The Gauntlet | Initial Wipe Drying Aid Towel 4.0

The Gauntlet is one of the most capable drying towels available right now. I like it because it dries quickly without feeling grabby on the paint. The hybrid twist loop design pulls water off the panel instead of pushing it around, which is exactly what you want on your initial pass. This size is ideal for working panel by panel. It’s easy to control but still holds a surprising amount of water. I keep multiple on hand so I can rotate them and not fight a soaked towel halfway through drying. Use this for your first pass with a drying aid or detail spray and let the towel glide across the surface.
