HOW TO WASH MICROFIBER TOWELS
Microfiber only works when it’s cared for properly. The wrong detergent can quickly kill absorbency and performance.
Rags to Riches is a microfiber-specific detergent that deep cleans fibers, removes built-up residues, and helps towels perform like new again.

How to choose the right drying towel
The right drying towel depends on three things: your paint type, your vehicle size, and how much detail you want in the finish. Here is how the main microfiber weaves compare.
Twisted Loop towels: highest absorbency
Twisted Loop weave is built for water absorption. The looped fibers hold up to 7x their weight in water. A single Twist N Shout, Liquid8r or Gauntlet can dry a full sedan or SUV in one pass without re-wringing. Best for daily detailers, large vehicles, and fast routines.
Korean Plush towels: paint-safe finish
Korean Plush microfiber uses ultra-fine 70/30 polyester-polyamide fibers brushed to a deep pile. Lower absorbency than Twisted Loop, but the softness is unmatched, ideal for soft single-stage paint, dark colors that show every imperfection, and finishing passes after a primary dry. Best for show cars, ceramic-coated paint, and dark colors.
Compact drying towels: spot-drying and finishing
Towels like Liquid8r M22, The 1500 and Slim Dryer are sized for door jambs, panel corners, mirrors, glass, and quick spot-touchups. Often used as the second towel in a two-pass workflow.
What size do I need?
For full-vehicle drying choose 70x90 cm or larger. For panel-by-panel work 40x60 cm is the sweet spot. For tight spots and detail work 30x40 cm or smaller. For most detailers, two towels cover 95% of needs: a Twisted Loop for the body and a Korean Plush for finishing.
