So with this being the busy season I'm doing about 3-5 loads of MF's a week. I've been using Micro-Restore doesn’t just clean microfiber, it restores microfiber! (http://www.autogeek.net/mr32.html) for a while but thinking about trying Chemical Guys Microfiber Wash + Microfiber Cleaning Detergent, microfiber detergent, microfiber cleaner (http://www.autogeek.net/chemical-guys-microfiber-wash-128.html) what do you guys think? Has anyone tried Chemical Guys MF wash? If so what do you think? Feed back please

I had been using it until I ran out. Found it great as a presoak for my dirty wheel cloths too. Currently using 3D towel clean

Been doing about a load or 2 a day and use the Arm and Hammer with oxy - has always worked good for me...... can you guys tell a big difference with the MF restorer????

I have been wanting to try this, but was worried about maybe drying them out..? I'd that makes sense..?

Anyone else here use APC or degreasers for washing towels / pads?
I frequently use Meguiar's APC+ for washing my pads + MF, and APC+ even took out the paint sealant from red pad that I could not remove using other chemicals.

Dedicated microfiber detergents. The snake oil of the detailing industry since the inception of microfibers. Its nothing more than a regular degreaser. Just stick to a few oz of megs SD or zep citrus with tide free or what ever non fabric softening detergent.

I didnt think it would. But when it went on BOGO i jumped on it to try it out. I was Wowed. i do a normal wash with tide and then again with the mirco restore and the difference is amazing IMO. if you havent seen from my post in the unpacking thread i just picked up another gallon that came in today. was so happy bc ive been going a week with out it an in just this week doing a load a day ive noticed the difference

Hmmmm, may have to give it a shot. I was tempted to toss all our MFs (around 400!) and just replace them..... mainly cause these Semis are just so nasty and seems to be wearing out the MFs - takes at least 30 or so to detail the inside of 1 Semi :/ Then Ive got the MFs specifically for paint that my guys end up dropping in some leaves all the time lol (not really funny to me) and a wash won't get them out. RANTING - sorry! But yeah man, if you believe it is making a good difference I think I may try it out - everyone else agree?!?!?

I noticed a difference with the restore. You only need a capfull per load. If they're really dirty I use Oxy clean.

I've always done a presoak in warm water and Purple Power, then just wash with Tide. I use Purple Power on everything from wheels to engines to pad washing to bug and tar removal. Basically everything but interiors. I've never tried the washing detergents specifically for MF's.
