Hello all,

I have a bunch of microfibers to wash, from drying car, claying, polishing & sealant and glass. Can I wash all together with the Pinnacle wash?

Thanks,
Larry
 
Hi Larry, you definitely want them separate.

If you wash polish and wax towels with glass your glass towels may start leaving streaks on the glass.

If you wash wax towels with compound removal towels you may end up with mixed up and have an abrasive in wax towel. I do wash wax and polish towels together sometimes but they are color coded and different weaves so I dint mix them up. My very best wax towels for Sky and select vehicles are never washed with a polish towel.

Definitely keep all wheel towels separate. I don't wash my wheel and tire towels in the washer.

Here's my categories:

QD

Polish removal
Wax removal

Drying
Glass

Interior
Door jambs

Wheels and Tires
 
to me and this is just my opinion but if the microfiber wash solution is doing its job then you should be able to wash them all together. Should not matter what is on each when they go in...the cleaner should get rid of the funk and give you clean towels

I agree. Use a good cleaner and I think you'll be OK.
 
I wash grunge towels separate from the others but I don't separate the others at all. As long as the towels are actually being cleaned you should be good to go. If your glass towels are streaking as a result then you have cleaner issues.

+1. I use Pinnacle Microfiber cleaner and all paint towels go in at the same time. Next load is wheel and funk towels. No need for seperate loads fo each step for the car. Too much water and electricity waste.

Hey Smack I see you must be a fellow BMW lover
 
Read through this thread,

In my how-to book I talk about washing microfiber towels on page 89

If the e-book included the iPad at the e-book price I'd buy it right now!

But it has to be that specific iPad in the picture.

Same here - I seperate out wheel/gunk towells and wash everything else together. I also store wheel/gunk towells in a seperate container from the rest of my towels, but otherwise glass/paint/interior towels all go together and have not had any issues
 
I wash mine all together except for the tire and wheel ones. Those are separate but other than that everything gets thrown in there together.
 
No I lease mine. But I did buy that 4.6is X5 that's been the only exception.
 
I change vehicles way too often for purchasing to ever be a beneficial thing. Leasing is perfect for me I get a new car every 2 to 3 years. And I get to write it off as a business expense. I'm always under warranty. And as you know with BMW that literally covers everything
