I have a couple questions about removing old wax using a 50/50 alcohol water mix in a spray bottle. In another thread Mysticine suggested spraying it on and wiping it off with a 100% cotton diaper. MAYBEN recommended using a double or single soft microfiber. Since I have a pretty good collection of both single and double softs, I see no reason not to use them.
First question: When removing old wax this way, is there any obvious visual evidence that the old wax is actually coming off? That is, can a change clearly be seen on the car, and does it leave any obvious deposits on the towel?
After a wash, dry, and general detail job, my usual routine is to gather up all the microfiber I may have used, regardless how they were used, and toss them all in the washing machine.
Second question: Can I just toss the towels I used to remove the wax in the washer with the drying towel(s) and all the other ones I might have used, expect them to come clean, and not contaminate the other towels; or would you recommend I swish them around in a bucket of Dawn water first, to clean out the old wax residue before throwing them in the washer?
