Expert Notes

The Soft99 Super Water Absorber is a drying towel for drying cars after washing. Lay it flat or glide it gently over each panel from the roof down, turning it to a dry side as it fills, and dry the glass last. Store it clean and dry, and keep it out of reach of children. The Drivers HQ stocks a wider range of Soft99 car care products. Wash it after use as the maker directs, with no fabric softener, and let it dry fully before storing.

  • Bonnets and roofs
  • Doors and wings
  • Door mirrors
  • Exterior plastic trim

Caution: Dry with light pressure, never scrub, and never use a towel that has touched the ground on the paint. Keep it out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is it for?

It is a Soft99 drying towel for drying cars after washing.

Why the quilted pattern?

Soft99 says its quilted design with a triangular cross-section reduces the risk of scratching and lint.

How do I avoid water spots?

Dry the car soon after rinsing, out of direct sun, turning the towel to a dry side as it fills.

What if I drop it?

Rinse or wash it before it touches the paint again, since grit from the ground can scratch.

How do I wash it?

Wash it after use as the maker directs, with no fabric softener, and let it dry fully.

Can I use fabric softener?

No, fabric softener clogs the fibres and makes the towel less absorbent.

The Brand

Soft99

Soft99 is a Japanese car care maker based in Osaka.

Many Soft99 waxes come in separate dark and light versions, matched to the colour of the paint.

Soft99 waxes, sealants and shampoos

Fusso Coat. Fusso Coat 12 Months, in Dark and Light, is made with fluorine resins and waxes and rated by Soft99 for up to 12 months of water repellent protection. Wash and dry the car, apply it thinly, and once it has dried, after 5 to 20 minutes depending on the temperature, wipe it off with a soft dry towel. Fusso Coat Speed & Barrier is the fluoropolymer spray for keeping it topped up, rated at up to 180 days.

Gloss waxes. The Kiwami blends carnauba with synthetic polymers for up to three months of deep gloss, in Black/Dark and Silver/Light. The King of Gloss is a mineral wax and synthetic resin blend for black and dark paint, and Water Block Wax is a strongly water repellent polymer sealant in Dark and Light.

Sprays. Fukupika Spray Strong Type cleans and waxes in one spray and wipe with no drying or re-wiping, using fluorine resin for up to six months of water repellency. Bazooka Rain Drop goes on the wet car after washing and protects paint, glass, plastic and chrome.

Shampoos. pH Neutral Creamy Shampoo is a compound-free, 1:50 shampoo that is safe on coated cars and works in foamers, Perfect Foam Type S is an 11ml single-wash concentrate diluted 1:100, and The Kiwami shampoo comes in Dark and Silver to match the waxes.

Soft99 Glaco glass care and detailing tools

Glaco. Soft99 launched its Glaco glass water repellents in 1991. The roll-on coatings leave the screen repelling rain so it is blown off by the airflow as you drive: Ultra Glaco Roll On in 70ml, Glaco Roll On in 120ml and the 300ml Glaco Roll On MAX, made to mark 30 years of Glaco. Glaco Mirror Coat Zero is a 40ml spray for side mirrors that leaves a layer of fine silica crystals. Prepare the glass first with the Glaco Glass Compound Roll On, which uses two abrasives to remove stains, traffic film and old Glaco.

Tools. The Super Water Absorber is a quilted drying cloth; wash it without fabric softener. The Surface Smoother Mini is a 100g clay bar for bonded contamination. The Exterior Brush has synthetic bristles for wheels, grilles and badges, the Interior Detailing Brush natural bristles for vents and dashboards, and the Digloss Kamitore wheel sponge cut-pile microfibre over a durable inner sponge. Keep it all in the Detailing Kuferek Bag, which holds four waxes and four 500ml bottles.
