I just bought the big pack of Costco microfiber towels. Since they're all the same color and I want to have some dedicated for glass and others for wax, sealant, compound, how can I distinguish between them? I already cut off all of the tabs, but I was thinking of using a hole punch or something to know that the "window" towels should not be used for any type of product.

I would recommend getting different colored towels.
That said, I certainly wouldn't use a hole punch.
If you really needed to distinguish between the same colored towels, you could either try to keep them separate by throwing them in different buckets after use, or if they are light-colored, maybe making different dots on them with a black permanent marker. One dot for paint, two for glass.....etc.
Just some ideas, but like I said, I'd get different colors.

Good idea. I’ve been thinking I need to do something like this. Thanks

Here’s what I did... Get a large needle and put some thread in it, then tie a small knot in each corner of the towels that you’d like to have identified. For example I tied a small knot with blue thread to distinguish my new batch of towels that I’ll use on my paint to separate them from the others...
The thread stays there for good. If this seems crazy then you shouldn’t have asked. Lol.

I buy black towels for my non-paint use.

You could also buy a couple of darker colored towels, like black, dark blue, and a red, then wash a half dozen of the yellows and one of the dark ones at a time. It will dye transfer and tint the group of yellows. The tint won’t bother the towels.
Just like finger paints for kids. Yellow and blue make green, yellow and black make a dirty looking yellow but they work for wheels and tires, etc.
