    CarPro introduced this drying towel around mid 2018. It is a dual side microfiber drying towel. One side is the plush twist loop microfiber material that is used to dry the painted surfaces. The other side is a flat woven nap that is reserved for drying glass to avoid streaking.



    This is the large size at 28 inches x40 inches. The flat nap side has the newest CarPro logo imprinted on it.



    I placed the towel flat on the front glass of my 2002 Camaro to show how large the towel is.



    I did not take any other photos so the video will have to show it’s effectiveness of how well it removes water from the surface.

    Final thoughts:

    I have been using this towel for a few washes and it does a good job. This size towel is enough to dry my 1999 Grand Prix which is a mid size sedan and enough to dry my brothers 2018 Equinox. The dual side serves it purpose. It dries the glass to a streak free finish with one pass. The plush side absorbs water and is soft to not damage the paint while drying. The orange border is suede and it will not damage the paint either.

    The material is similar in it being a twist loop like the Griot’s PFM, the Gyeon Silk Dryer and other towels that use a similar design structure.

    The included information on the package states that this towel is designed to be dragged on the paint for drying rather than blotting. Well I have done both methods and this towel does both just fine.

    One thing I noticed with this towel is unlike the large PFM drying towel, the CarPro towel does not get as heavy yet it does just as good as the PFM. It is a good alternative to the PFM which is good for those not wanting to spend so much on a drying towel.

    For larger sized vehicles an additional towel may be needed.

    Give the towel a try and report back your feedback.

    Great Review!

    I have been using this towel for a while...I really like it!
    I've supplied this towel to a couple of clients to help take care of their freshly detailed vehicle.

    Another winner!
