Towels and Reload?
Is it recommended to throw away towels used to remove Reload (i.e. does it ruin the towels like a ceramic coating)?

I wash towels that are used with reload with something like micro restore. Never had an issue reusing a towel or the towel hardening because of the little amount of silica in the product.

Like Guz, with RELOAD, I have never had an issue with towels hardening after an application. I do have a bucket with an APC solution and water nearby and presoak them after use. Then a normal wash with Micro Restore soap and wash.
I’ve even inadvertently let the towels sit for a day and NEVER had them harden.

Hey guys, regarding the bucket of APC. Do you dilute the APC solution with a 10:1 ratio and then dump all the towels in there before washing? Thinking of picking up some Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner.

No issues with towels & Reload here either.

Never had an issue with Reload hardening any of my microfibers no matter how long I waited before washing them.

I love shiny things
IMHO although I am not a chemist, soaked in a diluted APC then washed with a mf cleaner product and your towels should be fine.

At what dilution ratio Merlin? I have plenty of Meg's APC & a bottle of ECH20.

I do this with all my towels. I have a 2 gallon bucket that I mix with APC. The precise measurement is 2.5 glugs. So glug, glug, gl.....
Seriously don’t need a ton of APC. 40:1 is a pretty good ratio for presoaking towels.
