Glare is what I use to clean and shine my bike!  (At least until Chip sends me some Royal Blue!)

Oops, I forgot.
Just remember, I can't sell it to you.

I use them on the paint at first, then move them to preliminary cleaning of the dirt and dust off my wheels until they get funky, then I use them around the garage for general wiping up, then I toss them.

Am I the only one that doesn't wash them?  :nixweiss:

So, usually I'll only use them on paint when they are new and sort of migrate then to other uses after that much like you, Joe.  Only difference is I do wash them before they go to the next rotation.  After about 2 washes, they're more than ready for the trash the next time they get dirty.

I don't either. Buy them in bulk and do same as you.

I have always washed them with the other rags and old towels with no issues.

Same here.  After they get scratchy, they become shop rags for other purposes.  Do not dry them in a dryer when still using on the bike or other vehicles.  After that life cycle is over, just wash & dry them like other rags.

Knew a guy who bought them new, used them once, then just threw them away.  Like lighting a cigar with a dollar bill, the way I looked at it.

Always wash them and buy in bulk. If I use them on my wheels and they get to dirty I throw them out.

Don't necessarily buy in bulk, but do have about a dozen or so.  I wait until I'm down to my last three and wash them as I would any other load of laundry, only without fabric softener... then dry without static sheets/dryer sheets.  Got one of them fancy machines that senses the load size and only uses what water is necessary for that size.  Dryer also has some kind of fancy science where it senses when the clothes are dry and doesn't waste energy, especially if there's only a handful of small rags.  Most of the time though, I just let them air dry themselves.
