I just used ONR for the first time today. Car came out pretty well! I was wondering how people are cleaning their sponges and towels after using ONR? they're pretty dirty after just one use.

I use a grout sponge with ONR. The sponge I use on the wheels gets FILTHY dirty. It's weird, too, because afterwards, I can run it under the sink, run water through it and wring it out, and no dirt comes out of it. It stays completely black and the water coming out is clear. Then, add a little dish soap and work it in, and ALL of the dirt is released. Gushes of black water come out, and the sponge returns to its original yellow color.

The whole thing is so dramatic, I've half-thought about taping it with a camcorder just to show people. A video clip of me cleaning a freaking grout sponge. Crazy.

Anyway, a little soap should release the dirt from the towels, too, I would think. I use a MF towel to dry when I wash with ONR, and I just wash those MF towels with my other MF towels. They seem fine -- but of course, unlike the sponge, they weren't dirty to begin with, just wet with ONR.

Hey, thanks for the tip.

I put a little too much soap into my grout sponge and sat there for like 15 minutes squeezing it all out! But it got nice and clean.

For towels just wash them as usual in the dryer, samething with the microfiber mitts I use with ONR, they come out looking brand new. For the grout sponges the dish soap and hot water works great.
