If you decide to use these to polish/ wax the car, be sure to cut off
the hems if the thread is polyester. If it's cotton, you can leave
them. Poly thread will scratch the paint. You can test it by burning a
thread - if it burns, it's cotton. If it shrivels, it's poly.

BTW, cotton rags are cheap at Costco - 45 new terry ones for about US
$12.

$12 for rags is not cheap to me. That's over a quarter per rag. At
that rate the poster can get over $2 worth from an old shirt. I do
that all the time and save many times the $12. And I read the labels
instead of setting my shirts on fire, but thats a good tip for when
you can't.

Uh... dude... you are supposed to *remove* the shirt
before you test it with a flame.
