crucial to prevent the spotting caused by the mineral deposits in tap water (the water you’ve likely used to clean your vehicle), this can be especially prevalent in hard water areas. Unlike rainwater, which is relatively pure, these impurities are nearly always present in unfiltered tap water and leaving your vehicle to air-dry will quickly transfer these heavy deposits onto all exterior surfaces. In some cases, particularly on paintwork, polishing may be required to remove this type of contamination. Using a dedicated, and super-absorbent, microfibre drying towel while the vehicle is still wet and impurities remain dissolved in the water is the only way to effectively absorb these minerals, keeping them away from surfaces to eliminate the risk of inflicting defects.

Safe, non-scratching and extremely effective on all exterior surfaces, the Silk Drying Towel is constructed from twist loop microfibre to offer the fastest and most efficient moisture absorption, without the risk of abrading paintwork or any previously-applied protection layers. Although we use the word ‘microfibre’ as generalised term for the material, it actually refers to the individual fibres within the material itself. By definition, a microfibre must be finer than 1 denier, and we use fibres around 0.2 denier (about 200 times thinner than a human hair). These individual fibres are like tiny hooks that can hold onto moisture, and they’re split during the manufacturing process making them finer, giving them a larger effective surface area (making them even more absorbent), and then woven into the final material pattern.

Our Silk Drying Towel uses a twisted loop pattern, which refers to a special type of surface weave where ultra-deep pile fibres are bundled together, compacted and arranged as long, twisted fingers designed for the maximum possible surface area. This further increases the material’s ability for quickly absorbing and holding onto water, making the Silk not just the fastest and most efficient dryer on all vehicle surfaces, but large enough to complete almost any vehicle, without the need for a second towel. To learn more about microfibre construction, and how different types of pattern work, see our article – Microfibre Car Cloths.

Complete with a scratch-less, micro suede edging – which has been machine stitched for maximum durability - the Silk Drying Towel safely tackles everything from glass and trim, to more sensitive surfaces like paintwork, vinyl wraps and gloss plastics, gliding with a minimum of effort and actively absorbing moisture and mineral impurities, without merely pushing them across surfaces.

This car detailing and valeting essential is also durable enough for repeated machine washing, making it suitable for use over and over again.
