Default What do you wash your car with? ie material....

Do you use a gloves, 100% towel etc etc? What kind? What marerial?

My 350 comes next week and i want to be prepared!
I just spend $267 ordering Zaino products, and now i need to know what to use the car wash with.

Should i use a 100% made in the USA towel or do i leave those for taking the Zaino off?

Wash mits good? What do i look for?

Any insight would be great!


ps. Dr B, i know your going to read this and thanks a ton for getting back to me in pm land.

Whoa! $267 worth of Zaino. I hope those are $CN. Otherwise you bought a sh*tload of Zaino.

I use a lambs wool mitt for washing; a waffle weave microfiber towel for drying; a cotton towel for removing Zaino.

You can also use a cotton chenille mitt. Both are available at any place that sells auto supplies. (I don't know if you have Autozone, OReilys, etc. in CN).

I am sure the cost of getting the products into Canada was expensive. You made the right decision using Zaino! Stay away from the 100% Cotton towels made in the USA. You will get swirls. Consider looking at towels and applicatior from dftowel.com

Cotton Chenille mitt or covered sponge work great. Have two - three available that are soaking in a bucket of clean water to rinse out dirt and hidden particlesbefore returning to Z7 and your "Z". Look at autopia-carcare.com for mitts.

Get some drying towels "BigBlue" for either autopia-carcare.com or pakshak.com.

This should get you going in the right direction. Enjoy!

Looks Black, but it is a "Brickyard"

Go with those things I mentioned from autopia-carcare.com and dftowel.com and you will be set for a while.
