Re: Washing with Microfibers?
I use multiple mitts in conjunction with a foam gun. Gets me superb results every time. That is when I even need mitts at all
Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

Re: Washing with Microfibers?
I agree with most don’t love the MF towel for bucket wash. I do a one bucket with seven mitts. 2 for each side and one for trunk and back one for hood and front. No roof ( covertible) so 7th is for miscellaneous and missed spots.
I like these type (or similar) best over noodle chenille and wool
I’ll use them for rinseless too.

I suppose it is relative. I usually say mine are "very dirty" long before the dirty they would get driving on dirt roads.

I do not trust them when washing a dirty vehicle the way I do a wash mitt that can trap dirt deep into the mitt, but can also release it when rinsed.
Yes, this was my concern.

Re: Washing with Microfibers?
The multiple wash mitts is an interesting idea along the same line. Are the Microfiber wash mitts washable in the washing machine? I guess that's the thing with the wash mitts I've been using is they can only be rinsed out not washed.

HUH??
What wash mitts do you use?
I use the Griots Chenille wash pads. Depending on how dirty the car is I use up to 8. Rinse and wring them out then wash in machine.
This method is a no brainer compared to a 2 bucket.

Re: Washing with Microfibers?
I’m with spazzz though I also use MF wash towels instead of the multiple wash pads (Griots-similar to mitts but no collar/opening). One pad/towel goes on a section of the car and then in the dirty towel bucket. After I’m done washing and drying the car, I rinse the soapy, dirty towels and then they’ll go into the washing machine though I usually wait 2-3 weeks to get a full load.
Heck, Mike Phillips even puts his polishing pads in the washing machine though he doesn’t mix pad uses meaning, compound pads only washed with compound pads, polish with polish, AIO with AIO pads.

Most MF will leave micromarring on a dark metallic paint. Most other colors, you'd probably never notice it.

I have dark burgundy metallic on my 2012 Acura TL. Will pay attention but I am also pretty meticulous with my MF usage and cleaning.

I had a black Nissan frontier and I swear the paint would Mar if I looked at it sideways. It was the softest most brutal paint ever. Even the most expensive MFs would induce marks. It was painful.
