Default Use 100% USA Cotton Towels For Everything and use the Zaino Applicators!

Default If you are close to a SAM's club

I found some really large bath towels, 100% cotton, made in USA, by Fieldcrest/Cannon for under $5 each, cut them in half and cut the seams and trim off.. makes two really nice sized towels for use on the TT... I bought the ugliest color so that no one will "mistake" them and use them for something other than intended..<p><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/akracttq.jpg" border="0">

Default Not sure if it really matters, but white recommended...

...colored towels may have pigments that can cause very small scratches. And with white towels, if you accidently pick up something that might scratch the finish like dirt, chips, hard bug piece, etc. you will see it before you go over the entire car with it (easy to pick up stuff like this on the front and around the wheel wells. And even grease or other stuff will be more easily seen on white.

Default Just picked up Zaino from the Gloss Boss this afternoon. OFFERED TO HELP ME APPLY FIRST COAT!

Guess there are a few advantages to living in Indy after all.

Her red Camaro with 40 coats looked pretty sharp. Says she gets tired of always putting Zaino on the same car, likes applying on other people's, too.
Too bad she's not a neighbor.

Ouch.. I JUST bought 8 "oversized" white 100% cotton U.S. made towels from Bed, Bath, and Beyond for $12 a pop. Crap. Sams is up the street too. heh.

Oh well, when these get old I'll drop by Sams. Thanks for the tip!<p>

"It's just a car" is reserved for Luminas, etc. Duke suggets a group apology.
