Griot's Garage PFM Ultrafast Edgeless Towels — 16" x 16" Set of 2, 1500 GSM Hyper-Absorbent, Scratch-Free

Griot's Garage PFM Ultrafast Edgeless Towels are compact, high‑pile microfiber drying and buffing cloths engineered to absorb large volumes of water quickly while protecting automotive paint from edge-related swirls.

These 16" x 16" towels combine a dense 1500 GSM twist‑pile with a 70/30 microfiber blend to speed up drying, reduce passes, and avoid streaks. The edgeless construction removes stitched borders that can trap grit and produce marks, so you can confidently dry, buff, or wipe detail sprays on paint, glass, and trim. Each towel holds an impressive amount of water without frequent wringing, making them well suited for rinseless washes, touch drying, and finishing work in tight spaces.

How do these towels speed up car drying?

Their ultra‑dense 1500 GSM construction and twist‑pile fibers lift and trap water efficiently, so one pass removes more moisture than standard towels. Fewer passes mean less time and lower risk of accidentally dragging grit across the surface.

• 1500 GSM pile for increased water retention
• 70/30 microfiber blend for quick wicking and fast evaporation
• Compact 16" x 16" size for controlled, effective strokes
• Holds nearly 3 lbs. of water to reduce wringing frequency

Will the edgeless design prevent scratches?

Removing sewn edges eliminates a common source of border abrasion; the uninterrupted microfiber face glides smoothly and minimizes contact points that can catch contaminants. As with any towel, start with a clean cloth and rinse frequently to avoid transferring trapped grit.

• No stitched borders that can snag or dig into paint
• Soft twist‑pile reduces friction during drying and buffing
• Use separate towels for soiled areas to keep surfaces safe
• Machine washable for repeated safe use when cleaned properly

Are these towels versatile enough for detailing tasks?

Yes—their plush face and absorbent core make them suitable for multiple detailing jobs, from drying after a wash to removing polish residues and spraying quick detailers. The compact footprint helps reach mirrors, badges, and panel gaps without contact with the ground or wheels.

• Works on paint, glass, trim, and chrome
• Effective for rinseless and waterless wash methods
• Great for buffing off polishes and sealants
• Small size aids precision in tight or curved areas

How should I care for these microfiber towels to preserve performance?

Wash them separately from linting fabrics, use a mild detergent without softeners, and dry on low heat or air dry to maintain loft and absorption. Proper care keeps fibers aligned and prevents residue that reduces water pickup.

• Wash loosely with similar microfiber items only
• Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and dryer sheets
• Low‑heat tumble dry or hang dry to retain pile
• Store clean and dry to prevent odors and mildew
