Wax Off

[ssok]

In the summer months I usually wax one vehicle a week between my F150 and RR. I usually wear plain white t's all summer long, and when they get pit stains I use them to take the wax off when waxing (wax on with applicator thing, wax off with t shirt).

Thing is, I wax more than I sweat. What do you guys use to wax cars with thats washable and reuseable? Im not using those one time use expensive microfibers.

wax on...wax off...

I think you may be thinking of cheese cloths that are one time use. i only use microfibers, and when they get nasty or filled with wax, i throw 'em in the laundry (not with clothes mind you! LOL), and they come out nice and clean! after about 5-6 washes they start to come apart.

i found that white tees don't take all the wax off, it kinda smears the wax...

I quit using cotton products a long time ago. Terry seems to be ok but the microfiber is better imo.

Microfibers are best. If you have a Costco wholesale club near you they usually have them at a good price.

Microfibers cloth's are incredible for polishing...just colour sanded a Bimmer (dark blue) and it looks fantastic...bought a whole bag of them at Costco.

I use a special wax-removal cloth that looks like cheese-cloth, but it is not. Its a good combination of hard wax buffer and reusability. For general polishing, after the wax is removed, I use the microfiber.

Does this have a product name? I'm always open to try something different....

I don't use wax on cars in Arizona due to the high heat we have here, it just melts it away. I use a poly glycoat type of product.

I wish I kept the packaging, but I bought it over 15 years ago and its still going strong. It is synthetic and looks like a waffle-weave like cheescloth, but much much heavier. It is sewn in a "cylinder" sleeve fashion so you only need to fold it once to get 4 layers between you and the car. The weave basically acts like pockets to hold the wax particles.

It was designed to be used back in the day with stuff like turtle wax, you know the hard wax that was nearly impossible to buff out unless you were chuck norris. I bought it back then and as the waxes got better, the cloth made it easier.

Nowadays, I only use it on my daily driver stuff since the nice car gets more of a glaze-wax than a real wax.
