First Use - Washing MF

[eleven11]

My new vehicle will be arriving soon, and I`ve amassed a variety of cleaning equipment while waiting. I`ve not visited the forum for a few weeks, but I recall reading once about washing your MF before the first use. I have the Sonus Der Wunder Drying, Buffing, and Polishing MF towels, as well as the Concours Buffing Towel. For cleaning them, I purchased Pinnacle Micro Rejuvenator. So I`ve searched, and couldn`t find a clear answer.

I have 4 quick questions:



1) Do I throw all of these towels into the wash using the rejuvenator?

2) Or, all of them except the Concours buffing towel (since it`s cotton)?

3) Use a cold cycle only?

4) Drying - air or dryer?



Thanks! :usa

1~2) I`d separate them, 1.waffle-weave, 2.MF towel 3.concours

3) Wash with hot water, using rejuvenator. If you run out of it, get Tide Free (or something that is "free")

4) I like to air-dry my towels, since I don`t like that sticky feeling after drying them in a dryer. Do not use fabric softener.

only I see no reson to seperate the WW & the MF they are both just MF

hehe, oh I was referring to 1st wash before using them. I read somewhere that loose treads (or lint or whatever they are called) from regular MF towels might degrade WW towels performance....After they are washed couple of times, I just put them altogether.

Thanks for the quick replies. Another thing I failed to inquire about was my MF applicators - I didn`t think they required pre-washing, but I could be wrong?
