“I detail cars on the side and started using this on client vehicles. Clients actually ask what towel I’m using.”
Jason L. — Verified buyer
“Dried my WRX in literally two passes. Didn’t have to wring it out once. The GSM on this thing is no joke.”
Brandon W. — Verified buyer
“Used this on a PPF wrap for the first time and was nervous. Zero issues. Glides right over the film.”

Why GSM matters
GSM is grams per square metre: how much microfiber is in the towel. At 1300 GSM the Nova is a heavy, long-pile towel, which is what lets it pick up a lot of water in each pass.
Common Questions
Why pay $30 for one towel?
Cheap utility towels are thin and low-pile; they push water around rather than picking it up. The Nova is 1300 GSM and 60 × 90 cm, built to dry a car in a pass or two. One good towel, cared for properly, replaces a drawer full of thin ones.
Can I use it on ceramic-coated or PPF-wrapped cars?
We use the Nova on our own coated and wrapped cars. The twisted-loop weave has no hard stitched edges and no tag. Wash it before first use, keep it off the ground, and never dry a dirty car.
How do I look after it?
Wash cold (30°C / 86°F max) with a microfiber-safe detergent, no fabric softener, and air dry or tumble dry low with no heat. Wash it separately from cotton so it doesn’t pick up lint.
