Every time I grab one of my most trusted detailing tools, the Miracle Towel, I can't help but think of the vaunted Nissan GT-R and the way that it redefines physics. Every year this Japanese monster, often referred to as "Godzilla," gets faster thanks to additional tweaks to the engine and suspension. The Nissan GT-R, in a car guy's words, is a miracle.

Max doesn't pay me to fantasize about super cars all day, so I better pinch myself and get back on topic. One of our most popular microfiber towels is as unique as its name. The Miracle Towel is a premium quality 16 x 24 inch microfiber towel that features two unique sides, making it one of the most versatile microfiber towels available. One side of the Miracle Towel has a deep nap that makes it perfect for quick detail sprays, waterless washes, spray waxes, and virtually any other spray on, wipe off product. The other side of the Miracle Towel has a flat weave microfiber design. The flat weave side provides more "bite," making it very effective for wiping off compounds and polishes. Simply put, the Miracle Towel combines the best attributes from your favorite plush towel and your favorite flat weave towel.

Split Weave Microfiber Design

While nearly every microfiber towel has two sides with their own intended purpose, none of them are as distinguished as the Miracle Towel's two sides. Another unique feature is the split weave microfiber construction. Split weave refers to how the fibers are split during the weaving process. This weaving method gives the Miracle Towel lots of texture with “breathing room” between the individual fibers. When the towel becomes wet, these tiny chambers are capable of soaking up a tremendous volume of moisture - 7 times the towel’s own weight!

Thick Nap

This is what the thick nap side of the Miracle Towel looks like:

Scratch-Free Border

The Miracle Towel is as thoughtfully designed as the Recaro bucket seats in the aforementioned GT-R; check out the scratch-free border. This silky-smooth border will not scratch or mar delicate, scratch-sensitive finishes.

Removable Tag

Who likes to shell out $10 for a towel only to have it tear when you remove the tag that was carelessly sewn on? Not me, which is why I'm going to show you my favorite feature of the Miracle Towel, the glued on tag.

Made In Korea

Notice how the tag says "Made in Korea." Microfiber towels that are manufactured in Korea are assembled with higher quality standards than those manufactured in China.

Any Which Way You Want It

The Miracle Towel is only available in a 16 x 24 inch size and, depending on which way you fold it, you can tailor its size to suit your preferences.

My comment

I use the Miracle Towel folded this way when I'm using it with quick detail sprays, waterless washes, and spray waxes. It's small enough to comfortably manage while still being able to cover a good amount of area.

8 x 6

My comment

This size is perfect for wiping off compound and polish residue; 8 x 6 will comfortably fit in most people's hands, providing adequate grip.

Care & Maintenance

Pair the Miracle Towel with a high quality microfiber detergent and it will last you years. My top pick would be Pinnacle Micro Rejuvenator Concentrate. This microfiber cleaner is the most concentrated of them all and my from my experience it outperforms all others on heavily soiled towels.

Summary

If you're looking for a premium quality microfiber towel that can be used for a variety of different applications, from waterless to compound residue removal, check out the Miracle Towel and become a believer!

I have a bunch of these towels and I love them! They are definitely one of my favorites, and my go-to towel for polish removal!

Are there any plans to offer a 16 x 16 size?

16 X 16 would be a MUCH better offering. Nice quality towels, though.

:agree:

It's still a wonderful towel at 16 x 24, but it would be even more wonderful at 16 x 16! I'd buy some for sure!!

Nick, have the Miracle Towels been recently "updated" like the Supreme 530 and Super Plush 600 towels appear to have been?

Yeah the 16x16 is the preferred size for me as well. Looks like a high quality product.

Yes.

Well, let me rephrase...

It may not be branded as a Cobra product, but it is clearly made by the same manufacturer.

Looks like a very nice towel but absolutely zero chance I'll be dropping $10/towel.

We do not have it under the Cobra brand anymore but it was at one time. This is the one towel that has been around Autogeek as long as I have been!

Curious, any reason why it's no longer under the Cobra brand anymore? Was it overlapping with another Cobra product, such as the Supreme 530? Or is it because the other towels are Korean microfiber assembled in China while this one is made entirely in Korea?

Not that any of it makes a difference, I'm just curious.

You guys need to update (or not...) the table at the bottom of the following link:

6 Pack Miracle Towels (http://www.autogeek.net/6pack.html)

Something is not correct: the tag, or the table :xyxthumbs:

If you buy 6, they're only $6.665 each...

They were available on BOGO about a month ago, which I believe Meghan created herself, and it was a heck of a deal!

I see what you are referring to...
It also lists the Gold Plush Jr. as being 600 gsm...

This. Especially when there are the same or better quality towels for half the price.
