Compressed Detail Towels (CDTs)
Tiny puck. Big wipe energy.
Compressed Detail Towels start as compact discs and expand with liquid into handy 9” x 9” cleaning cloths for tight, grimy, awkward detailing jobs.
Use them for cupholders, vents, door jambs, wheels, engine bays, console edges, buttons, seams, and all the little nasty spots your good microfiber towels should not have to suffer through.
Hydrate it. Wipe the funk. Keep moving.
Save Your Nice Towels for Nice Towel Things
Microfiber is still great for big panels, glass, and final wipe-downs. CDTs are for the tighter, dirtier, more controlled jobs.
- Great for cupholders and vents

Where CDTs Shine
Make a Grab-and-Go Wipe Jar
Drop a handful of CDTs into a wide-mouth jar, add your preferred cleaner, APC, degreaser, or Bio-Bomb Mini solution, and let them expand.
Now you have ready-to-use wipes for quick interior touchups, cupholder gunk, door jambs, shop carts, mobile rigs, and messy little jobs that pop up all day.
Shop tip: An old VDK jar can make a great little wipe jar.
Simple answers
What Are They Made From?
Compressed Detail Towels are made from 100% viscose rayon, a soft non-woven material that expands when hydrated.
They are smooth, flexible, lint-free, and useful for controlled cleaning in tight areas.
Are They Better Than Microfiber?
Not for everything.
Microfiber is still the better move for large surfaces, final wipe-downs, polishing, and finishing work.
CDTs shine when you need precision, tight access, a thinner cloth, or something you can toss after a nasty job.
What Liquid Should I Use?
Water works to expand them, but most pros hydrate CDTs with the cleaner that fits the job.
Use APC for interior grime, glass cleaner for small glass areas, degreaser for jambs and engine bay mess, wheel cleaner for tight wheel areas, or Bio-Bomb Mini solution for targeted deodorizing and cleaning.
Can I Reuse Them?
Yes. Rinse, dry, and reuse them for lighter-duty work.
For nasty jobs like cupholder syrup, heavy grime, grease, pet mess cleanup, or mystery gunk, toss it and move on with your life.
Can I Use Them With Bio-Bomb Minis?
Yes. CDTs pair well with Bio-Bomb Minis solution for targeted cleaning and deodorizing in tight areas.
Mix 1 Mini with 32 oz water, then use the solution to hydrate CDTs or keep a small wipe jar ready for odor-prone zones.
Small Towel. Smart Move.
For tight spots, nasty jobs, wipe jars, and places your nice microfiber should not go.
