The Gauntlet drying towel is in a class of its own, combining cutting-edge design with unmatched absorbency. Made from a premium Korean 70/30 fiber blend, it features a unique twist-loop hybrid weave that soaks up water fast while staying soft on your paint. The alternating stripes of twist loop and plush microfiber give it the perfect balance of power and gentleness. Add TRC’s signature ButterSoft suede border and you’ve got a towel that’s as safe as it is effective. Available in multiple sizes, The Gauntlet handles everything from tight crevices to wide panels with ease. It’s the go-to for detailers, collectors, and car lovers who want drying done right the first time.

Pair with Rags to Riches™ to keep the fibers soft, clean, and performing like it should.

Max Drying Pattern

The unique pattern of The Gauntlet creates a squeegee-like action, drying your car with little effort. The Gauntlet can be used by dabbing and wiping, but exceeds when dragging. The lines and grooves of the pattern means you can drag in any direction leaving dry-to-the-touch surface behind.

Available in 4 Sizes

No matter what size car you have, we have the towel for it. The Gauntlet has four sizes for your convenience. Pick one, or pick them all - you can't go wrong. We do recommend having a 12" x 12" for those annoying drips that always seem to hide out in crevices, waiting to drip as soon as you walk away.

    The Rag I always wanted

    I have always hated cleaning because it felt like I went through rag after rag that would get absolutely soaked and just leave residue and streaks behind. The Gauntlet is the rag I always wanted but never new existed. I can spray down my entire shower, ceiling to floor. A single 12 x 12 gauntlet can clean up the job. Now, I'm not saying that is the best way to do it, but it CAN! Even once it is soaked through you can ring it out and it will go right back to absorbing any moisture, leaving a nice clean finish in its wake.
