Wash Method

Washing is defined as the removal of loose contaminants from any surface. For washing Meguiar’s recommends any Meguiar’s Car Wash Soap, Meguiar’s Microfiber Wash Mitt, Meguiar's Water Magnet Microfiber Drying Towel, and two 5-gallon buckets.

Choosing a Car Wash

Meguiar's recommends using a pH-balanced, non-detergent car wash using the correct dilution with a high quality wash mitt, like Meguiar's Microfiber Wash Mitt. All Meguiar's car washes are non-detergent and offer excellent cleaning ability while lubricating the surface to help dirt and grime glide off the paint instead of grind into the paint.

Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax is the perfect way to clean and shine a car's finish in-between regular waxing, boosting its protection, glossiness and shine. Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax is compatible with all Meguiar's washes and waxes. It features hybrid carnauba/polymer wax protection, incredible sudsing action safely lifts dirt, grime, and enhance gloss and shine in one easy step.

Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo and Conditioner is a rich and luxurious product designed to both wash and condition paint in one easy step. The premium formula gently foams away tough dirt, road grime and contaminants without compromising wax protection. Its premium formula gently foams away dirt and grime and its conditioners reveal color and clarity.

Meguiar's Deep Crystal Car Wash contains special ingredients that extend the life of the suds. Dirt and grime are quickly loosened and removed while wax protection is preserved. It also contains ingredients with special foam removes dirt and grime without harming the paint. It does not strip wax protection, like dishwashing detergents. Never use dish washing detergent as it may strip wax protection, promote oxidation and lead to premature deterioration of vinyl, plastic and rubber trim.

Two Bucket Method

Meguiar's recommends the “Two Bucket” method in conjunction with the Meguiar's Grit Guard to reduce the chances of inflicting swirls into the paint. The two-bucket method makes use of one bucket for a wash solution and a second bucket with just plain water to use as a rinse for Meguiar's Microfiber Wash Mitt.

• 1. Use the water bucket to dunk the Microfiber Wash Mitt into the soapy water bucket and wash a panel or section of the vehicle.
• 2. Dunk the Microfiber Wash Mitt and any loose contaminants it picked up, into the rinse bucket, swish it around and wring it out.
• 3. The Grit Guard is simply a baffle in the bottom of the bucket, preventing loose contaminants from being dispersed back into the water the next time the wash mitt is rinsed.
• 4. Now dunk the mitt into the soapy water bucket and wash the next panel or section of the vehicle. As an added safety precaution insert a Grit Guard into the soapy water bucket as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent drying towel! April 9, 2011

By Chris F

While I don't necessary condone drying cars with a towel (micro-marring, even with microfiber), this is an awesome one that should (for the most part) keep your car safe from any debris that might be left on there as you dry. Remember to blot not swipe! Wring out the towel often and visually and physically inspect for dirt and debris. I usually wash after a use and keep it in a sealed (clean) 5 gallon bucket so no dirt/debris gets in. You will inevitably have to wring this out a couple times while drying a car, but that can't be a negative? You want a towel twice the size go for it - but you'll be touching that to the ground or wheel or something else accidentally drawing up some dirt with it. The size and functionality of this is perfect, I highly recommend this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best towel ever. May 27, 2007

I have tried just about every drying product out there and always ended up back with my old bath towels (cotten of course) until I came across this towel. Excellent absorbsion. It takes only one towel to do the whole car, does not leave streaks. I usually use 2 or 3 bath towels. I first use the California blade then this towel. I stocked up on them because they are hard to find around here. Nothing else compares.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works Well October 14, 2009

By D. Lehman

This towel really can absorb a lot of water similar to a chamois, yet is easier to wring out. Using just one towel I had to wring it out numerous times to dry the entire car (water was really beaded up), and once wet it does leave a slight bit of moisture behind...not enough to spot though. Best thing, it doesn't leave any lint on the surface of the car like a terry towel. Only complaint is that it could be a bit larger.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lives up to its Name! February 6, 2007

By Looking for sales

The Meguiars water magnet lives up to its name. It dries great and does not scratch. Make sure to wash the car with a brush before drying to get all the dirt off, simple powerwashing will not remove all dirt. Do not use one of those california water blades, sand and dirt particles get swiped across the side and leave tons of tiny scrathes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice but one is not enough. February 14, 2012

By Timothy M. Monaghan

This towel is a real soaker and it pat dries very nicely. Although I disagree that one is enough even for a smaller sedan style car. Two seem to work out great for my jetta sportwagen.

Works ok, but is smaller size than the blue ones offered here on Amazon. Due to the size difference the Blue ones are a much better value.

5.0 out of 5 stars At last a towel purchase that doesn't leave me feeling soaked! September 27, 2011

By Deacon Boogie

These towels work as advertised. I can't compliment them enough. They absorb prodigious amounts of water from the surface of my car. For some reason, I expected "big brand" mediocrity from these towels. Boy was I wrong! These are excellent drying towels and no detailer's garage should be without a set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect car Towel May 11, 2011

By Scott Soto

Soft and really soaks up the water, and it rings out easy. Its perfect. The only thing that would make it better would be a hard case to carry it in.
