With the onset of summer, it’s time to start thinking about washing your car. But before you go scrubbing and polishing, there are a few things you need to do first. One of those things is washing the wax polish rags that you used to clean your car. Why? Well, they can contain harmful chemicals that can damage your paint job. To wash them safely and effectively, follow these steps: 1) Fill a large container with water and add the wax polish rags. Soak them for at least 30 minutes. 2) Drain the water and rinse the wax polish rags thoroughly. 3) Pour fresh water into the container and add a few drops of detergent. Swish the rags around for a few minutes to clean them thoroughly. 4) Rinse them again and wring them out hard — this will get rid of any excess water. 5) Hang the rags to dry. 6) If you’re worried about wax residues, you can use a Wax Stripper to remove them completely (just be careful not to scratch your paint!).

To wash car wax rags, you will need:

How to Wash Car Wax Rags
Wax rag washing is a simple and effective way to clean your car wax residue and prevent build-up. Begin by rinsing the rag in cool water. Do not use hot water, which can damage the wax rag. Then place the wax rag in a tub of cold water and swish it around to loosen the wax residue. Use a garden hose to rinse off the wax rag until the water runs clear. Hang the wet rag to dry over a fence or shrub.
