sorry for all the questions guys

I have seen the pixs and heard everybody talk about how great Zaino is so I order 100bucks worth of the stuff,

I currently have a black car and use Meguires every week to clean it. My car has no scratches and no swirl marks beleive it or not...

I heard in order to apply Zanio I have to wash the car with dawn to get all the wax off. Believe me I have a lot of wax on this car so I prob have to wash it a few times with Dawn I also ordered the Zaino claybar..

If I wash my car with dawn will I create swirl marks???

I dont want to wash the car and create a thousand swirl marks...

How many times do you think I would have to wash my car with dawn to get rid of all the wax??? should I wash my car everyday with dawn for like 3 days and then apply zaino. I wanna make sure i have all the old wax off so zaino can be applied properly!!

Actually you are giving "wax" too much credit, it isn't very durable. Wash with Dawn, clay it and then wash with Dawn again. The surface will not bead and should squeek if all the old wax has been removed. You are now ready to start Zainoing.

As far as creating swirl marks, if you are using good 100% cotton towels and have a good technique you should be fine. It sounds like you do a good job already of not getting swirls, the Zaino will only make it better.

Should I even wash the car with 100% cottom towels????

thanks for the help kevin

I use the white Viking 100% cotton wash mitt, but a 100% cotton towel would work. If you can't find the mitts locally, KevinSS used to sell the Viking mitts and he sells great towels that he trims, cuts to size and restiches with cotton thread. I've bought several packs from him.

I just use those spungy foamy things...

But most of the time I just take it to a car wash and use the pressure washer and spray the car down with water.. Then when I get home I use the Meguires Quick Detailer on the whole car to get rid of the water spots..
