The Bowden's Big Green Sucker is the fastest and easiest way to dry your car, manufactured from super soft, super thick microfibre weave with micro-soft edges to protect your vehicle from errant dirt and grit particles left behind after washing. This giant 400x700mm drying cloth can hold a massive 2.5L of water before needing to be wrung out making the job of drying your car so much faster.

The luxurious 1200GSM fabric is fantastic for keeping remaining grit and dirt away from your paint surface, ultimately reducing swirl marks. For even better performance and results pair this cloth with Bowdens Boss Gloss as a drying aid.

(Not sure if by joining up & applying credit the net cost would be $19.99??)

      Yes, seconding this advice. Loads of fluff streaks if you don't wash first

      • Christoshizz on 20/04/2021 - 20:46

        ive found with microfibre (especially these) you cant use fabric softener at all, it messes up the absorbency. so just a regular wash no softener and works great.

  • Circly on 19/04/2021 - 12:29

    These are really good. Give then a wash before first use.

  • freakthe on 19/04/2021 - 12:39

    yes they really suck.
    Sucks in a lot of water - it seems to be equivalent to three or four towels when drying my car after rinse.
    Definitely recommend it!

    What other colours do these come in?

  • iNeed2Pee on 19/04/2021 - 12:45

    I like my green towel but I have only used it like 10 times in a year or so. I have noticed however that it is now leaving lint after I wipe down. I washed it and it still has this problem. I have reverted to using my blue soft towel and some after glow….any ideas why this is occurring?

    • iShibby on 19/04/2021 - 12:54

      Do you wash it with other towels/clothes? I've had several of these down the years and they've never linted.

      • iNeed2Pee on 19/04/2021 - 14:50

        Hmm not that I can recall. If it has, is there anyway coming back from it? Or buy a new one…

        • iShibby on 19/04/2021 - 14:52
          +1

          If it’s just lint, try washing it a few times by itself. Don’t use any powder or fabric softener. I buy the cheapes liquid laundry detergent coles or woollies sell and use that. Powder will clog the fibres and ruin it. Also leave to drip dry or put it in a tumble dryer by itself

            @iShibby:

            put it in a tumble dryer by itself
            Why would you tumble dry it? Literally no reason at all and it cant be good for the towel, just let dry naturally.
            It's not that you gonna use it again soon anyway

            • iShibby on 19/04/2021 - 15:46
              +3

              @nikoris: tumble drying for a short period of time fluffs the fibres up. It's recommended by the Bowdens Own team so they must know.

        • ufsta on 19/04/2021 - 18:12

          Do you wash with powder detergent?

    • zmcgr1 on 19/04/2021 - 12:57

      Wash it with the microfibre wash, it doesn't ruin them.

      • iShibby on 19/04/2021 - 15:58

        Yep that's the best option if you have it, otherwise cheap plain liquid,

  • ak47wong on 19/04/2021 - 13:03

    Has anyone tried the $4.50 Kmart drying towel and can compare it with the Bowden's or the Meguiar's ones?

    • LowRange on 19/04/2021 - 13:35

      The Kmart towels are awesome for the money, and i'd rather 5 Kmart towels then one of the Meguiars green suckers for the same money.

    • onlinepred on 19/04/2021 - 13:45

      Meguiars one looks good, lower GSM, less thick, edges are a little more ridged and not as plush. At this price the Bowdens own is a no brainer.

      I use the Kmart ones for my wheels/interior/random house stuff

    • Heybargain on 19/04/2021 - 15:01

      I have one of the kmart ones. Haven't got the bowden's ones so can't compare, but I find I need to wring out the towel a couple of times drying my SUV (mazda cx-5).
      For $4.50 it does the job.

      • ATangk on 19/04/2021 - 16:23

        You should just get another towel.

      • ufsta on 19/04/2021 - 18:25

        I do my whole Santa Fe without needing to wring it out.

