I have a couple Meguiars Water Magnets. Do I have to wash them after I'm done with my car wash?

Also have a MF Meguiars Mitt - wash them as well after every car wash?

I'm using Free and Clear (think thats what ots called) as a detergent for washing my MFs.

I wash that stuff after every use. If you want to cut down on laundry loads, invest in a few more "sets" of media, then you can wash several sets at a time.

For what it's worth, I launder my wash media separately from my drying media, but that's a longer story.

Agreed. Washing and drying towels are always washed separately. And when I wash the "wash" towels, I make sure not to over load the machine- so they can agitate and the sediment can actually migrate out as best it can.

I always launder the wash media after each use, but in a pinch I may use my WW a couple times before washing. But when I do that I always check the towel for any particulates or contaminates.

I wash anything that has come out of it's storage bin. Even if it only sat on my about to use it tray.
Crap can drift down out of the sky. So just wash them each time.

I've bought enough to not have to wash after each wash because it is a small load. Is it fine to let towels sit with product for up to two weeks?

Personally I wouldn't. Maybe soak them in a big container with dilute detergent?

Rinse them with water and you're fine, especially if it's just soap.
