Hi guys,
Sorry I've posted a lot of threads lately in detailing forum.

I'm just in the mood to clean my babies.

I wonder if anyone know how to clean your microfiber towel after use.
Washing machine with detergent?or just wash it w/o any detergent?
Thanks Guys..

Yoko.

Detergent, yes. Rinse twice with NO fabric softener. Then dry.

That's exactly right. And when you put it in the dryer, no fabric softener sheets either.

You can boil them for 10 minutes and they are completely clean, no chance of soap build up etc

Also don't wash with non-microfiber towels.

It looks like it's not tough job to do..
I'm going to detail my E46..
so, To get the rid of the spider web, can I just use meguiar's quick detailer? Or should I clay it?
I never detail my car by myself, so I have no clue about it.

Anyway, Thanks Guys for the inputs..

I've noticed that my microfiber towels become 'less soft' the more I wash them.

Yeah, You're right.
but, it only happens if you dry it with heat. try to do it by fluff air. I think it would be fine.

Guys, I've cleaned all my microfiber towel.
There are some of em who has a black spot that I can't get rid of(Probably because of previous use).
but, it's completely clean.
Do you guys think it'll be ok to use it again?
Thank You
