The Autogeek Cover Up Towel in ACTION!


A few years ago we carried a different version of this cover up towel, it worked great.

We're excited to introduce an updated version that is made of a stouter microfiber material that makes it much easier to use no matter what you want to cover up and protect.

Here's a real world example. This Porsche has a canvas top and when machine buffing if you get any compound, polish or wax spatter into the weave of the towel. In case you've never done this before I can tell you from experience it's difficult to remove and if you scrub too hard you can fray the fiber.

What's better is just cover the top so it's not an issue. Besides saving you time it will impress your customer when they see how much care you put into their car.


In this picture Brian has run a tape line around the outer edge of the top. This is key. The reason why it's faster and easier to start by taping off with tape the perimeter of the top and then simply attach the cover up towel to the tape line. Take my word for it... this is the way to do it.

Now Brian is taping the cover up towel to the tape line.

We've also covered up the windshield wiper arms and all the plastic around the windshield wiper arms and placed the wheel maskers over the tires and wheels.

This car is ready to machine compound, polish and wax.

I liked the old cover up towels but I love the new cover up towels. If you want some... I recommend getting 2-3 while they are still available.

I still have it but it's fraying on the edges as it's poorly made.


The Cover-Up Towels are well stitched and softer than terry cloth in case you're laying them across paint or convertible plastic windows or polished metal work like this blown 1934 Ford Pickup we buffed out and used the original cover-up towels on...

Next we cover-up all the brightwork and there's lots of it. Take my word for it, when it comes to projects like this you don't dare get polish spatter dots on the engine or in this example the exposed running gear in the truck bed. It's not professional and besides that it would take you hours to wipe the little dots of polish splatter off.

The Autogeek Cover-up Towel is made from soft microfiber and can be washed and re-used. This come in real handy for covering up anything you don't want to get compound or polish splatter dots onto so you won't have to detail these areas with a toothbrush after the the wax has been removed.

The soft microfiber won't scratch paint or polished metals. Simple cover or wrap around components and then use a little painter's tape to secure them in place.

Here we've covered the polished aluminum gas tank and the chrome independent rear-end...

All kinds of uses.


Here's two things I know...

1. Ever since we stopped carrying the first version I have people asking me all the time where they can get one. That's why I said in my first post,

I liked the old cover up towels but I love the new cover up towels.

If you want some... I recommend getting 2-3 while they are still available.

Scroll up to the bottom of my first post and you'll see that's what I wrote.


2. I find I use these cover-up towels all the time on almost every project. Once you have them in your tool arsenal I'm confident you'll find yourself, like me, using them all the time.

Very nice write up Mike! I can see that new cover up towel is stout.

In this picture Brian has run a tape line around the outer edge of the top. This is key. The reason why it's faster and easier to start by taping off with tape the perimeter of the top and then simply attach the cover up towel to the tape line. Take my word for it... this is the way to do it.

Now Brian is taping the cover up towel to the tape line.

Anyone that has painted a car can verify this method of taping. They will know exactly what you are talking about with layering.

Thanks for sharing and showing the pictures to go along with this method for the detailing world.

Ask me how I found that out. Learned the hard way.
