Post Is there a orthadox way to wipe zaino off?

I allways apply the zaino the "deep" way with the top surfaces going front to back and the sides going up and down.
I was just wandering because i have always gone across the "grain" since it is easier. is it okay to do that or should i go with the "grain"
BTW: IT's BLACK!

No is no special way to remove the Zaino. Most important is the towel you use and to be gentle.

Yeah, I agree. I don't think there is any magical way to remove Zaino that will enhance it's shine qualities. Like Kevin said, the right towels make the most difference. Also, I think it's better to make many light, quick strokes than to press the towel into the paint.

You could always experiment a little and see if you notice any difference. Maybe do half the hood one way and half another method. I personally don't think you'll see a difference, but you never know...

Whenever I am removing Zaino it really is tough to get out and sometimes looks like a residue is left behind from the Zaino not totally removing. Am i not letting it dry long enough?, putting to much on? new towels? and help thanks.

Probably both. Zaino should wipe off almost effortlessly. More than likely you are not letting it dry long enough, and if you're using too much it'll take even longer to dry. If it's leaving a residue film behind, that a sure sign that it's not completely dry. Always do the finger swipe test before you start to remove anything. Just take you finger and literally make a swipe along a panel. If there is a film where you swiped, leave it alone for now. If it is pretty much clean and residue free, than it's safe to remove.
