View Full Version : First time using MF towels!
These are great! I will probably never use a chamois again to dry my car. The waffleweave from JT International worked great. I haven`t used the terry towels wet since I didn`t wax. But, I do have a question? I assume you only use the waffleweave ONCE to dry the entire car and then have to wash it before using it again? I don`t think it would be a good idea to re-use because of possible dirt on the towel. This goes for all of my MF towels? I may have to buy a few more!

Yep wash em by themselves or with anything non-linting and then dry in the dryer without any bounce sheets or anything. No fabric softener in the washer either. Just regular tide or whatever you use.
Also, as with all MF stuff, don`t use high heat to dry. Most people are extra cautious and use no heat or line-dry them. You`ll find MF to dry much faster than cotton stuff! :up

If you are just going to use them once and throw them away, I`ll gladly take them off your hands!;)
Seriously though, you can use these for a long time just take care of them. No need to go buck wild with purchasing hundreds of these unless they are having a promotion.

Unless you touched ground while drying, you don`t HAVE to wash your waffleweave after each use as theoretically, your car should be clean and have no dirt after a washing! The other MFs, I would wash after each use as they would have sealant/wax, glass cleaner, or QD on them.

He meant use once between washings. That is not necessary. You should notice the waffleweave as it gets dirty. Typically, I wash mine every 5-10 uses depending on how dirty it is.
Another question. Is it normal to wring out the MF waffleweave like a chamois? I got the hood and the roof dry and then had to wring it out. I normally sheet the car off with water before drying. That should help the next time.

Yep, MF`s are great for wringing out and absorbing more. I usually sheet my cars before drying as I do not have a leaf blower. I have the 28x54" JTi towel and don`t have to wring it out after drying one vehicle usually.

Wash between uses to be safe ( these are very absorbent towels which may and probably will include microscopic dirt particles that may have been in final rinse droplets.)
Wash MF`s with MF`s only.
Wash with LIQUID detergent only
No fabric softener or dryer sheets.
Wash in warm or cold water (rinse also in warm or cold)
I like machine drying at Air Fluff setting ( low temp is okay). Towels feel softer than a line dried MF. JMO
Fold neatly and store in some sort of container.
You will never have enough MF`s
Enjoy the experience. These are fantastic products.:xyxthumbs
