I used my MF towel to buff off SG yesterday. I then washed it in the washer per the instructions. Is it now ok to use that same MF towel to dry my car after washing? It sure doesn't feel like there is any remaining residue in it.

The only times you might not want use a formerly used mf is if it was used to buff off a natural wax or possibly a cleaner wax. Either way washing it correctly should clean it up to be used again.
 
The car was in pretty rough shape though white cars, as you all know, can can be harder to see at times. It's a little hard to see just how swirled up it was but you'll get the idea.

Process..

wash with dawn
clay with megs
polish with menz IP on orange pad
seal with UPGP
wax with P21s
Zaino Z-16 on tires

Engine and interior were done too but no pics.


Here's some before pics

The customer was quite impressed as he'd never seen his white pop like that before so that made me very happy.

Very nice work. My cousin has the same vehicle in the same color. In the right lighting, the metallic color really shows up nice, especially after a good detailing.:clap:
 
Thank you, I use a DA for everything.

People underestimate the DA. The real pros know the real power of the machine, and as its been pointed out before... many times its just preference.

Great job on that pearl white! Difficult color to capture defects and make look good and you did great on both counts. Excellent work.
