Default Best towels to use after Claybar, polish and wax?

I was wondering what you guys think are the best Microfiber towels to remove from a Claybar, a Polish and Wax? Sometimes getting the wax off is a pain in the ass and leaves buff marks, which I hate. Also can they be washed and reused? Or will some of the compounds be stuck there? Thanks a lot - Shaun

Don't use wax, I just use Zaino or Turtlewax Ice polish, I just wash the microfibers in the washer using plain, fragrance free liquid detergent. Never had a problem getting them clean.

Also, do not dry in the dryer, hang dry and absolutely no fabric softener (or detergent like Pete mentioned)....

I use a cap or two of my car wash in the washing machine with my micros... also, there's a huge difference in Micros... check out "The Rag Shack".... they've got many and each has a use... I use the big fluffy ones to remove wax - works like a charm and excellent for buffing...

I am sure you'll get lots of great advice!!

Micro Fiber towels are Machine washable. But like the others have warned to not use a fabric softner on them. And all of the residue should wash right out.

Viking is an over the counter brand of microfibers that work well. I have purchased them at Kmart and Auto Zone.
