This guy is a really good presenter, I can't believe I just sat through a video about how to wash towels

Do you know what I enjoy most about your videos? You don't relentlessly press people to buy a product. I previously sold new vehicles and I still find myself feeling uncomfortably pressured to buy products with other detailing YouTubers. You may mention your product, but it never takes precedence over actually teaching people something. I won't name names, but I just watched another "clean your towels" video from another company and cannot believe how much BS they feed their viewers and how their sales pitch overtakes their information.

Thanks for keeping it real and informative.

I met Larry for a brief second at the Hershey Porsche Swap meet and car show. He was incredibly friendly, took time to chat and i got to thank him for all the awesome things he has taught me (and all of us) with his videos. Larry is a stand up guy and i hope he continues to keep teaching us his magic tricks.

I’m not a detailer, but the professionalism and information quality makes these videos interesting to watch!

20 minutes on how to wash towels.
I love you Larry, I know how you think. No detail gets past you.

I do a D wash every time I get in the shower. Just playing. Awesome and insightful video man. I lost my job in March when the pandemic dropped on us after buying a house for my wife and three kids and I have been scrambling to survive. I’ve decided I’m gonna start my own detail business. Just came across your videos and they are incredibly helpful brother.

Larry, great videos and information. I have been doing construction longer than you have been detailing, take my advice, change out your dryer vent pipe from plastic to a minimum flexible foil duct. Better yet make as much of it as you can hard pipe and then foil flexible. It is a gas dryer and you are looking for a fire to happen. The plastic duct work is probably hard and brittle the heat does the same to that flimsy plastic duct work as a microfiber towel.

AMMO products back up every word and video that's put out. AMAZING, AMAZING stuff! Crazy how some people over look the simplicity of caring for the MF towels and poly percentages. Just slapped those ammo decals on my truck. so sick and glad to represent the NY in Hawaii! People always ask me where to get them and am happy to explain the products I support.

A 20 minute video about towels should be boring but it's not - Instead I found it captivating. Cheers buddy!

[judithneeley]

I ended up here by accident, however I'm glad I watched this. I had zero idea there were these differences in towels, and why, and everything else you mentioned! I was just about to go buy some towels so I could spring clean my truck. Glad I saw this first. You're in the right profession as you are detailed more than any other man I know!

I'm a chemist who used to work on powder detergents, Tide specifically. You have a pair of problems no single detergent can tackle alone, dirt and oily or waxy residues. Your application requires 2 washes per load.



If you are seeing powder detergent left over on fabrics, you're using too much powder. It takes much less powder than most people use, 1/3 to 1/2 scoop for a full sized load. Use less for smaller loads. Use even less if you have very soft water.



Powder detergent has an advantage no liquid can match, sodium aluminum silicate or similar compound. After extensive testing, I recommend Tide. It really does clean better. One of its functions is to keep soil removed from fabrics in the water and not redeposited on the fabrics. This is important for loads like yours. What dirt you get out needs to stay out.



Since your towels also have a high waxy oily content, two wash/rinse cycles would be better. Wash and rinse once in powder detergent, then a second time with liquid detergent. Oils will stay in the towels during the powder wash. The liquid wash will remove those organics. The second wash should also wash the washer so you don't have to run an empty load as often to clean it. It may not matter which order you wash in, but you need both on these towels.



Use at least a warm wash and warm rinse. Hot wash and warm rinse would be ideal. Cold rinse will cause waxes and oils to deposit inside the washer and back on the towels leaving them with residue, and you'll have to clean the washer more often.



This regimen may allow you to get more life out of your C towels before they turn into D towels. The D towel you showed could be cleaned well with this combination of wash cycles. If you try it, please leave a comment as to how it worked for you.

Holy shit a 20 minute video on washing a cloth. You are incredibly detail oriented! So suited for your job. Glad I found these videos.

[witchcraftauto]

I absolutely love your obsession with what you do. It isn't crazy as much as it shows your complete dedication to what you do and the amount of care you put into every single detail of it. Thank you for your dedication.

[jtaft]

Just wanted to take a few minutes and thank you for this video. I have OCD about detailing my car and using the best cleaning supplies but one thing I never did was clean the micro fibers I would always buy new which can get pricey. This shines some light into sorting what towels are and if they need to be thrown out. I am so thankful someone else out there thought of this.

How to detail and clay your dirty microfiber towels coming up.

[fielding]

I'm so enthralled with your enthusiasm and perfectionism. I find your tutorials fascinating. Thank you so much for your time and patience making them.

[deadpoet]

Umm.. I just spent 20 minutes of my precious life watching a YouTube video on how to wash my MF towels. Was it worth it? YES! Thanks Larry for your hard work in the industry, as well as in YouTube Land.

[tjones]
