? About Drying Car

After washing and using the leaf blower, I wet down my Absorber and go over the dried water spots. Will this hurt in anyway? I do this when I am too lazy to break out the Zaino Quick Detailer.

if it doesnt scratch then its fine in my book.

I use a pakshak microfiber waffle weave to dry mine.

As long as there is no dirt on the car it should be ok. Black or Dark Blue are the colors I would be careful with.

I prefer using the Z-6 detail spray to do it. That is one of the things it is designed for.

Eagle 1 "Wax as U Dry" is great stuff. It helps soak up the water, while adding a fine layer of wax to the surface. Great for maintaining a wax job as well as making the dirt come off easier the next time you wash.

Zaino needs a perfectly clean surface to bond to, hence the dawn wash. But, I think you can use a caranuba based product over it, but you won't be able to layer more Zaino on top like many like to do.

dawn wash or a 50/50 water/alky wipe down..... that should work

BoneSS feel free, I talked with the owner for a while today about some of the Poorboys and ClearKote stuff along with the buffing pads. If you have any questions he knows his stuff. Hrs are a little different for him though, he lives in hawaii
