Do you guys dedicate certain towels to certain uses only? It doesn't matter if you use cotton, microfiber or whatever. And I don't mean using the same towel for multiple uses in one sitting, but after it's been washed, and you use it for a different job on the car. I hope that made sense. Just curious.

Lots of threads on this, but most people separate towels into 3: paint, glass and wheels. Microfiber or not is irrelevant.
Most of the cotton towels I use are for either interiors, wheels and wheel wells, engines. Once I've used them on a dirty part of a car, it's almost impossible to get them white again so I just use them again and again for those dirty jobs. Once they wear out, I run back to the dollar store and stock up again.
My MF towels are mostly for polishing, waxing and quick detailing.

I have several groups of towels
about 8 100% cotton bath towels for drying,
a LOT of 100% cotton royal velvet scrap towels for paintwork,
some polyester blend towels for interior use only,
some small grunge towels for engines, wheel wells, tires, and other dirty jobs,
and a fist full of Mf towels for cleaning windows.
Will be getting a 10lb bag of surgical towels soon for windows sinve I'm told they clean windows better than MF towels.

Intel, Where are you getting the surgical towel's from ?
I bought some used ,but sterilized and cleaned one's from my local hospital for 1.10 per dozen. I bought 25 dozen of them. That was a few year's back and I'm getting low so I'll see if I can buy some more . They did work good on glass for me.

I have a link to a store that sold them... I may want to start looking around to see if I can find it still
OK maybe I'm anal but I break my towels down like this:
I use cotton towel's for wheels/wheel wells.
Then I use MF's for everything else and seperate by color. Wax removal is orange, glass is blue, etc. I used to use cotton on interior but after trying MF, it is the only way to go...... no lint
