The dad who washes the car properly and then dries it with whatever towel is in the boot
What it is
Bowden’s Own’s plush microfibre drying towel at 40 x 70cm, thick enough to dry a whole car without wringing it out. Sold new by an eBay Top Rated Australian seller in Ringwood, Victoria, with free postage and returns accepted.
Why we picked it
Drying is where most paint damage actually happens: a chamois or an old bath towel drags whatever grit survived the wash straight across the clear coat, and years of that is what turns dark paint hazy. A deep-pile microfibre lifts water instead of pushing it, so the towel never grips the panel. It is also the Bowden’s Own product Australians recommend to each other unprompted, which is the sort of thing a car dad has heard of and not got around to buying.
