Default The Zaino Experiance.

http://autopia-carcare.com/zaino.html

It gives you a run down on how to Zaino your car.

With each paragraph it has highlights which links to its product.

What do the Zaino experts think? This could be my one stop shop for Wash mits, towels etc.


IE:

For Removal of Zaino + use Z6 with - Concours Buffing Towel
http://www.autopia-carcare.com/mf-cbt.html



For Drying the car - My Ultimate Drying Towel
http://www.autopia-carcare.com/mf-200.html


Wash mit - genuine wool wash mitt
http://www.autopia-carcare.com/vk-103.html


Can some Zaino experts tell me if these items are the way to go?
Bonz?

I see the towels aren't 100% cotten and not made in the USA....but they swear by them.

Getting all my stuff from one store that ships to Canada and takes paypal is a huge bonus.

Thanks guys.

Autopia is a good place to order from.

Lots of people use the CBT, UDT and wool wash mitt with Zaino.

In fact, I'm getting ready to order some things from there too.

You have a lot of "Threads" going. I am trying to keep up. Like I suggested, autopia-carcare.com is a good source for most of your stuff (i.e. BigBlue or "waffle towel" for drying and mitts). But for the Zaino products I would stick with dftowel.com for Z5, Z2 and Z6 application, removing and polishing .

I have both the Medium and the Large. Some people recommend the Medium only. Be it for use with Z2, Z5 or Z6, I fold it in half, thus giving me four clean towel surfaces to use for removal/polishing. For the Z6, I do the same. Apply with the side of one fold, then flip and buff.

At autopia-carcare.com go with the "Ultimate Drying Towel" 25 X 36. Get at least two. I really prefer the "Blue Waffle Weave" from pakshak.com Great service, but don't have any idea on cost of getting it to Canada. You might have to send them e-mail

Id rather do most of my ordering from one place...since shipping to Canada is gonna suck.


I can get the following at autopia-carcare.com.

-3 wash mits you reccomended.

- 3 "The ultimate drying towel you reccomended".

- The only thing i'm not sure on is the "Concours Buffing Towel". They claim its the worlds finest natural microfiber terry cloth. Perfect for removel of Z2.
Also perfect for putting on Z6.
Made in Italy though...but they say thats a good thing.

Dustin4u the towels from dftowel.com are the only thing you should use with Z2, Z5 and Z6. Highly recommended by Dr. Bonz and myself. The "Best"! No "Swirls"!

Interesting.

The Blue Waffle Weave micro fibre towels at Pak Shak has free shipping to Canada/usa.

Its $53.85 with free shipping for 3 of them.

The Ultimate Drying towel at autopia-carcare is $45 for 3 of them...plus around $11 for shipping.




You say you like the Blue Waffle from pak shak better anyways.....





Over at DFtowels, i'm getting robbed for shipping. Wish there was better/same quality, zaino removal towels at pakshak or autopia-carcare.
Would make like a little easier

If you get "free" shipping to Canada from pakshak.com Go with their "Blue Waffle Weave". I prefer it over the ones from autopia-carcare. Get at least two.

Have you ever used or heard of the 16" x 16" terry micro fiber towels from pak shak?

In the FAQ...they states they use them for taking off Zaino. Just trying to find a great alternate for the DF towels since they charge so much for shipping.

Thanks for all your help Sungnam. I'm sure your helping others that have the stupid noob questions also!

I use the pakshak towels for taking off Zaino.

FYI, the CBT from autopia-carcare.com is the same at dftowel.com

Thanks MGK65. Saves me the trouble of going to DFtowels.

So know i can choose the concours buffing towel from autopia or the micro fiber from pak shak.

Decisions, decision

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I went to school for the first 31 years of my life to learn how to put busted up human beings back together again and all people want to know is what kind of towel I remove car polish with!

dftowel.com There is none higher.

Waffle weave from Autopia for drying. Excellent choice.
