Best towel bar none
I tried a number of towels before I came upon this one. Turns-out that our local detail shop sells them. They had nothing but high praise for it.The towel is quite deserving of that praise. It works great. I am picky about what touches my car. I never take them to an automatic car wash - especially those with rollers that sandpaper your finish. When drying my car, this towel is amazing. The towel is very soft, and easy on the finish. My car is ceramic coated so it beads up water (a well waxed car would react the same). To dry, I simply throw the towel on the hood (for example), and drag it off. One swipe gets 95% of the water. A few swipes on the hood, trunk and top gets all the water. It absorbs water on the side easily as well. Drying the car is as easy as that. The towel absorbs water like crazy. In fact, I can dry the entire car with a single towel.The downside is that the towel likes to hold water. It doesn't just wring out. You either have to wash/dry it, or let it dry out for itself. Speaking of drying, it takes a while in the dryer. The towel just likes to hold water.Hands down the best towel I have found. Just get one.

Keep one in your car! Fantastic absorbancy and good size!
I keep one of these in my car on the rare occasions I have to run my car through a car wash so I can dry off any drips the air dryer might have missed after I get out. It sucks up the water with ease and leaves the surface dry instantly. It's soft enough to not scratch the paint or leave swirls. It's also a nice size so you can cover an entire vehicle with ease. Keep one in your car and also in your garage for car wash days. Would absolutely recommend one of these for anyone who washes their car and has a ceramic coating on their car.

Great piece of kit
Using this towel, I can dry my entire sedan without needing to wring it once. Way cheaper than an electric leaf blower and does the same job without needing to charge or make any noise. I just hang it in my garage and every week it's good to go.The best technique I've found is to just lay it on the wet panel and drag it across without applying any pressure. It takes all the water off without needing to press down.

Nice drying towel
This is a very nice, soft high quality drying towel. This particular size (20x40) is a decent size, but I didn’t fully dry my full size SUV without the towel getting full saturated. But the good news is that it completely dried my 2012 Camry and could have went even further.

You are gonna love my nuts! -Vince / SlapChop- Read review for explanation.
So everybody remembers Vince the smooth talking pitchman for such lovely products as the SlapChop COMINHKPR119445 and the infamous ShamWow B07CND4MCC commercials?!Well the folks over AutoFiber should put old Vince on the YouTube pitching a commercial for the Dreadnought, because everything the ShamWow wants to be in the auto detailing world. The Dreadnought actually is.I'm a little blown away by how fast I just dried my car without having to wring it out or wipe it down multiple times. For reference I drive a Model S so its a pretty large sedan, lots of glass lots of horizontal and vertical metal. After I finished two bucket (rinse and soap buckets) wash using the B08YNH338M ( https://www.amazon.com/Autofiber-Wash-Monster-Plush-Blue/dp/B08YNH338M/ref=sr_1_27?dchild=1&keywords=autofiber&qid=1627849381&sr=8-27 ) Autofiber [Wash Monster] Plush Car Wash Pad <Check out my review for that wash pad another fantastic product, using the product link> I gave the car a good rinse and whipped out the Dreadnought.I have to say I wasn't sure what to expect. I've been using "shammy" (chamois) style drying towels for years and I have been combating scratches and swirls for years, thus the switch.From what I have learned from auto detailing videos is that you are just supposed to lay the towel flat on the car grab 2 corners and just pull it over the car to dry it. So I did just that and whatever water it makes contact with it absorbs instantly. No streaks, no towel wringing, no scratches or swirls. Just dry so that no water spotting or streaking could possibly happen.Its not magic folks Dreadnought towel is very dense, double sided - this is important because as one side get saturated you can flip it over and continue drying-, low pile, and not grabby at all. Well not grabby against your skin it has no problem grabbing water. The towel is sewn so it has no seams, edges or ribbons to trap dirt particles to scratch paint and no tags (FINALLY!)I dried my car so fast it almost felt wrong but dread noght my dear friends this drying towel works exactly as advertised. If you are a professional detailer or a DIY driveway detailer alike look no further this is what you are looking for.Remember proper towel care is important for maintaining a scratch free finish when drying. After use be sure to inspect all of your wash and dry towels and if they have grit or filth in them wash them in between uses. Get the good detergent the stuff for hypochondriacs. You want dye free, and perfume free. Nothing extra. NO FABRIC SOFTENER, cold water preferred (maximum of warm water) extra rinse and air dry. No fabric softener sheets the silicone in those things ruin towels and if you've ever used dryer sheets in your clothes dryer your detailing towels should never go in that dryer EVER.If your towels are particularly filthy or gritty you can mix in some washing soda with your load as a booster. "Washing soda, also called soda ash, is sodium carbonate (chemical formula Na2CO3), it is a highly alkaline chemical compound of water-soluble sodium salt of carbonic acid. Its proportions of sodium, carbon, and oxygen make it effective as a natural cleaner and cleaning booster. "Grab a clean bucket put a couple gallons of hot water in the bucket and add a proportionate amount for the amount of water you machine uses. High Efficiency and Front loaders need less washing soda than tub style washers. No need to get crazy, yes I'm talking to you, use a scoop. Dissolve the washing soda fully and then add it to your washing machines water. This ensures no grit gets trapped in your micofibers because it has been previously dissolved. Let the water cool before mixing with towels or mix into load of cold water. Hot water is not good for microfiber.This is washing soda: B0029XNTEU https://www.amazon.com/Arm-Hammer-Super-Washing-Soda/dp/B0029XNTEU/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=washing+soda&qid=1627850673&sr=8-2This is getting long so I will end with my standard disclaimer.Standard Disclaimer:I am in now way affiliated with AutoFiber or any parent companies or conglomerates or people corporations etc...

A little expensive but worth it
I've bought several of these over the last months and they are wonderful. I was hesitant to buy it at first but they a bit pricey but I had heard about them and thought I would give one a try and I'm glad I did because they are well worth the money. If you are a car buff and love to keep your vehicle nice, these are for you. If it rains, you can get home and just a single one of these can absorb ALL of the water on your vehicle in one go. So nice we give them to our fellow car or boat buffs as gifts. Everyone at first thinks it is just another shammy and say thank you but later after they've used it they come back and tell us how amazing it was and thank us again. It is that kind of gift. This is not just a shammy, it is THE shammy to use. Buy it with confidence. You won't be disappointed.

La mejor!!
Es impresionante que a una sola pasada seca y sin dejar residuos o manchas. Solo el tamaño si es un poco pesado al final. En mi caso la uso para secar simultaneamente un subcompacto y una SUV y sin problema da capacidad de absorción.

C'est mon deuxième achat - Efficacité assurée
Comme mentionné dans mon commentaire lors de l'achat de ma première version, un peu plus petit, j'étais sceptique. Depuis 40 ans, je ne jurais que par un chamois naturel.C'est absolument plus efficace qu'un chamois.Quand il est complètement sec, et même à 60-70 % humide, ça essuie en une seule passe.Diminue de pratiquement la moitié le temps d'essuyage d'une voiture.Je recommande la version XL, car la version plus petite, ça devient limite à la fin de l'essuyage de la voiture.Là, j'ai un medium et un XL, c'est la totale !
