As the name suggests, this cloth was designed with drying in mind and covers a large area 22 inches by 30 inches to get the job done quickly. It also comes with an embossed pattern for maximum absorption. The composition is standard 80% polyester with 20% polyamide.

While it offers good coverage at a low price, some reviewers have noted that it isn’t particularly gentle compared to the more expensive options.

This five-pack 16 x 24 inch cloths promises “super soft microfiber” thanks to their thick suede texture. Each sheet of fabric is actually double-sided, with a softer long pile side and a more abrasive short pile side. They are good for washing, waxing and drying without leaving a lot of lint.

During the washing process, the deep fibers help to grab dirt and safely move it away from the paint. The material is again 80% polyester. The relatively small size of the cloth can also mean that you will wring it out a few times while drying, which will take longer. Overall, however, this is a solid all-rounder kit.

Unlike most microfiber cloths, this set of four features a rough, stiff surface with an extremely short pile height. Perfect for applying elbow grease and cleaning dirt from windshields and mirrors, as well as chrome surfaces. You’ll just want to keep them away from the paint, as they’re likely to leave tiny scratches in a sensitive clear coat. Cloths are 20 x 16 inches each and 80% polyester. The manufacturer also guarantees that the product will last at least three years, or around 300 washes.

This cute-named drying towel looks almost more like a rug than just a hand-held cloth. The Mammoth comes with a massive 25-by-36-inch blanket and almost half an inch thick. The fibers are long pile suede, with a polyamide content of 30% for better absorption. The large size, however, can be disadvantageous as the fabric fills with water, becoming awkwardly heavy for some users. You’ll also want to wash it once before using it to rid it of potential lint.

This kit gives you a dozen bright blue cloths with an average 16×24 inch coverage. The height of the suede bristles is relatively short, so they are more suitable for scrubbing than for retail work. The microfiber composition is also 80% polyester and leaves minimal lint when in use. Black satin stitching around the edging ensures the fabric will hold its shape despite many uses and washes.

This cloth provides good coverage of 29 by 36 inches and scores top marks for softness and absorbency. It picks up water droplets with very little user effort and can dry an entire midsize vehicle in one pass.

Adam’s even claims “You’ve never seen a towel that sucks so much water.” One side of the product is soft long pile microfiber, while the polyamide material is more absorbent. It’s best to make sure that the soft side is the one that comes in contact with the paint at some point.

The small size of this 14 inch by 16 inch cloth makes it perfect for storing a few in the car for periodic dusting or for mopping up emergency spills. You might even face many spills at once, since twelve of them come in the box. However, it is best to keep it indoors, as the coarse, short pile pattern will not look good on the paint.

Make-up is more of a washcloth than a drying towel, and has a very high polyester content. It’s 87% versus only 13% polyamide, and leaves it less absorbent than its contemporaries.

For the person who is constantly washing cars or just asks for a handy rag at all times, this Kirkland 36 pack is for you. Each towel measures 16 square inches and comes with a high pile suede fabric that is 80% polyester. These cloths are thick for their relative size, weighing around 60 grams each, and provide a good balance of scrubbing, dusting and drying ability, while leaving the sheer layers both scratch-free and lint-free.
