Care Guide
- Initial Wash: Always wash your new car drying towel before its first use to remove any loose fibers and prime the twisted loop technology for maximum absorbency.
- Detergent Choice: Use a dedicated microfiber detergent, like DARC Reset, which is specifically formulated to deep clean and unclog the fibers of a professional car drying towel.
- Temperature Control: Machine wash on a cold or lukewarm setting; high heat can melt the delicate synthetic fibers of your microfiber car drying towel, reducing its ability to absorb water.
- Avoid Contaminants: Never use fabric softeners or bleach, as these leave a coating on the towel that kills absorbency and causes streaking during the drying process.
- Drying Instructions: Tumble dry on the lowest heat setting or air dry in a dust-free area to keep your car drying towel soft and effective for years.

The Best Drying Towel
" I was shocked it actually dried my entire truck without me having to wring it out. Every other towel I own would’ve tapped out halfway. "
Most drying towels spread water. HydroLoop removes it.
Most people don’t mind washing their car.
What ruins the experience is everything that comes after. You rinse, grab a towel, and suddenly you’re chasing water across panels, wringing it out every few minutes, and still finding streaks..
It’s not your technique — it’s what most towels do: they push water around instead of absorbing it.
That’s why drying feels slow, messy, and frustrating — even when the rest of the wash went perfectly.
One towel Dries the whole car
no switching, no stopping
HydroLoop isn’t faster because you move quicker — it’s faster because it absorbs water instead of pushing it around.

Absorbs All Water Instantly
Twisted loop microfiber pulls water off the surface instantly, trapping it deep in the fibers to prevent scratches.
Zero Wringing Required
As the towel fills, it gets heavier — which actually helps it lay flat and pull water from large panels without stopping to wring it out.
Self-Weight Drying Technology
On hoods, roofs, and doors, HydroLoop uses its weight and absorbency to do the work for you — especially on larger vehicles

