While the towel does not appear to be listed on B&M’s website, shoppers can locate their nearest store here. Products listed on B&M’s website include the £4.50 RAC Microfibre Towel and the £4 RAC Micro Fibre Drying Mitt.
The product description for the RAC Microfibre Towel says: “Soft microfibre towel creates a streak-free finish. Highly absorbent. Quick drying & soft touch microfibre construction. Supersoft & supersized towel for showroom perfect finish.”
The product description for the RAC Micro Fibre Drying Mitt reads: “Keep your car as clean as possible with this superb micro fibre drying mitt from RAC. Place it on your hand then comfortably and easily apply to your car, either using it to dry soap and water up or to wash it in.
“Micro fibre texture gets closer to your car’s surface, giving it an extra layer of cleaning.” It adds that the mitt is ‘super soft’ and offers a ‘closer clean.’
Halfords recommends using microfibre towels to dry the body of your car before waxing and polishing. The experts also recommend waiting for cool weather when cleaning your car.
Sharing ‘the best car cleaning tips’ in a blog, the Halfords team said: “While summer gives you ample opportunity for car washing, it’s still important to pick your moment to apply certain products.
“High temperatures and blazing sunshine will make your car hot to the touch, and washing with formulas or adding wax in these conditions could end up damaging your paintwork. It’s best to apply finishes on cooler days when there isn’t as much sunshine. Better still, apply finishes and leave them to dry inside a garage or away from heat and direct sunlight.”
