The Original 2.0 Car Drying Towel

The Original 2.0 Car Drying Towel - Our hero product

We’ve made it even better. They said it couldn’t be done, but after three years of trial and error, we did it. The Original is now the Original 2.0—softer, more absorbent, and simply superior to our already unmatched Original Rapid Dry Towel.

Our Journey:

Originally, experts claimed our fabric was impossible to create. Yet, we achieved it. And now, we’ve perfected it. After years of searching for a towel or chamois to dry cars without wringing out, we realised it didn’t exist—so we invented it.

Why the Original 2.0 is a Game Changer:

• Unparalleled Performance: Dry an entire average-sized car without wringing out the towel.
• Impressive Size: At a whopping 59x30 inches, it’s the size of a beach towel, ensuring complete coverage and the ability to dry large areas without having to move around the vehicle.
• Gentle Yet Powerful: Will not scratch, creates no lint, and guarantees a spotless finish without streaks.
• Durability: Machine wash and tumble dry over 500 times without losing effectiveness.
• Convenient: Comes with a handy carry bag for easy storage and transport.

Versatile Use:

• Around the House: Perfect for windows, shower glass, and spills.
• On the Go: Great for boats, RVs, caravans, and even pets.

Washing Instructions:

For optimal care, machine wash and tumble dry on low heat. Skip laundry detergent to effectively remove existing soaps without adding new ones, as detergents may not rinse out completely in the washing machine. Wash separately from natural fibers like cotton and wool to prevent lint transfer, as our towels can pick up lint from other fabrics. Avoid using bleach, fabric softener, and dryer sheets to maintain the towels’ performance and longevity.

1. How do I wash my Rapid Dry Towel?

Machine wash with cold to warm water. You can use a soft detergent however we don’t think it is necessary as the towel will retain some of the car wash and you are attempting to keep the towel 100% free of any residue. Avoid using fabric softener or bleach, as these can damage the fibres and reduce their effectiveness.

Dry the towel on low heat in a tumble dryer or air-dry (best kept out of the sun when drying as the sun can react with minerals in your water to and make fabrics become hard which reduces their effectiveness).

It's best to keep microfiber and regular fabrics separate when you wash/dry. Microfiber won't create lint. But the lint from regular fabrics could get into the microfiber weave - and then it won't be the 100% scratch free microfiber that you are after.

2. What is the Rapid Dry fabric?

It's 100% microfiber (with a very unique blend).

It is a channel weave that we found to be the best in testing.

3. How long will it take me to dry my car?

Answer - a lot quicker than without.

We dry Porsche 911s in 90 seconds but a regular car will be 3 minutes or so.

5. How scratch resistant is my Rapid Dry Towel?

Very. But, check your towel for dirt and other foreign objects prior to each use - or after each wash like me. Remember, the cloth is scratch resistant but that little twig isn't.

6. How long will my Rapid Dry Towel last?

500+ machine washes and tumble dries. It really is a great fabric. Honestly.

7. Is The Original Rapid Dry Towel too cumbersome when it absorbs water?

No - it's definitely different than the wash cloth sized chamois that you pick up at the auto repair shop.

But you will find a new drying rhythm when you use it for the first time.

We use the full size for the roof, hood etc and fold it for the more intricate areas.

You can always put some of it over your shoulder too.

Absolutely. It will be lightening quick at that too.
