I don't have APC. I assume that's Adam's All Purpose Cleaner? I'm still in the process of getting everything I need. EDIT: Seems like that's what it is. I wonder if my HD Total (natural degreaser/everything cleaner) would work the same way. I should have tried on my towels before I washed them I guess.

Well the wash is all done, there are still dirty spots though. I let them soak for about an hour, would have done it longer but I'm not sure if they'd ever come 100% clean. Not too surprising since I mainly used them for spots I didn't want to use my drying towel, it's all a learning process. I need to get some for detailing and just use these for the jambs and hood/trunk area I guess. I used an extra rinse cycle and they came out fine, and I remember soaking them in a bucket overnight weeks ago. I mean they're not bad, but there are a few spots with gray stains.

Yep, that's what I was referring to Towels are too dirty though, so I need them clean. Actually I guess the drying towel isn't bad but I figured I'd wash it anyway. The store only had the delicate Woolite so hopefully that's ok.

It looks like Complete is their "regular" version... http://www.woolite.us/products.php I hear you on having many towels, I guess it's not too big of a deal given how often I'll end up washing the waffle towel. I'll be off to the store in a bit so I can finally have some cloths again, the RX-7 is getting dusty

One last question, should I get Woolite Complete or Extra Delicate? And I think I read I can wash the white waffle towel with the normal microfibers, is that correct? It would be pretty dumb to wash just the waffle towel by itself.

By "get it out there" I meant my question in hopes I'd get an answer before I sifted through all the threads, I didn't mean I was spreading info. I do know that what I read on Autopia and Meguiar's talked about putting it directly in the wash, in an extra rinse cycle, to make sure the soap was removed. I wasn't trying to say that's the way to do it though.

This may have been answered on one of the other pages, but what can I use in place of Woolite? I'm trying to scramble to wash them tonight so I can clean the car quick tomorrow before I leave for a vacation. I've also heard of using white vinegar to help rid everything of the soap. I'll read the rest of the thread now, just wanted to get this out there. EDIT: Bleh, doesn't seem like I have anything here already that I can use, I'll have to get some Woolite sometime I guess.
