Care Guides
Expert tips for a better finish
Straightforward, no-hype guidance on getting the most out of your automotive care products — starting with the drying towel.
The Heatstate drying method
Three moves that turn wash-day's last step into the most satisfying one.
Lay
Place Nightstream flat across the wet panel.
Pull
Guide it gently across the surface without unnecessary pressure.
Finish
Fold to a clean section for mirrors, glass, edges, and tighter areas.
Pro tips
Six things that change your finish
Start with a wet sheet
Lay the towel flat while the panel is still sheeting water. Nightstream works by pulling water into the loop, so a wet surface is the whole point — don't pre-wipe.
No pressure, just glide
Let the weight of the towel do the work. Pressing down pushes water ahead of the towel instead of into it — the opposite of what you want.
Flip before you wring
Two plush faces means a clean surface to flip to mid-panel. You only need to wring when both sides are loaded.
Confirm coating compatibility
Safe for ceramic coatings, wraps, and PPF in principle — but always check your specific coating or film manufacturer's care guidance first.
Use a drying aid if you like
Nightstream plays well with detail sprays and drying aids. Follow the product's instructions for dilution and application.
Wash it right
No fabric softener, no bleach, separate from cotton, low heat. Softener coats the fibers and kills absorbency.
Keep your towel working like new
A twisted-loop microfiber towel lasts for hundreds of washes when it's cared for. Follow these steps and it will keep pulling water long after a cheap towel has gone flat.
