We Say
A huge, incredibly thirsty drying towel that makes light work of a freshly washed car. The Tank is built to soak up water quickly, without constantly stopping to wring it out.
There's something satisfying about using a really good drying towel, particularly one that can deal with most of a car before it starts feeling saturated. MaxShine The Tank is very much at the heavyweight end of the spectrum, with a dense 1600GSM twisted-loop construction and a generous 73 × 73cm size. It's designed to absorb large amounts of water with relatively little effort, making it especially appealing if you've got a larger vehicle to dry.
What we like about this type of towel is that you can simply lay it across a wet panel and gently draw it towards you, letting the fibres absorb the water rather than repeatedly rubbing the surface. The double-sided construction gives you plenty of usable drying area, while the concealed edges avoid the hard borders found on some cheaper towels. We'd use it after a proper wash with CARPRO Reset or another suitable shampoo. For anyone comparing different sizes and drying styles, our drying towels and equipment range is also worth exploring.

Description
MaxShine The Tank 1600GSM Drying Towel is a large-format automotive drying towel manufactured from a dense, double-sided twisted-loop microfibre fabric. Designed for high water absorption, its construction allows moisture to be collected efficiently from washed vehicle surfaces while minimising the need for repeated wiping.
The fabric combines 80% polyester and 20% polyamide, with a total weight of 1600 grams per square metre. Fine twisted-loop fibres are present on both sides of the towel, providing a large absorbent surface. MaxShine describes the construction as 800GSM per side, giving a combined 1600GSM specification.
The Tank measures approximately 73 × 73cm (29 × 29 inches) and features concealed, inward-rolled edges with reinforced stitching. This design avoids exposed hard borders that could otherwise come into contact with delicate finishes during drying. The towel is supplied in MaxShine's distinctive green colour.
Its large size and high-capacity construction make The Tank particularly suitable for drying larger cars, SUVs and other vehicles after washing. It can be used on compatible exterior paintwork and other smooth surfaces, provided they are clean and free from abrasive contamination.

How To Use
-
Wash and rinse the vehicle
Thoroughly wash the vehicle and rinse away all shampoo and loose contamination. Ensure the surfaces are clean before using the drying towel to minimise the risk of dragging dirt across the finish.
-
Lay the towel onto the surface
Place The Tank flat against a wet panel, allowing the twisted-loop fibres to absorb the water. For larger horizontal panels, spread the towel out to make use of its generous surface area.
-
Dry with gentle movements
Draw the towel carefully across the panel with minimal pressure. Work around the vehicle, turning or refolding the towel to expose fresh areas of microfibre as needed. Avoid dragging the towel across the ground or contaminated surfaces.
-
Wash and care for the towel
After use, wash separately from heavily soiled items using a suitable microfibre detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, and follow the towel's care label for washing and drying temperatures. Allow it to dry completely before storing in a clean, dust-free place.
