The Twisted drying towel is carefully packaged. The sturdy cardboard box offers sufficient protection during transportation.

The Twisted drying towel is extremely quick and easy to use. With its size of 90×60 cm, it is suitable for the entire vehicle. The drying performance is very good – tested on an Opel Astra. The drying cloth can be used not only for car care, but also on all exterior surfaces such as paint, glass, plastic and chrome.

The special “twisted pile loop” microfibers and the soft edging also ensure gentle use on paintwork and other surfaces. The product can be washed at 40°C in the washing machine , but fabric softener should be avoided in order to maintain its high performance.
