Introducing the AquaLux 1600 drying towel, the thickest, most luxurious drying towel we've ever made. Built with extreme density and double twisted loop microfibre on both sides, this 1600 GSM beast is the gold standard of drying towels as it effortlessly soaks up massive amounts of water in one pass, ensuring the fastest, safest drying experience for your vehicle.
At 1600 GSM, AquaLux 1600 takes drying performance to the next level. Whether you’re working on SUVs, vans, or supercars, its ultra-plush fibres glide over paintwork without friction—delivering streak-free, scratch-free results every time. The added density enhances water retention, meaning fewer passes and less effort.
With its generous 80x50cm size, seamless edge design and ultra-soft construction, this towel is perfect for even the most delicate finishes. Simply lay it flat, let the towel do the work, and lift. No pressure, no dragging, no swirls.
Ideal for professional detailers and DIY perfectionists, AquaLux 1600 is the ultimate choice when only the best will do.
A. Yes, AquaLux 1600 Towel is highly absorbent allowing the quick and easy drying of a whole vehicle. In fact it can comfortably dry 1 full car, and potentially up to 2 small cars, especially if the vehicles are already sheet-rinsed well and you manage the towel effectively. For a large vehicle such as a SUV or van, it can dry 1 vehicle if wrung out once midway.
GSM (grams per square metre) is a measurement used to measure the density of a microfibre cloth. The higher the GSM, the softer and more absorbent the cloth will be. Consequently the extremely high 1600 GSM microfibre material makes it the ultimate solution for safe, scratch-free, ultra absorbent drying.
A: The AquaLux 1200 is a 1200 GSM drying towel with a dimension of 90cm x 60cm. The AquaLux 1600 is a 1600 GSM drying towel with a dimension of 80cm x 50cm.
For those that want maximum coverage and easier drying of roofs, bonnets and full panels in one pass, we recommend the AquaLux 1200. It is a great balance of softness and efficiency.
For those that prefer a thicker, softer feel for ultra-delicate paintwork and more control in tight areas or curved bodywork we recommend the AquaLux 1600. The AquaLux 1600 is for those that want the premium drying experience where comfort and touch matter most. The 1600 GSM towel feels denser and more luxurious and hence ideal for precision work or high-end detailing.
A: The GSM (grams per square meter) rating of a drying towel directly affects its absorbency, softness, and safety on paintwork. Towels with less than 1200GSM are typically not ideal for drying cars and hence we do not manufacture or stock them for the following reasons:
Less Absorbency:
A towel below 1200 GSM, hold less water, meaning you need more passes to dry a panel. This means you may have to wring out the towel more often and streaking is more likely, especially on dark or glossy paints
Increased Risk of Paint Marring
Lower GSM towels are thinner and less cushioned and hence without plush fibres to lift water and dirt safely, micro-scratches and swirl marks are more likely, especially on soft clear coats.
More Drag and Friction
Lightweight towels don’t glide as easily over paint. This can lead to tugging, especially on large panels or curved surfaces. Heavier towels like the AquaLux 1200 and AquaLux 1600 use their weight and fibre depth to lift water with almost no pressure.
Shorter Lifespan
Towels with lower GSM generally break down faster, especially after repeated washes. High GSM microfibre is more durable, better constructed and built for repeated detailing.
While drying towels with less than 1200 GSMtowels can work in budget or utility settings, they aren’t ideal for safe, efficient car drying especially for DIY enthusiasts or professionaldetailers.
A: Yes. If you leave your vehicle to air dry, the water will evaporate off and deposit mineral impurities typically found in tap water all over your paintwork. This will leave what's commonly termed as 'water spots' These are unpleasant to look at and typically need polishing out. Hence to ensure this doesn't happen it's important to dry your vehicle as quickly and efficiently as possible.
