What do I need For My car to shine!!?

Alright im am looking into getting Zaino so don't worry about that but i want to get the best product that i can without spending ALOT of money...

Like what should i used to dry my car or buff it.. Do i used the same thing or what? What products do you use and recommand??

Right now i have the Absorber and i use that to dry my car.. Will that scratch a final finish or what? And if you could could you label what ones i should buy 1st sence don't have all the money to buy the stuff right now i am going to buy it over a period of time.

the only thing i am going to buy right now for sure is 3m SRM and i am guessing a clay bar sence i read somewhere that you should clay it before you do that. Should i buy Zaino's clay bars or is it cheaper if i buy another brand?

Also how do you order zaino? Do you have to have a credit card or can you buy it at like a shop or something(which "i" don't know of any that you can). I was abou to buy The Clay bars and saw it was 7$ something bucks for shipping, so i figured i would ask you all sence i was gonna be buying like 1 of there products at a time..


thanks for any help

For drying I use The Absorber and 100% cotton Fieldcrest Charisma towels.

It will not scratch the finish provided you did a good job of washing off all the dirt and grime.

The Zaino clay bar is 16.95 for 4 ounces of clay, you can get kits in stores for 9.99 for only 2 ounces of clay so you will have to be the judge.

Also how do you order zaino?

You can order it direct thru a distributor like myself or from www.zainobros.com

Do you have to have a credit card or can you buy it at like a shop or something(which "i" don't know of any that you can).

Zaino is not sold in stores

It would be best if you bought all your products at one time to pay less shipping.

I will send you an email or PM about the towels that I make. If anyone else want info about my custom made towels, just let me know.

I'd almost say wait and order a large Zaino order. My orders are generally $50-80, but are so infrequent that the cost is about the same as when I used to buy crap from the stores.

And the best in drying comes from MicroFiber towels IMHO. I just got the detailing kit from MicrofiberTech.com, and they're working WAY better than I'd hoped for!!!
