Zaino does not hurt the clearcoat, it doesn't remove clearcoat like a polishing or rubbing compound. The idea of taking care of the paint not wrecking it.
Do you need to clay the car? No! Does it make a difference, heck yes. The claybar kind of "pulls" contaminents from the paint removing it before you seal it in with a protectant. It makes your starting surface crazy smooth. You can clay a car before putting TurtleWax on if you want it's not a Zaino specific thing.
Do you NEED 100% cotton towels to use Zaino? No! These are all just suggestions to keep your paint in the best possible condition. Supposedly some towels with polyester can scratch the clear coat. If you don't use cotton towels with Zaino will you get the "glow" that others post about? Absolutely!
Its just a matter of how anal you want to be.
