The Rag CompanyThe Rag Company Gauntlet Car Drying Towel - 70/30 Korean Microfiber, Dries Faster Without Scratching, 900gsm, 20x30 inches, Ice Grey/Grey, Pack of 1

I use The Rag Company Gauntlet drying towel on my 2025 GMC Sierra AT4, which has full ceramic coating and partial PPF — and this towel has become an essential part of my wash routine. I’ve tried others, but nothing matches the water absorption, softness, and streak-free performance of the Gauntlet.It soaks up water effortlessly without dragging, scratching, or leaving behind lint. One 20”x30” towel is usually enough to dry the entire truck, especially when paired with good hydrophobic behavior from coatings or products like GYEON WetCoat.It also holds up extremely well over time — even after multiple washes with P&S Rags to Riches, it still performs like new.If you care about your paint and want the best drying towel on the market, don’t overthink it — just get this one.

dried my entire car without leaving streaks, felt high quality and soft. Way better than what i expected, absorbs water well and still doesn’t leave streaks. Used on my 2006 rsx

I use these specifically to clean my car glasses. They are soft , don’t leave any lint residue, dries very fast, durable,

These drying towels are some of the best I have used for detailing my truck. The fibers are very soft and extremely absorbent, I am always amazed how well they continue to dry my truck even with heavy use. Compared to other towels I have used, I have come to appreciate the different colors on each side which makes it very easy to keep track of which side has already been used while working around the truck and refolding. I use two of these every time I dry my truck but I would think that just one of them will easily dry an average sized care with no issue. Working on vehicle paint is a place where skimping out on towels can cause more work or worse cause scratching on the paint but these are great quality and holding up like new after many washes.

Great product.This thing super soft and absorbs a ton of water. Ends up getting a bit too heavy towards the end. My truck is probably a bit too big for just one of these. Regardless, if it gets waterlogged and you wring it out, it seems like it still has a difficult time absorbing water again properly. Seems like you need to let it dry out again before it'll absorb water well again. For this reason, depending on the size of your car, I recommend buying 2-3 of these. An average car can probably get away with one, but a somewhat larger car to small truck should probably get 2 and larger truck should probably get 3.

This review is for the 30" x 36" The Gauntlet Microfiber Drying Towel from The Rag Company. I've 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 wasn't 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 can't withstand.

works very well, washed only using rags to riches. important note, if using a quick detailer as a drying aid with this towel expect degraded performance each time. I had to buy a second drying towel and change my method to just full drying before adding gloss and slickness enhancers.

This towel is the real deal. I was skeptical, but the Gauntlet is a game-changer. It's incredibly soft and soaks up a ridiculous amount of water. I can dry my entire SUV without wringing it out once. The 70/30 Korean microfiber is no joke – it leaves a perfect, streak-free finish with zero lint. Honestly, it makes washing the car almost enjoyable. Stop messing around with other towels and just get this one.
