Autofiber Glass Towels: A Comparison of Flip Variants
by Reece @ DIAutofiber is a brand known for innovation and quality in detailing products, and their range of glass towels lives up to that reputation. Today, I am diving into three standout offerings from their lineup: the Glass Flip Microfiber Waffle Towel, the Smooth Glass Flip Towel, and the Double Flip Glass Towel. Each towel brings its own strengths to the table, and in this post, I will highlight what makes each unique and how they stack up for different needs.
Glass Flip Microfiber Waffle Towel
Best for: Streak-free glass cleaning with maximum dirt absorption.
This towel features a waffle weave that excels at pulling dirt, grime, and residue from glass surfaces. The texture increases absorption, making it ideal for tackling heavily soiled windows. The built-in pockets are a game-changer, allowing for precise control whether used by hand or with a tool like the Autofiber Reacher Extension.
- Pros: Highly absorbent, streak-free results, and great for tough jobs.
- Cons: Slightly bulkier than smooth towels, which may take longer to dry.
Smooth Glass Flip Towel
Best for: Fine polishing and finishing touches.
The Smooth Glass Flip Towel is designed for finesse. With its flat microfiber surface, it delivers a polished, streak-free shine with minimal drag. It is perfect for cleaning already maintained glass or adding the final touch after using a waffle weave towel.
- Pros: Lightweight, ideal for polishing, and great for light cleaning tasks.
- Cons: Less effective for heavy dirt or grease removal compared to textured towels.
Double Flip Glass Towel
Best for: Versatility and extended cleaning sessions.
The Double Flip Glass Towel takes the pocket design up a notch, offering dual layers for extended use. When one side gets dirty, simply flip to the next clean surface. This towel is incredibly convenient for large windows or multi-panel projects where switching towels is not an option.
- Pros: Double-sided functionality and excellent for long cleaning sessions.
- Cons: Slightly thicker, which may feel less nimble in tight spaces.
Final Thoughts: Which Towel Is Right for You?
Choosing the right Autofiber glass towel comes down to your specific needs:
- For heavy cleaning and maximum absorption: Go with the Glass Flip Microfiber Waffle Towel.
- For polishing and a streak-free finish: Choose the Smooth Glass Flip Towel.
- For versatility and extended cleaning power: The Double Flip Glass Towel is the way to go.
Each towel offers something unique, and having a combination of these in your detailing arsenal ensures you are prepared for any glass cleaning challenge. With Autofiber, you truly cannot go wrong!

I’ve tried all three. They all work fine, but I’ve found no meaningful differences between them. I would rate smooth towel last.
