Do you wash your WW after every drying?

I was curious about that, because I do wash my PakShak Waffle Weaves (Blue) after every drying on my car, but wondered if that will shorten it's life. After every use their is some minor dirt/grease marks on it too.



Thanks
 
I always wash my WW after each use. Like you, I find minor dirt and grease on the towel. I have four WW and alternate between them.
 
I wash my WW after every panel. Just kidding. Seriously, I do wash mine after every use. I lost count on how many WW's I have so it takes me weeks before I get back to the same WW towel :D

I wash every thing after every detail. Like others, there's always some dirt or grime that gets on my drying towels. I'm washing my other mf items (mitt, vipers, pads, bonnets) anyhow, so why not throw it in the wash and have a fresh towel the next time I detail.
 
during and after drying with mine I hold it by 2 corners and give it a good snap to flip out anything I might have picked up and then at the end I rinse really well and hang to dry.



BTW I just finished using it and its 38 F here and humid and I dried my B5.5 completely ( less 4" lower valances and the wheels with 1 WW and no streaking. I didn't pre dry with anything .. just used the hose to sheet the water.
 
I reuse a 2nd time after rinsing & drying unless it has picked anything up like grease or dirt, I've 2 , one for the top half of the car & one for the bottom half

LOL :bow



I also wash after every use. One use may involve drying 2 to 3 cars ( same day) with the large primary towel used on all 3 vehicles and a clean secondary ( final drying) towel on each vehicle.

Ranney, you are the king of the WW. Speaking of WW's I'll be getting in touch with you for some more. The new truck is huge...I used three to dry this monster.



Nice weather we 've had the last few days (lol)
 
Hi Jim...



How is the new truck? Is it everything you thought it would be? I know you just took delivery of it so it may be a little premature for me asking that question.



Did the handover at the dealer go smooth?

Am I weird for using 3 WW to dry my little TT? I don't wring it out and no water blade either. I do sheet with water, but that only goes so far. There is so many nooks and crannies in the TT, it drips water forever...PITA :D

I use a damp (regular) MF towel to get off 95% of the water first, and then the ww gets the rest.
 
I use two or three MF's on pretty much every one of my customers' cars. Audi TT, BMW 3 series, Testarossa, MB CLK...all are pretty "small" and I use 3 on them.



Though I'd say the last towel only gets about half full.



Same goes for the Coupe.

Everything? Even your wash mit?
 
Yeah, I wash everything each time, ESPECIALLY the wash mitt.



armoredsaintt- Nah, nothing weird about that. Maybe you could blow out the extra water with compressed air. Waiting for it to drip out sounds like a pain.
