OP, one thing to remember when using a HE washer, (well at least the one we have like below) is that they'll tend not to put much water in. Ours (and I'm sure others) will weigh the load before adding water. With that in mind.... It's easy to 'trick' the washer into adding more water. Just add your load then head over to your mud sink and get a gallon (or more) of hot water and pour that on the towels. Works every time!

I've programmed cycles in for different "Car Towels" from terry garage towels to compound/polish removal general duty, to extra fluffy Korean towels. If you're using a dedicated microfiber detergent then 1oz will be plenty. You can also use a mix of dedicated detergent, and/or some sort of 'clear' liquid and a mix of Woolite. I've used Woolite for years, (long before I bought any 'dedicated' detergents).

Yeah, I know that feeling.

Ours actually *tells* the dryer what it's just done and the dryer decides what type of drying cycle to use.

Now you'll have to get her to stop using ANY type of fabric softener (in both the washer and dryer) so you don't end up ruining your microfiber collection.

I actually keep a 50% alcohol solution bottle next to ours that I spray the (stainless) inside of the respective machine(s) down with (for a nice quick wipe down) before running a load. OCD yes.... but it helped to 'train' CarMomma not to ruin the $2000 worth of microfiber sitting around here.
