waxing tips ?

I have bad haze marks on my black cl I have had my car for 2 months and I usually dry it off by haulin ass. I used a shammy I bought one time but it seemed to put haze marks. I bought this water wand ( its a squege ) and it works good at drying it but makes this horrible noise when im usin it. I thought the marks wern't getting worse but they might be maybe its the wool wash thing I'm using or the water wand (its suppost to be realy good)
maybe its the wax the dealer uses (do you know what kind it is)I have A free detail from the dealer but
I think I just want to zaino it myself(clay, z2,z5,z8 and the polish lock).I am just worried that when I buff it out the wax It will make worse haze marks ( I bought some diaper towels from pep boys, they seem like they would work well for buffing) PLEASE HELP ANY ADVICE ABOUT WASHING DRYING OR WAXING WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

1 are they haze marks or swirls?
if they are haze dont worry about it if there swirls use 3m swirlmark remover
2 apply zaino per the web site directions
3 use microfiber towels to remove wax
you can get those

and while your there get a absorber drying towel, and a chenile wash mit or sponge. and use the wool 1 you have for rims and fendeer well exhaust etc

thediffrence between swirls and haze is, swirls are round and heavier almost look like scrathes. were haze is just that it looks like something trapped in the paint, my car is night hawk black pearl and when its hazey it looks like a smear on some glass.

zaino will remove 99.99 % of hazing, but not severe swirl marks

Sometimes I take it to a detailer just to get there opinion and then do the work myself.

I would not expect haze marks with Zaino (it is not a wax, its a very thin polymer coating).

With Zaino you can expect to see the actual car finish. Z5 will take care of minor swirl marks (two coats Z5 eliminated all traces from mine). Z5 did make my color appear slightly darker though.

It gives a beatiful finish, and is very easy to put on & remove & maintain. Z6 is recommended before/after Z2 or Z5 to reduce the static cling!

It took 2 coats of Z5 to make my paint haze/swirl free.
