The Big Green Sucker

IT SUCKS ... (really good)

By: Ian P on 2 July 2025

The Big Green Sucker is a must-have for any car enthusiast who values their time, their paint job, and their sanity. It’s absorbent, plush, and built to last. It’s a solid investment for anyone looking to upgrade from the chamois dark ages. Pair it with Bowden’s Boss Gloss for an even shinier finish, and you’ll be the envy of your driveway. So, go ahead, treat yourself—and your car—to the Big Green Sucker. Your future self will thank you.

Brilliant

Brilliant Drying Towel, when used with Boss Gloss gives quick drying and a beautiful gloss finish to paint work.

What a Ripper

The Big Green Sucker is well worth the money. The promise of drying your car in one go is as true as the day is long. Used to have to go over my car with a Waterblade first, then towel it off afterwards. I can honestly say the Waterblade is now in retirement.

Holy Mother Sucker!

This thing is amazing!! Straight out the packet and onto the car, I couldn’t believe how well it worked. I did our large suv without needing to swap out to another towel. There was no need to “prime” the product like other chamois. It did leave some lint/fluff on the car but i can only put that down to me not washing it before I used it. I have since washed it & dried it as per the car instructions. Yet another Bowden’s Own product that is leading it category!

It certainly does suck

Far out! I feel like I've wasted so much time by not having bought this sucker earlier. Used it for the first time yesterday and wanted to see if I could get my Pajero dry without wringing it out. Got the job done perfectly. I've usually used a chamois in a continuous cycle of wiping and wringing and still having streaks. The Big Green Sucker was brilliant and cut down the drying time significantly without leaving streaks. Wish I'd discovered this sooner. Do yourself a favour and grab one asap.

“Tested on Animals” - Used by Gorillas

By: Colin on 14 April 2023

The “Big Green Sucker”. Bowden’s have on their products they are “Tested on Animals”. They don’t say “To be used by Gorillas”! Too heavy when full of water and can’t be effectively squeezed out leaving small water droplets requiring even more effort - even when using Boss Gloss. I am no shrinking violet and hand wash and dry all my cars but this is just too heavy to be time and effort effective. The Big Green Sucker is now the Big Green Polisher. Otherwise, great Australian products.

Hey Colin, Thanks for your feedback. A good tip before drying is to flood the panels of the car with the hose end off, to help remove as much standing water from the car as possible. Using this method you should be able to dry more than 1 car with a Big Green Sucker and shouldn't need to wring it out.

Was it really worth Purchasing?

By: Brendan on 19 February 2023

I have been using bowens products for a while but the big screen sucker is such a disappointment Start drying your car green lint everywhere I had to wait until my car was fully try and go over with a different microfiber cloth to get all the green lint off..now the products works but having to go over it again to get the green lint off is pretty disappointing 3 stars for me I hope they can use this review to do more testing and Eliminate all the green lint that comes off

Response
Hey Brendan, Thanks for your feedback. The lint you're noticing is a result of the manufacturing process. Rest assured, it will disappear after the first wash, just as our packaging instructions recommend. This should resolve the issue for you!

Awesome!

All the good things they say are true. Wiped my whole car down without wringing once. Chuck out your chamois, get one of these and dry your car more thoroughly in half the time!

Chamois are a thing of the past!

Seriously the most amazing microfibre cloth in the Bowden's Own range! Absolute must have and worth every cent. No need to ring it out as it has insane absorption power. Perfectly pairs with a drying agent, such as Boss Gloss for a shiny dry finish. No joke, slap this bad boy on a panel and it literally sucks up all the water, leaving a bone dry surface! Easily dries a car in meer minutes. Another awesome BO product we went back to our local SuperCheap for another one.

WOW

By: Chris on 3 July 2020

I was hesitant at first because of the price. I cannot believe how effective this product is. I have a Commodore and I didn't need to ring it out as it does hold a lot of water. I highly recommend the Green Sucker.
