Default clean fibertex?

I've been using fibertex on my skis lately - the grey stuff to knock down
fuzzies on new skis and the white stuff for a final buff.

Seeing the obvious wax residue in the grey stuff makes me think - should I
be very compulsive about only using fresh, clean fibertex? With the grey
stuff it's easy - I can keep the gunked up stuff off the ski because it's
easy to see the residue. I can't see the residue on the white stuff, but I
know its there.

Fiber tex is relativel cheap, so I can see buying a bunch of it and throwing
it away, but I'm wondering if there's a way to easily clean it.

I clean mine by putting them in a pot of boiling water for a few minutes.

As far as I understood the waxing process, fibertex is intended to
remove fibers not wax.

wouldn't it be better to brush (a lot?) more ?
