Is it OK to label my MF towels with a Sharpie marker? I have several towels that I would like to dedicate to certain tasks and want to wash them seperately. Will the marker be bad for the paint of MF?
 
I was thinking the same thing :D I got different colors because I wanted to do for different tasks, but still I get confused.

I'm also curious how you guys differenciate the task for your MF towels?
 
I keep them in the Ziploc freezer bags, and just label the bags. When you are done using the MF you throw into a regular plastic bag to know what its dirty. But basically we dont go by color but by the Ziploc bags that we keep them in.

Same here. I also do it with applicator pads.
 
To differentiate, I mark my better MF towels with a small dot in one corner using different color sharpies. You can keep track of age, brand, use, whatever. This way, when I wash a bunch together, I can tell which towels stay together. I also keep them in Ziploc bags and write the brand name and where/when they were purchased. You can use the same sharpie color when marking the Ziploc bag.
 
Triple ditto! I keep mine in a ziploc bag labeled with a Sharpie. I do not label the cloth. I also label the bag with the color of the MF cloth. For example, I have 8 Magic Towels that I use only to remove wax and polish. They are orange in color. I labeled a giant ziploc bag "Wax & Polish Removal - Orange."



When used up, I throw in a bin, wash, dry and then place back in the proper color coordinated labeled ziploc and seal up to keep clean and ready to go for the next time.



I have many MF's with different colors for different uses. Like I mentioned, each bag gets labeled with the use of the MF along with the color.



Works brilliantly! :up
 
A Sharpie Fine Point Permanent Marker pen has worked well for me. Before marking all of my 30+ buffing towels I put a 1/4� solid circle on the corner of one towel and let it dry for a couple of days. I then tested it for micro-marring on a mark-free area of my multiple coat Zaino. It took the same pressure on the marked and unmarked areas to start marring the Zaino.



Now all of my 15� or 16� MF towels are marked - both as to use and also with the source.. Rather than storing them in a baggie, I just stack them on a shelf and cover them with a hard finished, non-linting, cotton towel to protect them from dust and other debris.



I also use MF applicator pads for Zaino. After use I hand wash them in dish washing liquid, rinse thoroughly, and air dry. When dry I spritz with Z-6 and store in a Zip-Lok. Before first use I mark one side with a Sharpie and use only that side. After 3 or 4 uses on that side I add a second mark on the used side and start using the other side. 3 or 4 uses on that side and it goes in the trash.
 
I use a sharpie or Rub a dub marker to label my MF's. One towel one product. I also keep my towels sorted in labeled one zip bags, so I do not have go through a pile of 30+ MF's and thre protected from the elements. Same goes for my MF app pads.
