Yes... but if they ever touch ANYTHING other than wax, you'll never be able to use them on paint again. I've got a dozen that are useless because of a dried leaf that snuck in to the towel wash.Quote:

Could you call them Zany? ::Rimshot:Quote:

Polishing - Zaino
I used to use Meguires but it is such a PITA to use. Zaino is much easier to apply and remove and the results are as good as Meguires. I never had a problem with the streaks as mentioned until recently.
I wonder if it's either the age of my product (3 years?) or my switch to microfiber cloths. When I used 100% cotton towels I had no problem.
I bought Zaino at a LSMC event. The dealer made a BIG deal about the 100% cotton being the ONLY thing to use. Told me to only buy towels that said 100% Cottton Made in the USA because imports weren't always 100%. He even recommended cutting off the edging material because the thread in the sewing machine is not 100% cotton. He was all about the fact that anything but cotton would scratch the paint. Later, I learned that cones would also scratch the paint, but that is another story.::Flag::

Zaino is almost no dust at all. Zymol has lots of dust.
Zaino is more labor intensive if you go through all the steps.
But I like to use this product for cone marks.

So can I find Zanio local?
The pointy board also gives rave reviews to Meguiar's NXT wax, although they say it will not last as long a Zanio.
I always had good luck with Meguiars back when I had my Corvette.
You should be able to find Zaino easily...
Hold on and I'll find you the info.
I'll be damned if I can find anything other than local (mega bucks at that!) detail shops...
Used to be a guy in Plano that sold it. Only place I know of is www.zainobros.com
Yup... there's also a guy that'll sell you a $150 detail service for $165.
His $125 detail service goes for $130.
Go figure...
I called the guy I bought stuff from years ago. He's out of the Zaino bidness::Bawl::
Sounds like maybe we could talk Gary into carrying it... :D
Yea I know it's old but I just finished Waxing both the '99 and the '02 with Maguires Gold Class and a micro fiber towel and it worked awsome! :DQuote:
