I was wondering... what is the lifespan of for microfiber and other cleaning, polishing and drying cloths in terms of number of car washes/waxes. And is there some good tell tale signs that you can look for to determine when the cloth is destined for the rag bin?

 

Just wondering how long this microfiber towel I dropped $15 bucks on is going to last...

*BUMP*

 

On a similar note, how many times can I use my Zaino cotton polish applier. I forget the number for them, something like #214. I tried to clean them out after my first wash, but there's still some material staining them. If I reuse that side, will I end up getting small scratches?

Anybody have any success at cleaning them out?

I guess I could just apply with a towel, but I don't want my towels to be trashed just yet.
