Frequently Answered Questions
You absolutely should, and these towels hold up cycle after cycle. We personally haven't seen proper use wear them down at all. The only reason we would stop using them (for our paint) is if we drop them on sandy/rocky ground or if they get soiled with anything other than normal paint grime and film, like heavy oil/grease or gravel, or ceramic resin from a coating job. If you do drop them in dirt or use them for other shop components, we recommend demoting the towels to 'shop use' and general purpose other than paint. Keep your paint towels exclusive to paint. Microfibers pick up and trap a lot of debris when you drop them, or gunk them up with other compounds. Inspect after each wash for any leftovers or attached debris to reconfirm them for paint use!
Normal washer and dryer should do the trick. Cycle on warm water (not hot, preferably), and low heat drying. If they are heavily soiled, soak them in a dilution of cleaner like HotLap (.5 oz in a gallon of water) to remove grease and oil or resin and wax build up, then add to a wash cycle as stated above with regular detergent. Pro tip: Never let these touch anything but your car's paint. Use a separate basket to deposit your dirty paint towels into (separate from any other clothes or towels) and wash them in their own cycle. This will keep them untainted from debris (which microfibers capture easily) so they are always safe on your fresh paint.
This is a relevant factor with towels, yet hardly tells the whole story. Towels are rated based on their mass measured in 'Grams per Square Meter' or 'GSM'. This means their mass if they were cut to a square meter (instead of 16in x 16in in our case). Although the thickness of the towel is rarely accounted for, and plays a major role in density (mass per volume), so not all 390-420GSM towels, for instance, feel or perform the same. A fluffier towel that's thicker with the same GSM is going to feel entirely different. Towel thickness, material and quality of material, and stitch design or style plays a major role in how the towel behaves and performs. This is why these towels outperform any other towels at the same GSM level for cleaning and buffing.
Our perfect towels are more than ideal for drying your car. In fact, because of their material, design, and size, they offer a more controlled and safer way to dry your paint, along with OneWiper, over the leading oversized drying towels that tend to be hard to see dirt on and can scratch your paint for this reason.
Completed my first wash and very happy with the result. All the products and tools are high quality and make the washing process quicker and easier. Found the new glass towels work very well also.

I’ve been in the automotive industry for my entire professional career and have always taken great personal pride in the proper care of all my cars, trucks, motorcycles and RV.
Finally a batch of thoughtful car detailing products that have mostly exceeded expectation (IE marketing jargon and questionable results via the internet).
Keep it clean!

As good as any micro towels that I’ve used and probably better than most others…

This is the best product I’ve ever used!!!!

Great product. We live in AZ and most people use automatic car washes, but I hate the swirl marks they leave. I also don’t have a ton of time to wash both of my rides and my wife’s car, so finding a solution that performs great in the AZ heat, cuts down on time, and is super easy to use is crucial. Drivelab delivers on their promises and I don’t even have swirl marks. The other huge benefit, it’s pretty good at degreasing. I had my Jeep in the shop for a hydro steering upgrade and it’s naturally a dirty job, power steering fluid on the frame and undercarriage sucks. Most just let it off gas and deal with it. I used the foam cannon attachment, let it sit for about 5min and it’l surprisingly did a great job at reducing the power steering fluid. Overall really impressed and will continue to use and purchase Drivelab products.

I mean it’s fine still need to bucket and mitt to get dirt off after only a week without a wash, looks like I’m still on the hunt for something that can remove hard water spots from my ceramic coating

Great microfiber towel! Extremely absorbent and easy to ring out and clean

The wash kit, especially the foam cannon, has worked very well. The foam is thick when I want it to be and is easily adjusted. Hotlap is great at loosening the dirt and one wiper leaves a very good shine.
Michael S.5/5Verified
I think the product works very well and I am looking to purchase the soap as well. I like the cleaning properties of the OneWiper I don’t know of any other product like it, except CarPro Elixir.
The product smells good too!

Used steps 1-3 with the foam cannon and the results were amazing! So much faster.

I thought the products were great one of the best ones I’ve used

The DriveLab wash kit is genuinely excellent. I’ve purchased car care kits from other companies in the past, and I always felt like I had to mix and match or combine multiple products just to get a good finish. DriveLab completely simplifies the process into three easy steps—no guesswork required. The products themselves are super high quality, and the final results were top-tier. Highly recommend if you want an effortless, professional-looking shine!

Better than expected.

The product was great! This Porsche hadn't been cleaning in 7 months
Took me about an 1:30hr to clean it. Mostly because I was learning my new power washer set up

Good stuff.
Henry S.5/5Verified
Solid product all the way around. The quality of the foam cannon to towels are absolutely amazing. Excited to see how it does on our other vehicles. Time saved and an amazing shine after. Recommending to all of my friends and will be buying more products in the future!

I show my car and having a great quality product that allows me to decrease the amount of time it takes me to wash and dry helps me to be able to spend more time on interior detailing. The wash is great. I truly love the product.

I love the simplicity of the system. The foam cannon is the 4th foam cannon I've bought over the years, but I can honestly say it is the best built one I've bought and the adjustments actually work! The tire dressing is great as well. It's super easy to apply and lasts a long time. My only hang-up was my own fault. I went too heavy on the One-wiper. This ended up using way too much product on my first wash and leaving some visible smears. Again, that's a technique issue, not a product issue. I'm certain that once I get my usage dialed, I'm gonna actually love washing my car!
PS - the tire pics are from 2 weeks after being treated! They still look amazing!

Never washed a car before. On my second try I was able to detail the outside of my SUV in about 50 minutes and it looks spotless. Tutorials are very straightforward and the instructions are clear. Overall a great purchase if you want to take care of your car and don’t want to do all the research!

I'm new to washing my own with this kind of care. As mentioned, it took me a couple of tries to get efficient at it, but it's working great. Love it.
John N.5/5Verified
I was a little unsure of the product at first but decided to go all in and give it a try.
I literally cut the time in half with amazing results! Less products and less time is what I was wanting.
Will definitely keep buying these products.

Works great, better than expected. The initial foam wash and spray down removed almost everything and the spray wax left a shinier finish than I though while also cleaning up any remaining spots!
Anthony G.5/5Verified
It works as advertised, maybe better.

Best stuff I have used and I’m 73. It works as advertised.

Used the wash kit for the first time and it was so easy and cleaned and made my car so shiny. When I was doing the final step buffing the side of my with the One Wiper and Perfect Paint towel, I thought I saw something move in my peripheral vision. When i turned to look I realized was my own reflection in the paint! Excellent!
