60 x 90 cm, about 24″ x 35″.
450 gsm, high absorbency.

How to dry without scratching
Make sure the towel is free of grit before you start.
Dry with a light touch. Let the towel do the work.
Wash after each use at 40°C (104°F) or below with a non-biological detergent. No bleach, no fabric softener.
Air dry or tumble dry low, and store it somewhere dust-free.
It’s bigger than the Meguiar’s Water Magnet towel we carry, so it suits a big bagger or a bike-and-car wash day. Once it’s dry, park it somewhere it stays clean, like a Speedway Shelter.
