I only have the one with the double bottom, that holds the grit away from the mit... OMG I feel inadequate...
I also... erm.... mix 100% cotton towels with microfiber, for different things... forgive me.... sniff...
Never thought of color coding microfiber cloths... that has to be the next step.

Micro fiber cloths? FWIW: you should be **** about them.
Be careful with them. Seriously. You can ruin them by washing with cotton stuff. Also don't mix MFs used for wax with other MFs when washing: you'll be sorry! In-dryer fabric softener will also kill them: no more streak free shines. Google it, see for yourself: I'm just saying what I go by.

I'll admit, I'm a poser-A.R. I keep the car clean, but I like to drive it. And I'll leave it dirty for a few days at a time.....
I leave it dirty because I don't want to scratch it up with a quickie cleaning. I'd rather detail it nicely all at once. This way I get to drive a clean beauty every few days, rag the heck out of it (it actually runs better the harder I drive), then clean it back up and restart the process.
I agree on the MF tips. I've recently ruined a set that I had due to improper washing with cotton. They are still soft, but FAR from lint free. These will move to the wheel cleaning cloths now.
I don't color code, but I do have a window set, paint set, and wheel set of cleaning gear.
With the help of this support group, I hope to move to full A.R. in 5-7 years...

To me the microfiber cloths are disposible item. I use each cloth only once, and then gladly dispose it.
Costco sells them (the yellow color one) in a big (36-cloths) pack. Everytime I go to Costco I grab a pack or two.

After having driven 170+ MPH many continuous times when I still lived in Germany the soft paint in my bumper became impregnated with German insects...it's been over a year now since my last autobahn stint and the same bugs still reside in my bumper. Oh well.
