My MF towels have gone through the wash only 20~25 times and now they completely lost their ability to absorb water. Is it because they've reached the end of their life cycle or is it because I used some of them to buff off wax? I washed them repeatedly in warm water and mild detergent so I...

I have a couple of cars with paint that's in very good condition. The cars are low-mileage garage queens. I've used a couple waxes and I couldn't see any visual improvement at all. Is it a foregone conclusion that if the paint is already glossy and in good condition, that wax only provides...
