    I sometimes use brand W before using GC. It's not better then Adam's but it is cheaper and I follow up with GC for perfection

    I feel your pain, I clean my windows almost weekly just to keep it away, thats the easiest way I have found to do it in all honesty. Clean windows are a small pet peeve of mine so taking the 15min to clean the inside and outside of the glass is well worth it.

    Chris, I would suggest going over your glass several times and have plenty of clean glass towels at your disposal.
    I know sometimes they can be a pain.

    I would recommend only using Microfiber Revitalizer & Brightener without any other detergents.  MFR&B is a strong detergent designed specifically for removing waxes, polymers, polishes, and oils commonly associated with detailing.  Regular laundry detergent is not strong enough to remove many of the detailing products from towels, especially the sealants.
     
    While some might use other detergents to save a little money, if you buy the MFR&B in the gallon, with a sale discount, the amount of product used for one load is less than a buck, not much compared to the cost of these premium towels.
     
    While I do not use any vinegar, some people use it for the rinse cycle.  To do this, it would be placed in the fabric softener dispenser.  Putting vinegar directly into the wash load with the detergent would be counter-productive, as the vinegar would work against the detergent.
     
    It is also a good idea to run a cleaning cycle on your machine before running your detailing towels, to remove any laundry soap build-up in the machine.  Before washing my Microfiber towels, I run a clean-cycle on the washer with some distilled white vinegar to break down the build-up of detergents and fabric softeners inside the machine, as this build-up is bad for the detailing towels and can also be full of contaminates (like glitter). Since MFR&B is a stronger detergent than regular laundry soap, it will break down the build-up in the washer and mix it into your load of Microfiber towels, unless you clean the washer first. The dryer can also have contaminants from other loads, such as rags, rugs or shoes. A thorough vacuuming of the dryer along with a wipe-down is good practice to prevent the clean Microfiber towels from being contaminated with stuff that can cause damage when used on your paint.  If this seems extreme, take a closer look at what gets collected in the lint screen of the dryer.

    The scent of LC is one of the best smells in the entire universe.  Its like saying you don't like the smell of a fresh-cut Christmas tree, or the smell of a chocolate chip cookie right out of the oven.

    Pool/sheet rinsing will DEFINITELY add to the drying "power" of your towels. By doing so, I can pretty much dry two vehicles (Optima, Xterra) with one GWDT, allowing it dry some between washes, and it still soaks up the water. Must admit, it would be handy to have two, but I've done well with just the one. Bottom line...buy it!

    I would play it safe and just use the microfiber rejuvenator 1 to 2 ounces alone in the wash.  I have a washing machine (HE) that has a “Whitest/White” cycle. Hot wash/cold rinse/high spin/second rinse. I spot treat any white towel with a spray of microfiber rejuvenator, let it sit for 5 minutes and then throw it in the wash. That’s been working fine for me.

    I use Dreft baby washing detergent (about .5 to 1 oz) along with MF Revitalizer and every now and again a spash of vinegar.

    As long as whatever detergent you're using is a liquid or disolvable pod, then you're good. You don't want to use powder detergents because they don't always dissolve and can get caught in the fibers and scratch the paint. I usually do my towel with a good soak and wash with the Revitalizer, then a regular machine wash with Tide liquid.  So far........so good.

    They are great towels for Waterless and Rinseless Washes.  They are all I use to dry after a Rinseless Wash, and I also use them with IPA wipedowns and for removing clay residue.

    Not sure if you are referring to the Great White Drying Towel or the waterless wash waffle weave towels.
     
    I've only used the GWDT and have found that to fully dry my Scion Tc it takes 1 towel. I do use detail spray as a drying aid and that helps me limit it to 1 towel, otherwise I feel like I would probably use about 1.5. Hope this helps.  As I am sure others will say, if you pool rinse it will take less, etc.

    We had a prototype version over a year ago with a different smell to it, but it would unfortunately turn to a sort of rotten fruit smell from what I recall. Lots of testing needs to go into each product to make sure it's just right
