The AMSOIL Drying Towel is a large-format, ultra-thick microfiber towel built to absorb enough water to dry a standard-size vehicle in a single pass. It cuts drying time while protecting paint, clear coat, and other delicate surfaces from the swirl marks and micro-scratches that come with lesser towels.
Drying is where a lot of wash-day damage happens. Regular terry cloth and chamois towels drag contaminants across paint, and their coarse fibers can leave fine scratches that dull the finish over time. Thin, low-GSM microfiber towels saturate too quickly, forcing you to wring and re-wring or grab a second towel before you even finish the hood. A proper drying towel needs to be soft enough to protect the surface, absorbent enough to handle the job in one pass, and durable enough to hold up wash after wash.
SUPERIOR ABSORBENCY AT 1100 GSM
At 1100 GSM (grams per square meter), this is a heavyweight towel. That density translates directly to water-holding capacity. The 25" x 36" size gives you enough surface area to lay the towel flat across a panel and pull it toward you, letting gravity and the towel's mass do the work instead of pressing and wiping. One towel handles a full-size sedan or crossover without wringing.
TWIST-LOOP WEAVE FOR RAPID WATER PICKUP
The twist-loop construction creates thousands of tiny channels in the fabric that pull water off the surface quickly and trap it deep in the fibers. This design lets you drag the towel across wet paint in a single controlled motion rather than dabbing or buffing repeatedly. The loops also keep absorbed water away from the surface contact points, so the towel continues to pick up water effectively even as it fills.
GENTLE 70/30 MICROFIBER BLEND
The 70/30 polyester-to-polyamide microfiber blend is soft enough to use on clear coat, glass, and trim without concern. The hemmed edge eliminates exposed stitching that can catch on badges, mirrors, or raised trim pieces and cause scratches. This matters on vehicles with fresh paint correction or ceramic coatings, where even minor surface contact with the wrong material can undo hours of detail work.
LOW MAINTENANCE, LONG LIFE
Machine washable with mild liquid detergent. No fabric softeners, no bleach, no dryer sheets. Softeners coat microfiber strands and kill their absorbency. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry in a clean space. Washing before first use removes any loose fibers from manufacturing. Kept clean and washed properly, this towel maintains its dirt-gripping and water-absorbing properties through many wash cycles.
What vehicles and equipment can I use the AMSOIL Drying Towel on?
The AMSOIL Drying Towel (G3913-EA) is designed for use on a wide range of vehicles and equipment, including cars, light trucks, motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, snowmobiles, marine outboards, PWCs, heavy-duty on-road and off-road vehicles, and agricultural equipment. Its 25" x 36" size and superior absorbency allow you to dry a standard-size vehicle with a single towel.
How does the AMSOIL Drying Towel protect my vehicle's paint from scratches while drying?
The AMSOIL Drying Towel features a non-abrasive, twist-loop weave design combined with a 70/30 microfiber blend and hemmed edges to prevent scratching. This construction allows you to drag the towel across the surface of the vehicle rather than rubbing it, significantly reducing the risk of swirl marks and scratches during the drying process.
What is the GSM rating and size of the AMSOIL Drying Towel?
The AMSOIL Drying Towel measures 25" x 36" and has an 1100 GSM (grams per square meter) rating. GSM is a measure of fabric density and weight — at 1100 GSM, this towel is extremely thick and dense, which directly contributes to its superior absorbency and ability to dry a standard-size vehicle with a single towel.
How does the AMSOIL Drying Towel compare to regular microfiber towels for drying cars?
The AMSOIL Drying Towel stands apart with its 1100 GSM density and twist-loop weave, which rapidly picks up and retains water far more effectively than standard microfiber towels. Its 70/30 microfiber blend with hemmed edges is specifically engineered to be gentle on vehicle surfaces, and its large 25" x 36" size means you can dry a standard-size vehicle with just one towel rather than needing multiple towels.
How should I wash and maintain the AMSOIL Drying Towel to keep it working properly?
Wash the AMSOIL Drying Towel prior to first use for best results. Machine wash warm with a mild liquid detergent that is free of dyes, fragrances, bleach, and softeners. Do not use fabric softener or chlorine bleach, and wash only with other non-linting materials to maintain proper dirt-gripping properties. If your washer has an extra rinse cycle, use it to remove contamination and soap. Tumble dry on low — do not iron — or air dry in a dust-free space.
Is the AMSOIL Drying Towel safe to use on all vehicle paint and clear coat finishes?
Yes, the AMSOIL Drying Towel is designed to be safe on vehicle surfaces. Its soft 70/30 microfiber blend and non-abrasive twist-loop weave allow you to drag the towel across paint and clear coat finishes while reducing the risk of scratches. The hemmed edge further prevents any potential surface damage during use.
