    Unless they touch my wheels/wheel wells, I throw all mine in at once.

    No problems ever.

    This is how I do.

    I hardly ever dry my wheels so this is a more rare occurrence for me

    I'm hip. But with chrome wheels, you can see a water spot from space.

    And with the Ram, the wheel well inserts (black plastic) are noticeable as hell when dirty.

    So I have two small PFM's for the chrome, and all my flunky towels get a lifetime wheel well sentence from the judge. (Me). Lol

    Polish,wax, compounding go in together. Window n drying towels together. Rinseless, waterless, wash, n detailing together. Wheels n rims on their own. Basically as a hobbyist I am only doing about 2 to 3 loads a week. I air dry only.

    That makes sense. I didn’t check your picture but I figured you had chrome wheels. I’m a hooligan in a sedan, with silver wheels so I live a life of luxury in that regard

    Re: How long do I have to put Microfiber towels in laundry

    This may go against all logic but...

    I mix up a bucket of clean water and a squirt of Dawn. All of my MF's from a job get dropped in the bucket to release any oils or products. I then rinse them fully and throw them in the laundry and air dry.

    I separate towel groups per use and wash seperately. A cup of vinegar for the final rinse.

    You have special air dryer? Or use like leaf blower.. I wonder buying those dryers (like 300+ dollars) can dry the car without ever using towel.

    THat seems like lot of work. Basically dump all mf towels (regardless what it was used for) and use dawn? Woudn't some get wax on cleaner etc and decontaminate. Just thought the chemical guys video on cleaning mf towels were little overkill. But if separateing them is indeed way to go, I'll go that route.

    Vinegar .. instead of mf detergent you just put this in laundry? Interesting

    Yup, all that stuff tough guy!

    (No offense meant, just joking).

    Anything non-wheel related. Yes.
