Towels, Pads, & Applicators

The Towels, Pads, & Applicators collection brings together the microfiber towels, wash media, applicators, scrub pads, clay tools, and towel care products that support almost every step of the detailing process. From drying towels and utility towels to wash mitts, coating applicators, wax pads, scrub pads, clay towels, and microfiber detergent, this collection is built for detailers who want the right towel or pad for the right job.

Good detailing depends on clean, purpose-built contact tools. The towel you use to dry a vehicle, the mitt you use to wash paint, the applicator you use for coatings, and the scrub pad you use on interiors all affect the final result. Using the wrong towel or pad can lead to streaking, wasted product, cross-contamination, poor coverage, or unnecessary marring. This collection helps you build a smarter towel and applicator system around the way you actually detail.

This collection includes Drying Towels, Utility Towels, Towel Soap, Mitts & Pads, Applicators & Scrub Pads, and Clay Towels & Applicators, along with That Detail Shop products like the TDS 400 UT, TDS 1400 DT, TDS 1600 DT, TDS Wash Mitt, TDS Clay Towel, and TDS Tire Shine Applicator.

  2. Use wash mitts and wash pads for contact washing with proper soap and lubrication.
  3. Use drying towels for clean exterior drying after washing or rinseless wash work.
  4. Use utility towels for interiors, door jambs, trim, polish removal, coatings, and general-purpose detailing tasks.
  5. Use applicators and scrub pads for waxes, sealants, coatings, tire dressings, interior cleaners, and surface cleaning.
  6. Use clay towels, clay pads, clay mitts, or clay bars for bonded contamination removal before polishing or protection.
