So this weekend it was time to wash the car, and get an idea of how well the Zaino held up. In preparation for washing, I ordered a couple of those large yellow Sonus waffle weave drying towels.

Washed, rinsed, then it was time to dry. There was a lot of water on the car, all beaded up, so the Zaino was looking like it was in good shape.

Then I draped a Sonus towel over the hood, and just laid it out flat. When I took it off, there was absolutely not a single spot of water where the towel had been. Amazing! I just kept draping the towel on different sections of the car to make the water literally disappear. I never once had to do any wiping action with the towel (so no danger of swirling). Just laid it on flat, and peeled it off, water absolutely gone. During the drying process I wrung out the towel only once.

I guess it was just a battle of who wanted the water more, the Zaino coated surface, or the towel. Obviously the Zaino wasn't having any of it, and all the water ended up in the towel.

After I dried I put on two more coats of Zaino. Hopefully 5 coats should last through the winter.

Zaino + Sonus = highly recommended by me! If you're using Mr. Clean Autodry, stop. I works nowhere near as well as keeping a good Zaino finish and using a real thirsty towel like Sonus.

THANKS FOR THE INFO.... this is exactly what i'm looking for a fast and quick way to dry my car...(i hate the drying part cause the towels i used never does the job). So it looks like you've found the magic thirst drying towel. I will order one now.

thanks again.
