We you guys are polishing your bikes do you wash the rags out or just throw them out microfiber rags can get add up hate to use one time and just throw out.

Use cotton T-shirts or lately I've gotten some cotton baby diapers. They are cheaper than microfiber and do a better job.
Personally the cotton T-shirts are better than the diapers because the T-shirts have a higher thread count and less absorbing.
Head over to Walmart and pick up a set of XXL or something. And just rip them in half. They are easier to wash than microfiber too

I try to recycle my rags by washing them when the get a "little " dirty, I use microfiber for some things, (chrome) and soft cotton baby blankets like the hospital wraps newborns in for the paint and most of the billet. My main thing is, if a rag hits the floor, it's done until it's laundered. .

Just go to an auto store and buy a dozen shop cotton rags for around $3. I have a big box full and when they get dirty the wife washes them with oxyclean and they come out like new.

I was just thinking, this is strange group of bikers when the cost of rags is noticeable cost or concern.

That's a good size for between the motor finsSome members save the sleeves when they cut them outta their tee-shirts
Never tried the white diamond saw it today at Walmart. Figured might as well give it a shot although it's more expensive than mothers.
A liquid instead of a paste is interesting...we shall see. I feel like a liquid your more inclined to use it up faster than a paste.
But it is vanilla scented so that will be nice bonus.. Haha

It pretty good stuff, I use it now and then. I also like using a cotton rag, the micro fiber rags will actually scratch, if you use the wrong side. Only the soft side is intended to be used.

I tried white diamond ,but wasn't all that pleased with the results, Might have been the terry cloth rag I was using , but I didn't care for the fine swirls left after polishing it off, Very well could have been the cloth, but didn't think about that at the time and gave the stuff to my brother to use on his Hardly D, Since I got the billet polish, I've been using softer flannel cloth and am happy with the results. Might try the white diamond with softer cloth on the brother's bike just to be fair. P.S. the white diamond does smell kinda nice !
So first time using this white diamond...makes my garage smell nice.
It has some kind of sealer on it. I think mothers billet is less work, gonna play around but mothers billet than wipe with this might be pretty good.
