Default what towel/cloth do you use?

What towel/cloth/chamois do you use to produce the best, swirl free results on your Z? Also what do you to apply and remove your favorite wax? Lastly where did you buy your great product? The reason for asking is I'm tired of my wax, and I'm guessing my 100% cotton cloths aren't 100% since I have swirl marks. I'm going to use Zaino I think 95% sure on that part. I have a chamois I have been using to dry my car, but don't know if it is hurting more than helping it. Car color: Redline

I am the Zaino distributor for TN and I have plenty of the correct kinds of towels. I have, make, and sell two kinds of towels, I have done many hours of research to look for the best towels, basically I have two kinds. Pre Fab micro fiber towels which are the www.dftowel.com It is an all nantural fiber towel made from cotton and cellulose blend.

The other kind of towel I have are Supima cotton bath towels, I take these in the rough, remove all the hard factory edges and design trim, cut them either in halves or quarters (depending on what my customers prefer) and then run them thru a special machine that puts a new edge on the towel using triple stich 100% cotton thread, this is called serging.

The only chamois that I like is called The Absorber.

I will send you an email that details all of my services.....

Used 100% Cotton towel from Fieldcrest or Cannon until I noticed swirls. The only thing that touches my car now are towels from www.dftowel.com...and Zaino. For drying I use the "Big Blue" and Nikota Car and Shop Blower. Per "erock's" recommendation found it at Checker for $19.99. It is as he said "awesome"!

I used fieldcrest towels with the edges cut off. Noticed swirls and hairline scratches after a while. Ditched them. I now use MF towels.

I'm using the Absorber to dry the car, MF to detail and 100% cotton bath towels to remove the wax.

I use cloth diapers (expensive) but work great. I've used them for over 30 years. My kids are now 38 and 43. When they grew out of diapers (no disposables back then) I thought there must be a use for them. If they're soft enough for a baby's bottom they're soft enough for my car. They last forever and never leave a swirl. I have used and loved 'em for years. BTW. I still use wax. I use Mother's now.
