    I purchases the Griots Garage edgeless drying towel. Do you guy wash the towel after every use? Or air dry the towel for next washing? This GG edgeless towel is amazing for drying my truck and car. I highly recommend one.

    I air dry mine and only wash it occasionally and not after every use.

    Wash on hand wash/delicate after every use. Low heat tumble dry or air dry. Black truck, so I wash towels every time. ANY dirt left in the towel from previous use can scratch the finish. Same thing with the microfiber wash mitt/mop. Microscratches are not something you notice immediately usually, but over time they will show up if the microfiber has any dust and dirt in them. Learned this the hard way on my 4runner.

    Yeah I was thinking of micro marring over time. I hate washing it every time.

    I have one of those artificial chamois that stays moist in its plastic tube container. I rinse it before using it then wring it out and stick it back in the container for the next time.

    I'm still using the original Griots PFM towels. I wash my towels after each use. For that reason, I ended up having to buy a second one, because they took so long to completely dry.
