Finish Shine V2 Drying Aid16oz · mist on wet paint, then dry$27.00
Dry faster. Touch less.
01One towel, the whole car
The MAX holds enough water to dry a full sedan without wringing it out. Fewer passes means less contact with the paint and a faster finish.
02No swirls from drying
Most swirl marks come from a saturated towel dragging grit across wet paint. A towel that never saturates never drags.
03Streak-free, lint-free
Twisted loops pull water up into the towel instead of smearing it around, so glass and paint come out clear with no lint left behind.
04Safe on fresh installs
Hidden inside-sewn edges mean nothing on the perimeter can catch a curing ceramic or graphene coating, PPF or a wrap.
Built in three layers.
Two slick faces around a dedicated absorption core, with every edge sewn inside.
- Slick outer faceLow-friction twisted loop. This is the side that touches your paint, and it glides instead of grabbing.
- Absorption coreA dedicated interior layer that keeps pulling water after the outer face is soaked.
- Second outer faceIdentical slick face on the back. Flip it over and keep going.
- Hidden sewn edgeThe perimeter is folded and sewn inside the towel. No overlock seam to scratch.

FAQs
Quick answers from the Ethos team.
What makes a 1400 GSM towel better?
GSM is the weight of fiber per square meter. More fiber means more water held and more cushion between your hand and the paint, so the towel absorbs more and glides safer. The MAX adds a separate interior core on top of that, so it keeps absorbing after the outer face is wet.
How many cars will one towel dry?
A sedan in about two passes and a full-size truck in four or five, without wringing. For back-to-back vehicles, wring it out between cars.
Is it safe on ceramic or graphene coatings, PPF and wraps?
Yes. The edges are sewn inside the towel, so there is no seam on the perimeter to catch a fresh coating or scuff a film edge.
Is microfiber better than a chamois?
Yes. A chamois or sponge has a flat surface that can drag grit across the paint. Twisted-loop microfiber pulls water and any leftover particles up into the fibers and away from the surface.
How do I dry my car without swirl marks?
Use a clean, dedicated drying towel, lay it flat and drag it with no pressure. Don't scrub or rub in circles, and use a drying aid for extra lubrication.
How do I wash it, and how often?
Wash after every one or two uses, only with other clean microfiber. Machine wash cold with a microfiber detergent or a mild detergent with no additives. Skip fabric softener and dryer sheets, then tumble dry on low or air dry.
What size is it?
24 × 36 in, a triple-layer 1400 GSM twisted-loop towel with a 70/30 polyester/polyamide blend.