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a twisted loop drying towel different from regular microfiber?
When you’re drying a vehicle, not all microfiber towels perform the same. Both absorb water, but how they do it—and how much they hold—makes all the difference.
Here’s the full picture:
- Fiber structure & water pickup
Regular microfiber uses short, split fibers that create lots of bite for cleaning and buffing. They absorb, but on large wet panels they can load up quickly and start dragging.Twisted loop uses long, looped yarns that form continuous capillaries. Those loops create more surface area and channel water into the towel with less drag, so you clear panels faster.
- Density (GSM) & capacity
Many general‑purpose microfiber towels sit in the ~300–600 GSM range. A drying‑specific twisted loop like HydroLoop runs 1300 GSM, so there’s simply more fiber per square inch to hold water. That higher capacity means fewer passes and no mid‑job wringing for most vehicles. - Finish quality on paint (especially black)
Short‑pile towels can leave light streaking or faint haze on big, freshly rinsed panels—very visible on black cars. The long, soft loops of a twisted loop towel lift water off and leave the surface dry and clean, which reduces the need for follow‑up passes that risk marring. - Glide & safety
Twisted loop towels glide with less resistance when fully wet. Paired with an edgeless cut, they help keep any stray grit away from the paint, minimizing the chance of micro‑scratches on coated or delicate finishes. - Use cases
Use twisted loop for drying after the wash on cars, trucks, SUVs, and coated vehicles. Use regular microfiber (or waffle weave) for glass, interiors, final buffing, and product residue removal. - HydroLoop specifics
HydroLoop is a 24" x 36", 1300 GSM twisted loop car drying towel designed for high capacity and speed. In practice, it can hold about a gallon of water and dry a full‑size vehicle without stopping, then air‑dries ready for the next round.
What does 1300 GSM mean in a drying towel?
GSM stands for grams per square meter. It’s a measure of fabric density — essentially how much fiber is packed into a square meter of material. The higher the GSM, the thicker, heavier, and more absorbent the towel will be.
Fiber Density & Performance
A typical household microfiber towel comes in around 200–400 GSM. Many “detailing” microfiber towels used for interiors or quick wipe-downs sit in the 300–600 GSM range. These are light, easy to handle, and good for removing product residue, but they lack the capacity needed for drying an entire vehicle after a wash.
HydroLoop is engineered at 1300 GSM, more than double the density of most microfiber. That extra weight comes from significantly more fiber per square inch, which translates directly into higher absorbency. In practice, it allows the towel to hold around a gallon of water without oversaturation.
Drying Efficiency
High GSM density means each pass collects more water. Instead of wiping the same panel multiple times or swapping towels mid-job, a 1300 GSM twisted loop drying towel can dry large panels like hoods, roofs, and doors in a single pass. This makes the process faster, with fewer streaks and less risk of marring delicate finishes.
Feel & Handling
A 1300 GSM towel feels plush and heavy in the hand compared to thinner microfiber. Some users notice the added weight as it absorbs water, but that actually works to your advantage. The towel drapes across surfaces and “flops” water off with little effort, especially on flat areas like roofs and trunks.
Use Cases
- 1300 GSM twisted loop → Bulk water removal after rinsing, drying full cars, trucks, SUVs, and boats without wringing.
- 300–600 GSM microfiber → Interiors, glass, buffing off wax or polish, and lighter cleaning jobs.
HydroLoop specifics
HydroLoop combines 1300 GSM density with a 24" x 36" size and twisted loop construction. Together, that makes it capable of drying an entire vehicle — from compact cars to full-size trucks — using a single towel.
Will this towel work for black cars?
Yes. Black cars are the most unforgiving when it comes to drying. Even minor streaks, light haze, or faint scratches stand out immediately. That’s why the choice of towel matters more on dark finishes than on any other color.
Why Black Paint Is Tricky
Black paint shows everything. Traditional short-pile microfiber can leave faint streaking or residue when drying large wet panels, and repeated passes increase the risk of micro-marring. If there’s any grit left behind, a low-quality towel can drag it across the surface, leaving visible swirls under sunlight.
How Twisted Loop Helps
A twisted loop drying towel is designed to pull water up and into the fibers rather than smear it across the surface. The long, looped yarns create capillaries that absorb water quickly, while the edgeless cut prevents the hard stitched borders that can leave marks. This means fewer passes, less drag, and a cleaner, streak-free finish.
HydroLoop on Black Cars
The HydroLoop’s 1300 GSM density and 24" x 36" size give it the capacity to dry an entire vehicle in one go. On black paint, that means you remove bulk water fast before it has a chance to spot, and you don’t have to keep going back over the same area. The soft twisted loop microfiber glides over delicate finishes, leaving them dry and spotless.
Safe on Modern Finishes
Beyond traditional black paint, HydroLoop is safe on ceramic coatings, graphene coatings, vinyl wraps, and PPF. These surfaces are designed to repel water but can still show streaking if not dried properly. The HydroLoop’s construction ensures water is lifted cleanly with no residue left behind.
Real-World Use
- For black daily drivers → one towel dries the whole vehicle quickly, no streaks left behind.
- For show cars or coated vehicles → gentle enough for repeat use, strong enough for large panels.
How big is the HydroLoop towel?
The HydroLoop measures 24 inches by 36 inches (2 feet by 3 feet). That oversized format is what allows it to replace the stack of smaller towels most people are used to. Size matters in drying towels because larger dimensions mean more coverage per swipe and the ability to dry large panels without stopping.
Why Size Matters
- Coverage → A 24x36 towel can be laid flat across a hood, roof, or trunk lid, pulling water from wide panels in a single pass. Smaller 16x16 microfiber towels force you to wipe section by section, which takes longer and often leaves streaks.
- Capacity → The bigger the towel, the more twisted loop microfiber it contains. At 1300 GSM, HydroLoop’s surface area translates into the ability to hold about a gallon of water — enough to dry a full-size car, truck, or SUV without swapping towels.
- Weight Advantage → As it absorbs water, the towel becomes heavier. That weight helps it drape and “flop” onto surfaces, pulling water off with little effort.
Comparison to Standard Towels
- Standard microfiber (16x16, 300–400 GSM): good for interiors or light cleaning, not efficient for drying.
- Mid-size drying towels (20x24, 600–800 GSM): better, but usually need two or more to finish a large vehicle.
- HydroLoop (24x36, 1300 GSM): one towel, one job. Built to handle full vehicles without stopping.
Use Cases for the HydroLoop Drying Towel
- Cars → Cover doors, hoods, and trunks in fewer passes.
- Trucks & SUVs → Reach roofs and bedsides without constant repositioning.
- Boats & RVs → Handle large flat surfaces where smaller towels would be inefficient.
HydroLoop specifics
At 24x36 inches and 1300 GSM, HydroLoop is not just large but engineered for speed and absorbency. That combination is why professional detailers and car owners alike rely on it as their go-to car drying towel.
How much water can the DARCSUD towel absorb?
This towel holds up to 1 gallon of water—that blows away standard microfiber towels.
Is the DARCSUD towel safe on ceramic coatings?
Absolutely. The ultra-soft fibers are 100% safe for ceramic, graphene, wraps, and all delicate finishes.
Won't the towel be heavy if it hold that much water?
Yes, it gets heavier as it absorbs—but that’s the secret to effortless drying. The weight presses the towel against the surface, helping you dry faster with zero effort.
Do I need more than one towel to dry my vehicle?
In most cases, no. The HydroLoop is designed so a single towel can handle an entire wash-dry cycle on cars, trucks, and SUVs without needing to stop or switch. That’s the advantage of its 24x36 size and 1300 GSM twisted loop microfiber construction — together, they provide enough absorbency to hold about a gallon of water.
Why One Towel Is Enough
- Capacity → With more fiber density than multiple regular microfiber towels combined, HydroLoop absorbs bulk water without oversaturating.
- Coverage → Its oversized footprint lets you clear large panels (hoods, roofs, doors) in just a few passes.
- Efficiency → Instead of juggling two or three smaller towels, one HydroLoop dries faster and leaves fewer streaks.
When a Second Towel Helps
- Glass & Mirrors → Some detailers prefer to keep one HydroLoop strictly for paint and another clean towel for glass.
- Professional Detailing → Pros drying multiple cars back-to-back may keep extra HydroLoops on hand to speed workflow.
- Heavy Vehicles → On very large vehicles (RVs, boats, oversized trucks), a second towel can save time, but one HydroLoop can still finish the job if needed.
HydroLoop specifics
HydroLoop was engineered so that most drivers — whether drying a sedan, a lifted truck, or an SUV — only need one towel to get the job done quickly, safely, and streak-free.

I bought one to test it out and ended up ordering another. Worth it.
Used it right out of the package and it worked great. No complaints.
I’ve used a lot of drying towels over the years and this one actually lives up to what they show. One towel did my Tacoma no streaks left behind.
Wasn’t sure it would actually work like the videos but yeah… it does. Dried my Silverado with one towel and didn’t have to wring it out once. Pretty impressed honestly.
I normally go through 3–4 towels when drying my truck. This one handled most of it by itself. I’ll probably grab another one just to rotate.
