In the art of detailing, the spotlight is generally on how to achieve a flawless finish that's worthy of a show car. The most common questions are which polisher to buy, what type of polish or compound to use, pad type, etc. While they all play a critical role in achieving the end result, shiny paint that's free of swirls and scratches, the steps needed to maintain your new-found flawless, swirl-free paint are often overlooked. Once you have achieved your goal of paint that's free of swirls and scratches, every product you use from there on out will determine whether or not your paint will remain swirl-free. With a little bit of knowledge and some quality car care products, you can maintain the show-car look of your daily driver for years to come.

Put away the Surbuf pads and your bottle of Meguiar's 105 because I'm going to show you one of many products available that will making caring for your new-found, swirl-free paint effortless.




With so many different towels and tools available to aid in the drying process after washing, how do you know which one to choose? The most effective means of preventing swirls and scratches is to avoid touching the paint altogether, and products like the Metro Master Blaster certainly make that possible. While the Master Blaster is something that's sought after by most and admired by all, you can still get away with safe drying by using a quality microfiber towel, such as the Waffle Weave Guzzler by Cobra. Granted, it's not the same as two twin-fan 4.0 motors delivering a peak of 8.0 horsepower blasting warm, filtered air at over 58,000 feet per min, a Guzzler is the next best option for safe drying.






The Cobra Waffle Weave Guzzler features only the highest quality Korean microfiber that goes through a unique manufacturing process to ensure that it meets the quality standards of a Cobra towel. As part of this manufacturing process, the microfiber goes through a splitting machine to make what's called "ultra microfiber". Ultra microfiber is found in every Cobra Waffle Weave Guzzler drying towel because it's the softest, most plush type of microfiber available at any cost. No corners were cut in the design of the Waffle Weave Guzzler and that includes the borders, which are super soft so they won't scratch even the most delicate of painted finishes.






The Cobra Waffle Weave Guzzler is available in sizes Regular, Supreme, and Ultimate. To be a little more specific, the sizes are 16" x 24", 20" x 40" and 28" x 44".






Quality is in the details, and the Cobra Waffle Weave Guzzler are no exception. Most towels feature a tag that's sewn on, but Cobra microfiber towels utilize a tag that's glued on so it can easily be removed. If you have a tag that's sewn on, you risk the chance of tearing the edge when you remove it.

You should always remove the tag before using your Cobra Waffle Weave Guzzler.







The 16" x 24" Guzzler is the perfect drying towel for small to midsize vehicles. If you have a large truck or SUV it also works well as a dedicated drying towel for your windows.

With it's unique design, the Cobra Guzzler can absorb up to seven times its weight in water.






The Supreme Guzzler, measuring 20" x 40" can easily dry a midsize vehicle without needing to be wrung out.






I fold the towel four ways to make it a more manageable size. As the towel becomes saturated I simply fold it over to a dry side and continue drying.






The Ultimate Guzzler measures a massive 28" x 44" which makes it the definitive drying towel for large trucks or SUVs. The Ultimate Guzzler also features sewn-in pockets so you can easily handle the towel which totals a whopping 10 1/2 square feet.






Until the day you have one of these.....






A Waffle Weave Guzzler by Cobra is the next best way to safely dry your vehicle without compromising the months of research and hours of work you put in to achieving that show-car finish.
