i just wash my car cleaning stuff with mild detergent in the washer, no fabric softner or nothing like that. and i just gave up on using microfiber towels for the most part once i found that if they get small debris on them they are practically impossible to clean out. so im too scared i'll end up scratching the paint with them. but i just bought a leaf blower, so thats my new car dryer for now.

- Wash on the Hot/Cold setting
- Use liquid detergent only w/ no bleach and NO fabric softener
- Add distilled white vinegar to the rinse cycle for added softness and soil release
- Rinse twice
- Dry towels on low heat w/ no fabric sheets

X2 Makes the MF towels last a longer. Also be careful where you set them after use and before the wash. Like stated above they will pick up dirt, leaves, grass, etc very easy.
