Default Cotton towel/Zaino question

1. Anyone know where I can order some actual 100% cotton towels to remove my zaino with? I have microfiber, but they are the small ones that only do a few panels each. I know zaino used to sell some that had the ends cut off.

2. when I mix the z2 with the zfx.. how long do i need to wait to take it off the car? thanks guys!

D.F. Towels do a google search for them.

45 minutes is good enough if you are layering otherwise the longer you leave it on the better and easier
it is to remove, I know a lot of guys who apply at night and take it off in the morning.

Yes, depending on how hardcore you want your detailing session to be, I always let my first coat sit overnight in the garage, and then I let each coat after that sit for anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour with a coating of Z6 in-between.

if you are mixing with the zfx depending on weather conditons you shouldn't have to wait overnight(30-45 mins. max) The reason zfx was developed was to speed up the curing process. So if your going to wait overnight for the polish to dry why even use the zfx?? Again it was made to SPEED up the process.

Zaino gets better as it is layerd. Leaving it to dry overnight is not going to have any added benefit. The more coats applied the better it gets. Remember it is recommeded to only apply 3 coats in a 24 hr period.

Here's a thread i made to show how my Z looked after I applied Zaino for the first time.

I only use microfiber towels to remove my Zaino.

Big Blue towels can be purchased here:

They also make MF bonnets for your orbital buffer: http://www.properautocare.com/plmibubo.html


I wish they made human size bath towels!!
