Absolutely great price for this towel, cheapest it's ever been.

Free Ignition members can get free delivery over $50 spend.

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.

  • Super absorbent microfibre towel that literally sucks water into its fibres, so you can dry in half the time.
  • Ultra soft and thick fibres minimise any chance of dirt or grit micro-scratching your paint when drying.
  • Bright green colour, to easily see dirt in the cloth, and not wipe it back into your paint.
  • Nice big 40 x 70cm in size
  • Holds 2 and half litres of water in its fibres, that's some serious sucking.

As always, enjoy :)

        Yeah just so you can rotate them and/or do more than one car in a day. I wash mine with the rest of my microfibre i
        on their own so not in a position to wash them often

      • Nos 4r2 on 25/11/2021 - 21:05

        I have the mothers premium drying towel and it has been great. I'm assuming this will be the same quality of towel and will probably get one of these.

        If you get dirt on your towel it's done, so wouldn't mind having a back up just in case I drop or drag the other towel on the ground or something.

    • DmytroP on 27/11/2021 - 09:12

      I found the twist loop towel is working even better:

      It's one tough sucker but I guess it depends on how frequently you wash your car. If anyone's wondering yes I am a rocket scientist.

    Costco microfibre towels work well.

    I must have been unlucky with my green towel.
    It left lint everywhere:(

    • yikes914 on 25/11/2021 - 18:47

      first few washes, mine did the same and then it stopped, not too sure whether I got a bad one or just how it's meant to behave

      • OnepunchDan on 25/11/2021 - 18:58

        It stopped for you? Perhaps all the loose fibers have been plucked out lol.

        I did some research(had the same issue) and I believe it's because there may be uneven surface on your car. Could be tree sap or leftover residue.

        This product might only work well on smooth surfaces without contaminants which is annoying as it's not easy removing them.

        • WhatWouldBiggieDo on 25/11/2021 - 19:02
          +2

          You absolutely should be removing all contaminants anyway. Wash, strip, clay, cleanse/compound, seal

          • iNeed2Pee on 25/11/2021 - 19:05

            @WhatWouldBiggieDo: Your telling me my old ve commodore had a better surface then my new Aurion 🤣.

            Anyway to combat the lint?
            Can I throw it in a wash and dryer to try and remove thode fibres?

            • Nos 4r2 on 25/11/2021 - 21:08
              +2

              @iNeed2Pee: Chuck it in the dryer with no heat, just air only. It will get rid of the lint and it fluffs up all the fibres again too.

              Don't ever use heat on these types of towels, it will destroy the microfibre.

  • nzcoops on 25/11/2021 - 18:45

    Genuine question. Half the price for 20 https://www.bunnings.com.au/morgan-microfibre-cleaning-cloth…, better value?
    Yes they're smaller, but we bought a 20 pack of these about 3 years ago. A dozen on rotation in the kitchen, a couple for car washing/drying, a couple for inside the car.

    I guess this Bowden's is 5x the gsm, fair play.

    • sparklemotion on 25/11/2021 - 19:01

      Not comparable at all, this one is made for drying. It is heavy, can easily dry a car without being wrung out once.

      • [Deactivated] on 25/11/2021 - 20:44
        +3

        i have the sucker but saying it can dry a car without being wrung once is a cop out , unless you drive a smart car that is (you know those 1 seat ugly looking vehicles)

        my hot hatch has ceramic coat which greatly aides in the drying process as well as a hydrophobic coating on top , as there is not a huge amount of water on the paint left over after a wash however it has to be wrung out after its done 2 sides not including the glass and the front of the car , which leaves the roof and the rear and the glass all around. it would be a little more tedious if i had a full sized sedan or SUV but still way better then using standard microfibers alone.

        its absolutely impossible to properly dry the car fully with just the big green sucker alone , by the time i have completed the aforementioned even if you wring out the sucker its still damp so when you go over an already wet panel ..yes you absorb the water but after you have gone past it there is still water reside left on the painted panel and its not completely dry.

        after years of using Costco microfiber towels because they were great value and better quality then a lot of other products out there and then upgrading to the big green sucker it had halved the time i spent drying the car which is huge but i have recently stepped up my game and treated myself to a big boy blower as an early xmas present to myself so i can halve the time again and won't need to worry about wringing out cloths or washing/drying them or even purchasing more down the track and actually be left with a completely dry car.

        yes the sucker is an amazing product but it doesn't work as well as you say it does.

        • Nos 4r2 on 25/11/2021 - 21:15

          Use the mothers premium drying towel. I have a full size suv and can dry it off with a single towel without wringing. That's with a wax sealant on the surface though so most of the water just runs straight off it.

        • mrtaital on 26/11/2021 - 15:43

          I've got a VE commodore and can easily dry it with one green sucker, either inefficient method or cleaning/maintenance of the cloth would cause your problem.

    • Nos 4r2 on 25/11/2021 - 21:13

      Those Morgan's towels are mega thin and no good to dry your car. I use them to wipe wax and to clean and dry tires and wheels. You can use 10 of them on your paintwork but you'll end up with streaks all over your car.

      One of these drying towels will dry off a full size SUV with a single towel without even having to wring it. Completely different product.

    Easily dry two cars, blow em out with a dryer and then finish off the drips with the happy ending towels.

    My big green sucker is now 3 and a bit years old, gets washed once a week with all my other microfibers and chucked in the dryer for 30 min to fluff up.
    Still dries like day one.

    I have one but personally prefer these instead: https://www.kmart.com.au/product/supreme-drying-towel/747825

    They don't hold as much water as the BGS but I find they are a lot easier to handle due to being thinner and less plush, the plushness makes them stick to the paint more than glide.

    For the price you can buy 4 or more which takes care of any issues with water holding capacity or getting it dirty.
