Nice cart man! I need one. I go through bottles of that Meguiars quick detailer mist & wipe.

How do you wash your dirty microfiber towels? I usually throw them away if it's dirty. Because of rock and other debris.

Chemical Guys microfiber wash works on the towels. I wash them after I'm done with each car wash....they go in the machine as I'm on the way back into the house. I then have clean towels ready for the next use. I've also found that it's best to follow the wash of the towels with the washing of my "stinky" clothes - the MF wash does leave a bit of odor which wife doesn't care for in her washing machine

The ones that survive after a carwash. I usually throw them with bathroom mates. I'm sure the CG is safe.

You can get them online cheap. Take few minutes to install. Plug and play. They tend to fade over time. You can just buy new ones when it fades.

4 bro? Which one do you have? So far mine has been great. Pretty compact and the easy grab handle to move around is nice. I'll be using this probably this weekend to powerwash the driveway
