I don't know if the Mr. Clean soap eats the wax, but several reviews posted here seemed to indicate that it certainly dulled the finish so those guys stopped using Mr. Clean.

A couple of people has reported using the demineralized water rinse by itself. I don't see where it is worth the $$$. It's way to easy to sheet the water, blow away the trapped water then dab up the remaining spots.

Once you get a few coats of Zaino on a car, water beads so much it's almost impossible to keep it wet. I've noticed that even soapy water beads on a Zainoed car.

 

I stopped using my Mr Clean as soon as i Zaino'd my car. I would ideally like to use a blower to get the car dry, but infortunately that is a bit difficult for me. I just used a 100% cotton towel to dry the car and i think it may have left a couple of swirls. After extensive use i think it might lead to many more swirls. Any ideas on how to avoid any type of swirls from towels n such when a blower isnt available and mr clean dulls the finish??

 

hmm....You could pick up a lab grade Reverse osmosis/deionization unit for about 200 beans.

99.9% H20 molecule and nothing else.

I just got done washing the car and found that drying the car with a towel by just dabbing the water worked really well. I didn't think that it would soak up all of the water and would leave small and annoying water spots/streaks but it didnt. I think i will be doing this until i can do the blower trick.

 

Drive over 120 mph. It'll air dry very quickly without leaving streaks!
