Yeah, the dryer seems to make the towels load with static and then when you wipe the car the static transfers to the metal, making the car a dust magnet.

I think this is the route I'll take. I'm going to try the Chemical Guys microfiber detergent (no fabric softeners and whatnot) and air dry.

I bought some stuff that is supposed to remove caked on waxes and such. It's orange scented powder.

Warm and even hot water is fine for washing MF towels. It helps open up the fibers and get the crud out. I use regular detergent -- Arm & Hammer because it works and is inexpensive. I also use AC vinegar in the softener dispenser. Never actual fabric softener, and this goes for your bath towels as well, because it interferes with the towel's ability to absorb water. Drying is where you can cause the real damage, because heat will melt the fibers in the towels. Either tumble dry with no heat or, if your dryer has one, use the extra low heat setting. I know people get fanatic about this stuff, especially if someone famous told them to do it a certain way, but it's really simple and you don't need to do anything crazy or expensive.

You're right. I simply didn't want to purchase some nice, high-quality towels and **** 'em up right away. I think I'll try either on cold or warm and either air dry or tumble dry.

Thank you.

This is the stuff I use for my microfiber and for my polishing pads. It's a residue free ORANGE SCENTED POWDER.

I don't think I ordered it from there. I think I got some off Amazon. Also, one jar has lasted me about 7 years.

I'm looking for a sun shade. Haven't really ever used one, but I probably need to start with the new whip. Suggestions?
