Default Microfiber...

Ok, I just did a huge detail job, wash, detail spray, claybar, wax....
and it looks damn good if I don't say so myself. (Pics, later)
But during the course of this detailing, a couple of my microfiber towels briefly swept the ground,
and picked up some leaves, pine needles and such, and I washed them,
but the damn cloths are still holding on to all of this nonsense. Any way to get this stuff out easily?

yeah, throw it away...

once it hits the ground you can basicly never get the stuff out... you ever try to clean velcro? there is always something you cant get to

i use one to wash the car and just save that as a tire rag for the next time. And when i detail im just really careful not to hit the ground and wash them without any fabric softner or bounce in the dryer and if they look good i might use them again the next time.

its a pain but its worth not getting excess swirl marks

I pick the leaves out of mine as soon as they get out of the washer usually mid cycle its way eaisier and the whole leaf willin some casespeel off. I hate it when thetowel dry's, then the damn leaves are rock hard and feel like sand paper. It has to be soaking wet dont let it get into spin cycle then you lose alot of moisture

not much I guess that would explain the 30 plus towels I have went through in the past year.

Buy them in bulk. Trash it and get another one.

where is a good place to get them in bulk, for a decent price, while still getting a quality towel?

I actually voted for yours in one of the last favorite rides on MF. I got to give you props man. I love your ride.

Back on topic. Cheap insurance to use a new one each time.... Some Micro Fiber break down and become courser when sent through the wash.
