Wash them hot as well... I find that 30/40 doesnt cut it.

I tend to soak them in chemical guys microfibre wash for 30 mins then stick into washing machine. Add a few splashes of white vinegar and one of those liquid capsules. Wash, spin and then tumble dry.


The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

In fact... just got 36 of them from costco for 11 quid. Seem soft enough and almost cheap enough to throw away

Can't go wrong with the Costco MF's. Excellent value. For those spending a bit extra, the purple monsters from CleanYourCar are excellent too
