Suggestions on alternative MF towels for wax/sealant and polish removal

[Eldorado2k]

I have a ton of microfibers. Lmao probably more then everyone else in my town combined. Not even joking. I do use different ones for different things put paint towels are going to get mixed around with all the different types of products around. I just started washing them a new way that some might consider excessive,

First I set the machine to prewash and go heavy on the microfiber cleaner. I'll letr them pre soak for at least 20 min before closing the lid and starting the prewash.

Second I run them through a heavy wash cycle with a normal to light amount of microfiber soap.

Third I run them through a regular wash cycle with no soap just rinse water. That way the whole wash cycle is its own through rinse. I noticed a big difference after the first time I tried it like a month ago so I did it again. It's worth the time in my opinion. I'll wear the same pair of jeans for 8 months without washing them so go figure.

If microfiber towels lint I think that means they are defective. I get rid of them or send them back. Nothing worse then a linting towel.

What soap do you use? And what temperature water? On that 3rd wash dedicated to pure rinse, do you do it in cold water?

The MF-towels, that I’ve listed below, are
described to be woven specifically for wax
and polish removal. As such, and in IMO:
they can be considered very good; and are
definitely worth using.

{And they’re a real bargain—at only $1.67
each—when purchased in lots of 12...:dblthumb2: }

That is my favorite type of towel for that application.

For polishes that seem to be more water based, I use a thick microfiber soaked & wrung-out with a rinseless solution, and for waxes/sealants I use the small Griots PFM terry weave towels because they scoup-up messes pretty fast, but I believe Griots came out with their own version of a wax/sealant towel which is basically this towel, but with a colored edge to distinguish it apart from other towels. For smeary compounds/polishes, I also use the PFM's if a normal microfiber isn't cutting it. I just make sure to clean them very well by using the powdered concentrated citrus-based degreaser (pad cleaner, link below, works awsome) & let them soak in hot water, then rinse them by hand, then wash them in the washing machine.
