I am wondering where can I buy (online or locally) those Cannon/Fieldcrest towels that are so highly recommended for car waxing/washing? I have seen many refs to Cannon-Fieldcrest online store, but it seems to be no longer in business. My local Linens-Things does not have these brands. Any other brands? Thanks!

Get a "big blue" not a Fieldcrest.

When I bought last I bought 5 from Bed Bath & Beyond in early 2004 and am using the last one. Do not know if they still sell it though.

Thanks. Can I use big blue both to dry the car and to apply zaino?

I wouldn't use it to apply Zaino but you could use it to remove Zaino

To apply Zaino use the applicater which comes with Zaino.

Why not use Waffle Weaves for drying and MF Towels (16 x 16) for buffing. You can check the following sites for price comparisons; Pak Shak, Exceldetail, Detail City, Autogeek and Autopia. The quality of these towels is superior to ones at Costco, Sam's, Target, Autozone, Pep Boys. One exception would be Meguiars towels, if you can find them.

I found the most important thing with Zaino is to apply a REALLY light coat. For me, Meguiar's Even Coat Applicator worked best. I was able to use much less product and apply more even pressure. I used some Fieldcrest towels bought from my local Zaino distributor (back in 2003 when I still used Zaino) and I prefer the Meguiar's applicator.

Thanks, I have ordered towels from Pak Shak.

BTW, how many 16x16 MF towels I would (typically) need to complete one coat of zaino on TL?
