What Towel/Shammy/Cloth to Keep for a Quick Wipedown or Rub Out?

I want to keep something in the trunk of my car that I can quickly whip out to wipe the car, clean out smudges, or rub some dirt out of it. What should I buy? A shammy? Shamwow (prob not)???

Keep a bottle of quick detailer and a few microfiber towels. If you want over the counter, the orange Vroom microfibers from Target are very nice.

For quick detailing I recommend a nice thick microfiber towel to reduce friction and they help safely pick up contaminants. We have two really thick towels at Detailed Image that may work for you.

This towel is on sale this month at Detailed Image for only $3.99
Detailed Image Ultra Plush Microfiber Towel 16x16


Detailed Image reTHICKulous Microfiber Towel 16x16


For quick detail spray we have a lot of excellent quick detailers. I really like the Optimum Instant Detailer and Gloss Enhancer and Chemical Guys Synthetic Quick Detailer. They will help safely clean and shine the surface in one step.

We offer 10% off on all these products (except the already discounted towel) with the coupon code 10offMBW. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I don't care about the price, but which one of those shown above would be the best for my car?

They're all relatively the same.

Thank you for the order I appreciate your support. Your order will ship out on Monday morning and you'll get the tracking # that evening via e-mail. Both towels are outstanding so they will both work really well. The reTHICKulous is a thicker and heavier towel that I love. The Ultra Plush has one side that is quite thick and the other side is thinner. Again both towels are great and you can't go wrong either way. Let me know if you have any other questions.
