The Rag Company - The Gauntlet Drying Towel - 70/30 Blend Korean Microfiber, Designed to Dry Vehicles Faster, More Thoroughly & More Gently Than Others, 900gsm, 20in x 30in, Ice Grey + Grey

I had been using Chemical Guys waffle towel to dry my truck for years and loved it, until I tried this one. The gauntlet towel is hands down the best towel I have ever used!!!!! Way better than CGs!!! I am buying more right now!!!

I was really looking forward to using this towel. Using multiple scratchy towels to dry my small Pontiac Vibe was getting old and I didnt like that they might leave small scratches or swirl marks. I watched a bunch of videos about drying towels and saw how they pulled water off the car and left no streaks behind. I was pumped to do one pass with no streaks and a really soft towel for my paint, unfortunately this towel didnt perform like the videos. I made 3 passes around my small car and there was still water on the paint. I had to grab another towel to finish the job. Although it obviously soaked up a lot of water, it took multiple passes with multiple towels. I returned the gauntlet. I was excited to try it but it wasnt a big enough difference from what I was used to. This was the first drying towel I have ever tried, maybe my hopes were too high, maybe everybody does multiple passes with multiple towels, it just wasnt anywhere near good enough. It felt like I was walking around and around my car with a heavy water logged towel leaving huge wet streaks everywhere I wiped. It was hard to believe this was what everyone was raving about, it kind of made me wonder if these drying towels were a bit of a gimmick, I hope not. I think I will start looking for drying towels in packs of 2, if I have to use multiple towels, at least they should be super soft. I tried to be as honest as possible, hope it helps.

I think the biggest size is an awkward size to dry car. It’s really hard to move it around the car. I’d buy the smallest size if I were you.

Pair with a quality drying aid and wash with rags to riches. Perfection.

The towel absorbs water well and it more than enough for a whole car. Unfortunately, there was a ton of little fibers left behind. After the hard work of cleaning a car thats the last thing you want to see. Get the Liquid8er by them, never had lint issues.

Just as expected 5 stars, it’s a great towel for drying the car! It’s absorbed, leaves car dry first time around and makes no scratches! It’s perfect!

This towel takes one wipe across each panel to get it dry. You can dry the whole car with this thing. And in AZ that’s something that keeps the car from spotting from the really bad water.

I bought this towel because I wash my black SUV once a week and my regular microfiber towel wasn’t up for the job. This easily dries my entire car. It doesn’t leave any lint, the edges are wrapped in a satiny material, and it doesn’t leave any streaks. I was surprised to find it works wonderfully for spotless windows, inside and out. You can safely use it slightly damp without any cleaner on the inside of tinted windows. One tip: I wash it in the machine inside of a mesh lingerie bag. It keeps any microfibers inside and keeps the loops from catching on anything else in the washer.

Love everything about this product

I opted to get these over the CG Woolly Mammoth and I regret it. I have 2 of the CG ones and wanted to get a couple more and saw these. Ordered 2, and after using them 3-4 times, I cannot recommend these. They leave steaks behind unlike the CG Woolly.
