You can wash them but they'e a bit flimsy. Use only liquid detergent and don't use any fabric softener.

Dr. Bonz:

How have you incorporated Z-8 into your routine?

I've been using it as the final wipe down, sometimes after Z-6 or instead of Z-6.

Thanks . Man, all this stuff is definitely going on my birthday list..

Once the car has been Zaino'd, is it easier to dry down the car and wipe off water spots on subsequent car washes?

Water beads right off. You may want to try to dry the car with an electric leaf blower, then touch it up with a micro fiber towel. That is the preferred method of a lot of Zaino users. The slick finish of the car allows the water to bead up and slide of VERY easily.

Thanks again. I had been using CrystalGuard for the last year, but I noticed that after about 6 months the solution in the bottle began getting cloudy (....) and now there are medium sized pebbles on the inside that I can hear bouncing around when I shake the bottle (again, ...). The solution must have precipitated out or something, and now it's completely useless to me.

Zaino sounds like a bit more work than what CrystalGuard advertised as their method, but for shine and water beading like that.. I'm ready to give up a weekend . Plus, the dust-repelling properties of the Z-8 is very attractive. I live in an area that always has some kind of construction going around, and it hurts seeing the dust stick to my newly washed SB. It mocks me.

I've pretty much replaced the Z-6 with the Z-8 now. I think it works better. I still use the Z-6 on my windows and my wheels though.

Not sure where I got 29.95 from. Guess I just remembered it was pricy. Now I feel even less guilty buying it by the case. Not that the price maters much. I'd still use it all the time.

Hey Doc, whats the shipping cost on a 55 gal drum anyway?
