I was curious about that, because I do wash my PakShak Waffle Weaves (Blue) after every drying on my car, but wondered if that will shorten it`s life. After every use their is some minor dirt/grease marks on it too.
Thanks

I always wash my WW after each use. Like you, I find minor dirt and grease on the towel. I have four WW and alternate between them.

Once in a while, I`ll use it twice. Depends if it picks up anything or I don`t feel comfortable with it. I have 2 WW.

I wash my WW after every panel. Just kidding. Seriously, I do wash mine after every use. I lost count on how many WW`s I have so it takes me weeks before I get back to the same WW towel :D

I wash every thing after every detail. Like others, there`s always some dirt or grime that gets on my drying towels. I`m washing my other mf items (mitt, vipers, pads, bonnets) anyhow, so why not throw it in the wash and have a fresh towel the next time I detail.

during and after drying with mine I hold it by 2 corners and give it a good snap to flip out anything I might have picked up and then at the end I rinse really well and hang to dry.
BTW I just finished using it and its 38 F here and humid and I dried my B5.5 completely ( less 4" lower valances and the wheels with 1 WW and no streaking. I didn`t pre dry with anything .. just used the hose to sheet the water.

I reuse a 2nd time after rinsing & drying unless it has picked anything up like grease or dirt, I`ve 2 , one for the top half of the car & one for the bottom half

LOL :bow
I also wash after every use. One use may involve drying 2 to 3 cars ( same day) with the large primary towel used on all 3 vehicles and a clean secondary ( final drying) towel on each vehicle.

Ranney, you are the king of the WW. Speaking of WW`s I`ll be getting in touch with you for some more. The new truck is huge...I used three to dry this monster.
Nice weather we `ve had the last few days (lol)

Hi Jim...
How is the new truck? Is it everything you thought it would be? I know you just took delivery of it so it may be a little premature for me asking that question.
Did the handover at the dealer go smooth?

Yes.
Sometimes I machine dry, sometimes I air dry.

Am I weird for using 3 WW to dry my little TT? I don`t wring it out and no water blade either. I do sheet with water, but that only goes so far. There is so many nooks and crannies in the TT, it drips water forever...PITA :D

I use a damp (regular) MF towel to get off 95% of the water first, and then the ww gets the rest.

I use two or three MF`s on pretty much every one of my customers` cars. Audi TT, BMW 3 series, Testarossa, MB CLK...all are pretty "small" and I use 3 on them.
Though I`d say the last towel only gets about half full.
Same goes for the Coupe.
