Zaino towels MIA

bplourde · 06-24-2010, 10:26 AM

Does anyone know of a place to purchase Borderfree Zaino towels? It appears they no longer sell them at their store and no dice on eBay.

If they're lost and gone forever, any recommendation for a similar towel? I haven't found anything comparable yet in terms of softness but i've heard DF Concours towels are a good choice?

Adam's Polishes towels are insane.. they have a drying towel, super good quality MF towels, and even a glass towel..

Adam's Polishes NEW Adam's Double Soft Premium Microfiber Towel is such an awesome towel. Made me realize that i was using really crappy microfiber towels. The only drawback is $13.95 for a towel is brutal. I guess the question is should i buy a new t-shirt or a towel to clean my car with?

You email zaino? Their towels are so soft and leaves very little lint.

emailed them while ago. They said they were out because of how fast they sold. I did not ask them when they would have more.

I switched to the Adam's as well.
However consider the blue ones, I'm not convinced the new white ones are worth the extra money....

tomnavone · 06-24-2010, 06:23 PM

^^ adams discontinued the blue ones. Looks like u can get the blue ones only through stillen now. Not available anymore from adams.

Just used the new White ones from Adams today for the first time and I think that I like them better than the Zaino towels.

I was just putting on Z6 after a wash and the Adams towels do not leave the little lint frizzes like the Zaino towels.

Any recommendations on how to wash those MF towels? I have the Adam's MF towels (double soft premium MF towels and the great white waffle weave MF towel).

Machine wash, separate from your other laundry.

Use a warm or cool setting and extra rinse if your washer is equipped.

Liquid laundry soap only, NO GRANULATED, and unscented/undyed ideally. If you're really serious about it look into getting Micro Restore detergent. Sold at many detailing websites (I have a few sources if needed)

You can hang dry or machine dry separate from your other laundry. If you go the machine route make sure to use a low heat or air fluff setting. NO FABRIC SOFTENER EVER!!

If you get a build up of static on the towels use a mist of detail spray or waterless wash prior to putting them to the paint to break up the charge.

Thanks Dylan! It looks like I'll be buying some liquid detergent!

Will washing in the same washer as your clothes soil the washer with wax/polish etc.?

StealthZ · 07-12-2010, 03:25 PM

cobra microfiber is mostly what I use and they have very good quality and it dosn't shed at all. I highly recommend them to anyone. and washing I usually do by hand or use a "free" detergent as to not add any type of chemicals to the towels.

RomRox · 07-12-2010, 04:54 PM

whats a "free" detergent? no detergent?

Thats one issue, but the other thing is the cross contamination into your microfiber. Cotton lints all over the place (think of what you pull out of the lint trap after a cycle of the dryer.

Microfiber by design doesn't lint, but it is very "grabby" so it will pull all the lint in from the other towels. Then it ends up redepositing on the finish of your car during use.
