I'm expecting my ordered car to be in this next week. Based on comments I've read primarily in this forum, I've just ordered the following:

Zaino: ZFX, Z2, Z6, Z7, and Z18

Microfibertech.com: 5 MF "elite" towels and 2 cuffed MF wash mitts.

What else might I need? Any suggestions, or am I pretty well-covered for starters?

I'd add Z16 for the tires. I also like their applicators. I'd get some cotton towels from lazaino. I like the waffle weave microfibers (like the Big Blue) to dry. I use the microfiber mitts to wash, but I use cotton terry mitts to do the wheels and tires. I also use one to apply the Z16.

You may want to get some detailing brushes for the interior, plus something like a Vac 'N Blow if you don't have a good vac for the interior. I tried the Viper microfiber for windows today -- it worked really well. Just wet it, wring it out, and do the windows. You don't need any cleaners and they dry spot-free. I also have Z12 and it's a great glass polish. I have the Zaino leather stuff also, but haven't used it as yet. You may need some specialty brushes for your wheels, depending upon what you have.

I'm pretty much a rookie at all this detailing thing. You may want to go to Autopia and use their search engine. There is a wealth of knowledge there also.

What do I need the waffle weave towel for if I'm using MF to dry?

ctouhey

Waffle weaves are microfibers but because of the weave absorb water quite well. I can use one Big Blue and dry my whole car (but I have 3 others plus 6 Little Blues just in case).
