Overview

Meet the Thirsty Petrol Head Towel, the most absorbent drying towel on the planet. It’s designed to shift your car cleaning into high gear, so you can dry your vehicle in record time with a perfect, streak-free finish.

After washing your vehicle with Petrol Head: Car Shampoo, drying with the Thirsty Petrol Head Towel has never been easier! Perfect for use on all surfaces, it a unique, heavy-duty weave that holds a massive volume of water. Its generous size means it is big enough to dry an entire car or SUV without the need for constant, exhausting wringing. By quickly removing water droplets before they can evaporate, you prevent mineral spots and road film residue from forming, ensuring your pride and joy looks its best with minimal effort.

Lay out the towel

Spread the Thirsty Petrol Head Towel flat across the wet surface of the roof or bonnet.

Pull to dry in one pass.

Using the edges, gently pull the towel towards you, allowing the ultra-absorbent fibres to soak up every drop of water in a single pass.

Finish with the glass.

Continue this process across all panels, finishing with the windows and mirrors for a crystal-clear, showroom-ready finish.

A Helpful Tip From Our Experts

For the ultimate streak-free result, ensure you have first washed your vehicle with Petrol Head: Car Shampoo & Shine to remove all surface grit. Always dry your car in a cool, shaded area. If the sun dries the water before you get to it, mineral spots can form that even the most absorbent towel can't prevent!

Petrol Head Car Shampoo & Shine

I recently purchased your Tiger's Paw & Shower Witch to really clean my daughter's bathroom before her house goes on the market. I never thought that the glass screen that is at the side of the bath would be sparkling again, but, it does! I was very impressed with ease of using Tigers Paw. Amazing product. Kim the store manager was magnificent in ensuring that we understood the product and how best to use it. How great to have that commitment to the product she sells. Will definitely recommend!

I've been looking for help to kill the weeds between the cobblestones in my court yard and the pesky ones that come up in my riverstone garden, without having to worry about my cat. This stuff is amazing. Weeds were gone in 2 hours and I could not be happier. I bought the concentrate and a sprayer so I can zap those weeds whenever they pop up with little effort. As an older person it's great to be able to spot spray without bending down. Very easy to mix as well so what's not to like. Already I have recommended to my neighbour and family. A must product in the garden shed!

Product works well on pine decks, only requiring medium scrubbing with the long handled brush. However with hardwood decks such as our purple heart deck it does require A LOT of scrubbing. Had to get knee pads and scrubbed on all fours for half a day with a hand held brush. I think I expected it to be easier to be honest but still happy with the outcome.

I just purchased this today and came straight home to try it out. This really is as good as it says and so easy to use. Hardly any pressure applied and my shower doors are like new. Well worth purchasing!!!!!

Amazing stuff! Extremely easy to clean the windows with a quick spray, wipe and rinse. No hard scrubbing is needed. My husband and I got out windows done on our 100m2 house in about 15 minutes. Used with the extending window cleaning pole, this stuff makes window cleaning a breeze.

It is el supremo at dissolving kitchen grease. Even stuff jif just gets bogged down in, gets dissolved in an instant. I was amazed at even on walls a light spray and wipe with a handy towel already damp with shower witch did the trick. We had some baskets that sit on top of the pantry ( for recipe books) that were pretty grimy, so I took them outside to them a good soaking. After a 10 min hose off , they were like new. I'm amazed. Cheers

Fantastic product, spray, light scrub, rinse and done. So easy. Commonsense is required - it contains chemicals, rinse to stop processing

Cannot recommend this product highly enough. Have a young cat (super stressed following the sudden passing of his cuddle buddy) indiscriminately urinating outside his litter tray. Have cleaned, vinegared & tried every product available (including heavy duty commercial enzyme cleaners). Nothing has worked. We were at our wits end and at the stage of carpet replacement when we spotted this product on a TV ad. Arrived within 48 hours of ordering and LOVE it! One application & the pong has definitely gone! If you have pets, you have to have this in your cleaning cupboard! Thankyou Wet & Forget for another amazing product!

Not going to lie, I was dubious that something could really do the job of removing pet smells, feel like I’ve tried everything on the market, but most things just mask the smell, not fix it! Sprayed this as soon as I got it on my carpet where my dog is guilty of reoffending.. got home from work the next day and went to the offending corner for a sniff…. And it’s less than half as offensive! Can’t wait to sniff that corner tomorrow (and that maybe the weirdest thing I’ve ever said on the internet) Highly recommend!!!

Frequently Asked Questions on Thirsty 'Petrol Head' Car Towel

Can I use this towel to dry my mag wheels and tyres?

While it's incredibly effective on all surfaces, we recommend drying your paintwork & exterior glass first. To keep your towel in pristine condition, use a separate microfibre for wheels to avoid transferring heavy brake dust or grease onto your car's bodywork.

Does the towel lose its absorbency over time?

Not if cared for correctly. This is a heavy-duty tool built for years of service; simply machine wash it with our BEE Laundry Powder 2-3 times a year and air dry to maintain its legendary thirst for water.

Is it safe for my car's paintwork?

Absolutely. It is made from premium, soft microfibre designed to lovingly care for your paintwork, leaving a beautiful, glowing shine without the risk of scratching.

Does it work on glass and mirrors?

Yes, it is perfect for removing water droplets from exterior glass to ensure a streak-free, crystal-clear finish every time.

How do I maintain the towel after use?

Always hang your towel to air dry in a clean spot. Never leave it on the ground as trapped grit and dirt can hitch a ride and scratch your paintwork during the next dry.
