    MF changing colors after wash

    I purchased a bunch of the purple Cobra MF Jr towels and they turned kinda pink after washing w Pinnacle MF wash.

    Is this normal?

    BTW, favorite towels off ALL TIME!!!!!!!!! Im thinking about changing my entire MF towel arsenal to these!

    Those MF's are awsome. I have more then a dozen of them. After a wash or two, the color lightened up a little. No big deal, they work like new for me.

    While my approach takes more time, the results are far superior.

    I just washed 5 green and 2 of the purple last night with Pinnacle MF no fading.
    They are new though and I do expect some fading and as the others guys have said not concerned if they stay soft... Washed on warm/warm

    These are my favorite towels that AG sells by far. I only use them for removing sealants and waxes, mine don't get use for anything else but that.
