Scrub → Wash → Dry: the 3-Stage Golf Towel System (explained in 30 seconds)
Most golf towels try to do three jobs with one surface. That’s why they smear grime around and leave you with “clean-looking” grooves that aren’t actually clean. This system separates the jobs so your clubface stays consistent: SCRUB tough debris, WASHDRY

Stage 1: SCRUB
Goal: break stubborn, caked-on dirt loose without “polishing mud” into the grooves.
Use the white triangular scrub pad for the stuff microfiber alone can’t move.
Stage 2: WASH
Goal: wash the clubface while keeping the mess contained in one dedicated zone.
Add water to the wash pocket. Clean inside the pocket. Keep the rest of the towel dry.
Stage 3: DRY
Goal: finish dry on deep waffle weave so you’re not hitting the next shot with a wet, gritty mess.
Dry is a stage. Not an afterthought.
Why systems beat single-surface towels
If one surface tries to do everything, you get cross-contamination: dirt and moisture get smeared back onto the face.
Separate functions = cleaner contact = more consistent results.
Built for the course: attachment + durability
This is where most “nice towels” still fail: they end up on the ground, get lost, or get soaked and stay soaked. The Magna-Anchor system gives you two secure attachment options: magnet for cart/club surfaces, and carabiner for bag mounting.

FAQ
What is the Aiming Fluid Golf 3-Stage Cleaning System?
It’s a purpose-built golf towel workflow with three dedicated zones: a scrub pad for tough debris, a wash pocket to isolate moisture and grime, and deep waffle weave microfiber to finish dry. The point is to prevent cross-contamination.
Why does “one towel surface” cleaning underperform?
Because one surface ends up doing incompatible jobs: you scrub grit into it, then wash with it, then dry with the same contaminated fibers. That’s how you smear dirt back into grooves and leave moisture behind.
Is the magnet exposed?
No. The Magna-Anchor magnet is hidden under a silicone patch so it stays secure and protected while still snapping to carts or clubs when you need it.
