Default how do you store your polish/wax applicator?

Not sure what it is even called, but the round foamy/microfiber/terry cloth type of applicator that you use to wipe on polish or wax...

Can you wash these, or reuse them or what?

For instance, the thing you get with Meguiars Gold Class liquid wax

Can you reuse those or just throw them out after a single use or what?

If you can store them, how do you go about storing them?

I wash mine in cold water after every use and store them in a plastic bag. I use microfiber applicators.

Heres what I do:

I only use the Megs foam applicators once for waxing/sealing my box. They are basically two foam disks thermally sealed at the edges. After I wash and rinse them, I cut them apart so there are two circles, and each one gets cut again so I have four half-circles. I use them to apply protectant to the dash/plastic interior parts, along with putting on the tire shine (FYI - I do NOT use the same one for both, smartass ). I find the tire shine does not "fling" when using this method, and the foam is durable enough so it does not leave pieces of itself all over the place.

I think they are cheap enough to justify NOT using them more than once on my paint.