      • whitelie on 19/04/2021 - 18:55

        Take the nozzle off the hose and use the open end to sheet the water off the car before drying. Makes a huge difference to the amount of water left on the panels.

  • Skramit on 19/04/2021 - 13:33

    Just so it's clear how good these bad boys are… I can dry my entire car streak free with one of these towels without squeezing. The amount of water they absorb is incredible.

    • Logical on 19/04/2021 - 13:53

      After I wash my car I take it for a spin on the highway 110km/hr for a drip dry session and when I come back in 5 minutes it is dry….. So either spend 5 minutes drying with a green towel or 5 minutes having fun….

        That's good if youre only washing it but if you're trying to detail it ( clay / wax etc ) you don't wanna do this

        • Logical on 19/04/2021 - 15:22

          I have The Last Coat on it, so no need to clay/wax it etc

        Or 5 minutes driving down a dirty road making your freshly washed car dirty again lol.

        I use a leaf blower on mine to blow most of the excess water off then come over the top with the big green sucker, makes it very easy

        • Skramit on 19/04/2021 - 15:24

          Oooh might have to try the leaf blower on mine next time.

            @Skramit: it's good, especially all the cracks and crevices around the headlight, grill etc….

            Just be careful around the bottom of the car as you might blow stones up and you don't want that

    First wash with this one last week and tons of lint. Did washed it first. But it does hold tons of water. Hopefully will get better.

    • whitelie on 19/04/2021 - 18:57

      Did you tumble dry it after washing?
      Can also dry it on the line and then a few mins in the dryer to fluff it up…I've got 4 of these and never had a lint issue with them

  • DiscoJango on 19/04/2021 - 19:09

    my process is wash car > blow dry it, including all crevices using a leaf blower, car is around 95% dry at this stage > finish off the job with the big green sucker

    just be careful if you have a black car, even the tiniest bit of dirt being dragged around will leave scratch marks (currently on my 3rd black car, after saying never again after the first one…)

    • Logical on 19/04/2021 - 23:19

    I bought two of this. I can say that one is enough for mazda 3. But with two it's even easier. Love this stuff.

    Wash delicately before use to get rid of loose microfibres.

    • Logical on 19/04/2021 - 23:18

      If you have The Last Coat on your car then a quarter of this rag is all that you will need.

      No. But it’ll make it easier to look at yourself in the cars reflection.

    These microfibre drying towels are very old tech. If you think these perform well, twisted loop drying towels will blow your mind.

      Agree with you, using the Nv Car Care SUPERCELL and that is amazing.

  • Wing Nut on 20/04/2021 - 08:26

    Some bargain shops sell Sedona cleaning items including a very similar double layer, thick, bright green & grey, microfibre drying cloth for less than $5. Although about 1/2 the size of Bowden's Sucker, you can buy 5 - 6 for about the same price. Stitch them together and you have either one big double thickness 'big sucker' or 2 - 3 very thick suckers. After blowing away the worst of the final rinse water, just two of these (used as-is) are enough to dry off the car perfectly. Being cheap, it's no big deal when one cops some grease, grime or tar - it becomes the dirty cloth.

    • DiscoJango on 20/04/2021 - 08:41

      if your drying cloths are covered in grime, grease or tar then your not washing your car properly.

    This is a fantastic product and a fantastic Queensland-based company who don't send profits overseas, and in fact manufacture 99% of their products in Australia (even down to their hand-applied labels which are stuck on by the endeavour foundation). Who cares if you can get an almost-as-good product off the internet for a bit less money, support Aussie made.

  • FAIL on 20/04/2021 - 14:19

    I've got one and thoroughly recommend it. So much so that I just bought a second one. I've used a few different versions and this is by far the best one I've used.

  • [Deactivated] on 22/04/2021 - 08:15

    Kmart. $6. Work fine.

  • Naigrabzo on 23/04/2021 - 12:20

    Can't you just use the leaf blower to dry ya car????
