Meet Little Megalodon: The Dual-Duty Towel That Punches Above Its Weight

Chemical Guys is a trusted leader in the car care industry, known for unmatched expertise and innovative products. With a deep passion for automotive detailing, we provide the knowledge you can trust to achieve exceptional results.

For many drivers, drying a car is where the wheels come off — streaks, smears, lint, water spots, and uneven finishes can turn a satisfying wash into a “why do I even try?” moment. And while massive drying towels have been getting most of the attention lately, sometimes what you really need is something smaller, more controlled, and ready to handle all the little nooks and crannies. That’s where the new Little Megalodon Dual-Pile Drying Towels come in.


Little Megalodon takes everything people love about pro-grade twisted loop drying towels — killer absorption, streak-free finishing, and plush feel — and shrinks it into a more maneuverable 13.7” x 13.7” format. Packaged as a 2-pack for good measure, this compact combo is ideal for drivers who want precision drying without lugging around a blanket-sized towel.

Big Drying Power in a Small Package


The star of the show is the dual-pile LoopTec twisted loop construction. One side features a long, plush pile that glides over paint and soaks up surprising amounts of water. Think door panels, hoods, roofs, and trim — anywhere pooling water likes to hide after a wash. The long-loop side drinks it up quickly, helping minimize the number of passes needed and reducing the risk of introducing light swirls.
Flip it over and things get even more interesting. The short pile finishing side is designed to chase down remaining streaks and faint residue. If you’ve ever dried a windshield only to find yourself coming back with glass cleaner 10 minutes later, this side was created for you. Quick passes leave behind a clean, streak-free appearance without the struggle.

Versatile by Design: Interior, Exterior, and Everywhere Else


While Little Megalodon shines during exterior drying, its compact size makes it more than just a post-wash towel. Use it on:
•    Paint
•    Windows and mirrors
•    Glass and chrome
•    Trim and plastics
•    Interiors
•    Wheels and door jambs


It’s equally at home drying down a freshly washed car as it is catching condensation in the morning or picking up fingerprints on infotainment screens. This duality makes the 2-pack extremely practical — one for the big drying work, the other for precision passes, finishing touches, or quick cleanups.

Two Towels, Endless Combinations


There’s a strategy baked into the 2-pack approach. Some drivers like to dry an entire car with one towel and chase streaks with the other. Others prefer to designate one for exterior water and keep the second “clean” for interior or glass. Either way, you get flexibility without having to buy multiple specialty towels.
That efficiency also extends to construction. Little Megalodon features a heavy-duty, internally stitched edgeless design, helping minimize drag and reduce the risk of micro-marring on sensitive finishes. No snaggy borders, no thick hems to catch, no bulky seams.

Not Just for Perfectionists


Whether you’re a professional detailer or just someone who hates water spots, Little Megalodon hits the sweet spot between performance and usability. It feels premium without being intimidating, works fast without requiring a technique tutorial, and fits storage spots where jumbo towels don’t — glove boxes, seat backs, and door pockets included.

Final Wipes


From full-body drying to final finishing, interior maintenance, and everything in between, the Little Megalodon 2-pack punches above its weight class. Compact, absorbent, versatile, and thoughtfully designed, it gives everyday drivers and enthusiasts alike a powerful tool for keeping their ride looking polished long after the suds are gone.


FAQs


What makes Little Megalodon different from regular microfiber towels?

Little Megalodon uses a dual-pile twisted loop construction — one long-pile side for heavy water absorption and one short-pile side for streak-free finishing. That means you can dry and finish with a single towel, instead of swapping between multiple products.

Do I need to use both towels at the same time?

Not necessarily. The 2-pack lets you pick your drying style. Some users dry the whole car with one towel and finish with the other, while others keep one for exterior and one for glass or interiors. It’s flexible by design.

What surfaces can I use these towels on?

Pretty much everything, including:

Paint

Chrome

Glass & mirrors

Trim & plastics

Interior surfaces

Wheels & door jambs

If it needs drying, finishing, or wipedown, Little Megalodon can probably handle it.

Can I use the towels for interior detailing, too?

Yep! The compact size makes them ideal for dashboards, screens, door panels, consoles, and quick clean-ups. The short-pile side is especially helpful for streak-free glass and screens.

How absorbent are these towels?

Thanks to the long-pile twisted loop side, they soak up surprisingly large amounts of water relative to their size. Most users can dry an entire vehicle with a combination of the two towels without reaching for extras.

Will they scratch my paint?

Little Megalodon features an internally stitched, edgeless construction to help minimize the risk of micro-marring and reduce drag across sensitive finishes. As always, clean towels and proper wash technique help keep paint safe.

What size are the towels?

Each towel measures 13.7” x 13.7” — compact enough for control, large enough for full-panel drying, and easy to store in glove boxes and door pockets.

How should I wash and care for them?

For best results, machine wash with a dedicated microfiber detergent and skip fabric softeners or dryer sheets. Air dry or tumble dry low. Proper care keeps the fibers absorbent and streak-free longer.

Can I use them with drying aids or detailing sprays?

Definitely. The short-pile finishing side pairs great with:

Drying aids

Quick detailers

Glass cleaners

Ceramic detail sprays

If you’re chasing shine or hydrophobic beads, these towels can help you get there faster.

Are these towels good for professional detailers?

Yes — pros love the dual-function design for cutting down on towel swapping and for finishing touches on glass, mirrors, and trim. But they’re beginner-friendly enough for anyone to use.

How do they compare to jumbo drying towels?

Jumbo towels, like Megalodon and Woolly Mammoth, are great for maximum coverage, but Little Megalodon excels in precision, control, and versatility. It fits into tight spots, works on interiors, and is faster to deploy for quick drying sessions.
