Griot's Garage PFM Terry Weave Microfiber Towels 16in x 16in Set of 2, 1,120 GSM Long-Loop

Griot's Garage PFM Terry Weave Microfiber Towel is a plush, 1,120 GSM long-loop microfiber cloth designed for fast water absorption, scratch-free drying, and efficient polish removal on vehicle surfaces. These 16" x 16" towels come as a set of two and use a long-loop terry weave to maximize surface area, so they pick up water and residues faster than standard cloths. Built with double-lined construction and radiused satin edges, they balance aggressive pickup of wax and polish with gentle touch on paint, glass, and trim. The towels are lint-free and versatile, intended for drying, buffing, polishing, and interior detailing in professional shops or home garages.

How does the PFM terry weave speed up drying and reduce streaks?

The PFM long-loop terry weave increases the towel's surface area and creates many more active fibers to capture water and grime. That higher contact area means each wipe removes more moisture per pass, cutting drying time. The dense 1,120 GSM microfiber holds liquid within the towel rather than redistributing it, helping prevent streaks and drips on sensitive surfaces.

• Long-loop terry pattern for increased surface contact and absorption
• 1,120 GSM double-lined microfiber traps water and reduces dripping
• Large 16" x 16" size balances coverage and control for panels and glass

Will these towels safely remove polish and wax without scratching paint?

The long-loop fibers are effective at lifting polish and wax residues while remaining soft enough to avoid surface marring when used correctly. Satin-finished, radiused edges eliminate sharp seams that can create micro-scratches during buffing. For best results, use separate towels for heavy residue removal and final finishing to avoid re-depositing product.

• Plush loops cut through residues while cushioning contact with paint
• Radiused satin edges prevent edge-related scratches on delicate finishes
• Lint-free composition minimizes dust and fiber transfer during use

How should I care for these microfiber towels to keep them effective?

Proper laundering extends microfiber life and preserves absorbency: wash towels separately from cotton items, use a mild detergent without fabric softener, and tumble dry on low or air dry. Avoid bleach and high heat, which damage microfiber fibers and reduce cleaning performance. Store towels clean and dry to prevent trapped dirt from scratching surfaces when reused.

• Machine wash warm, no fabric softeners or bleach
• Tumble dry low or hang dry to protect fibers and edges
• Designate towels by task (drying, polishing, interior) to avoid cross-contamination

What surfaces and detailing tasks are best suited for these towels?

These towels are engineered to perform across exterior and interior tasks: fast drying of painted panels, streak-free glass wiping, safe buffing of wax and polish residues, and gentle dusting of dashboards and leather. Their absorbency and softness make them a versatile choice for both heavy-duty water removal and delicate final finishing. For heavy grime, combine with appropriate cleaners; for finishing, fold to create clean buffing faces.

• Exterior drying after washes and rinses
• Removing polish, wax, and residue during buffing
• Glass, chrome, trim, and interior wipe-downs without lint

Who is this for: Detailers and car enthusiasts who want a multi-purpose, high-absorbency towel that balances aggressive liquid pickup with a soft touch. These 16" x 16" PFM towels suit professional shops needing durable, quick-drying cloths and weekend detailers who value lint-free finishes.
