"Zaino-ites" - new "white" towels



http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/...roduct_Count=0

Just ordered some.

The "blonde" towels are used for quick detailing with detailing spray.

The new "white" are for polish removal.

I'm going to try the "white" towels for drying too and will let you all know how they perform.

Me too I use it for that and the Detail Spray

Might have to get some of these as mine are slowly shredding...

NICE thanks.. I buy any new product from Zaino. BTW. I did a Comparison with Griots #2 polish and Zainos Z2 on my new orbital. No contest! Zaino crushed Griots polish by far.

Thanks Moose! You are a big reason I even started using Zaino, so the next time I have to order from them, I'll be buying some of these!

Are both of these towels 100% cotton? Doesn't cotton get hard after routine washing? Any special techniques for washing these? I add vinegar to the rinse cup for my microfibers, does this assist rinsing for cotton too?

Thr Zaino towel instructions indicate they may lint initially and mine did but it cleared up after the first wash. Zaino also says not to use fabric softner. I run mine through an extra rince cycle and they come out of the wash just fine. no problems with them getting hard so far but time will tell on this one. They really are a nice towel and I would highly recommend them over microfiber but I believe personal preference wins every time!!

Cool. Thanks for posting this, Ed. I've decided to go with Zaino and look forward to your report.

Thanks. I have been using the "blonde" towels to remove the z-5 and z-2 as well as using them for the z-6 and z-8.

I'll add these to my next order I'll be placing in a week or two.

Sorry, but this is absolutely not true. The towels are microfiber and are made (woven) in Korea.

The difference between the blonde and white towels is the weave pattern. The blonde towels have a split weave, i.e. they are 2 sided. One side has a loop structure for cleaning and polishing; the other side is fluffy for buffing. The 'new' white towels have a more dense weave that is the same on both sides. These towels won't shed unlike the blondes.

The final marketing gimmick that the Zaino's use is that they exclusively sell this towel. This too is absolutely not true.

I cannot comment one the white towels as I have not held one in my hand, but the Zaino blonde towels and the cobra yellow towels are not the same at all.Just from looking at the picture on autogeek , they are not as plush and the middle towel on the right side has a border.Zaino blonde towels have no borders.If I order the white towel from autogeek and Zaino and they turn out to be different towels altogether,will you buy the autogeek towels at original purchase price plus double shipping (one from them to me and then from me to you) ? .


and I hope you are not calling the Zaino blonde towels microfiber.Because if you are, your word will mean nothing,it will just be something to laugh at.
