Wow, all these people not familiar with proper microfiber care. And throwing towels out after 1 use??? Just don't let the towels touch the ground, don't use good towels on wheels and other excessively dirty areas, wash as instructed with microfiber detergent and don't use fabric softener.

I do believe in using the micro fiber towels once. Cleaning them in the washer definitely adds that grim-ish feeling to the towel. I wouldn't run through 80 towels though, that's a little ridiculous.

I don't access to a hose because I live in a apartment building, but I recently found a "wash it yourself" place so I figured I should take it there and maybe dry it down with the micros.

My Z does have those swirls though, black Z... I'm most likely getting the front and rear bumper repainted because of chips, but I really despise those swirls.

That's another point...those household towels should touch paint to begin with.

i might just go to a self washing place and spend about 2 bucks. Dry up with micro towels, come back home and then use my "spraying' technique if there's dust lying on my car while i drive back home. Then polish

you can use the moethod I use at school where i HAVE to go to the self-wash place...

1. go to self wash place (if its a long drive, let it sit and cool for a little bit first)
2. rinse off, low pressure
3. bug/tar remover, tire cleaner (I bring my own)
4. rinse off
5. use thier wheels cleaner (it's diluted simple green) on your wheels tires and LOWER trim only
6. rinse
7. Use thier soap high-power spray NOT the brush (it makes swirls)
8. rinse high power
9. rinse low power "spot free"
10. dry with a "the absorber" shammy (AWESOME PRODUCT)
11. In the shade in the self wash? wax it up!
12...finishing details... tire shine, wax, window cleaner... I bring a crapload of my own products with me, the plae acts like my home garage but since i'm at school I have no garage and no hose, obv.

good luck!
