Cleaning towels

Just curious how to properly clean towels specifically micro fiber towels after using to apply and remove wax?? I use Autoglym high resin polish and the towels are caked with the stuff later. And then I use Collonite 476 which doesn't wash off my car so why would it come out of a towel? Washing them then tossing in the dryer only seems like it would melt and ruin the rest of the stuff in the wash.

Any ideas anyone?

you use the towels to apply or take off the resin?

i only use them to take off the resin and they wash out just fine.

I use them for both. One for applying, then another for buffing. The latter is easy to clean. I'm more wondering about the application clothes I use.

You can use dawn super degreaser or any APC diluted would work fine. Let it soak in a hot solution of the soap for a while than rinse clean.

Autoglym sells special applicator pads. I buy the Canadian tire version where it's 3 yellow round pads about 4" wide. One side is a sponge and the other is microfiber. They work pretty well.

Edit: but I still use a towel to take off the resin.
