usually i just wait about a month and do a load of laundry of just car towels afraid that being so dirty and full of chemicals that they might make my other cloths dirty too. i bet they wouldn't but i don't like to take the chance.

My car has its own towels.
In fact, (because I also live alone) the car has more towels than I do.
Serious.

Now thats an interesting question. Because I have an unusual story about that. We have a several cats, but the oldest female (she is about 14 now) really loves my wife. Funny, I guess cats are like people in a way. There are some that like me more, and some that like my wife more. Anyway this older female would bring my wife gifts every morning for a long time. She would bring the gifts to the front door, then annouce very loud, that she had something for her. We would open the door, and it would be a nice clean rag. 2 -55 gallon trash bags full later. I still don't know where in the hell she got them. I've been using them for years. However, I still steal some from the house. Oh, isn't that terrycloth the ultimate for cleaning parts???

Cute cat/towel story. Bet you have a neighbor somewhere going slowly crazy over the missing towels. We had a cat that did the samething, but just brought dead mice, birds, moles, snakes and other cherished dead objects to the door.

Guess there is a morale to this story somewhere, but I won't worry about that, just glad the dam bird is gone for good.

I took a large stainless steel mixing bowl once to drain oil from some vehicle or another. I thought it would be a bad idea to try to put it back into rotation as a popcorn bowl after that. 
This was years ago, and I still hear about at least once a month.
My wife collects Carnival glass. That stuff is ugly. I shoulda used the punchbowl.

Hmmm Couple hundred bucks for an oil drain pan...sounds about right
Seriously mine has its own Microfiber towels and diapers (no flames...they are great detail cloths) ...My wife liked the microfiber towels so she bought some for our bathroom
You want to actually be careful not to run your detail towels though the wash using fabric softner....not sure why but it actually leaves a residue that can create issues/marks etc...at least according to the car care forum guys and the Zaino folks
