I use it all the time on my black Z. If you use it properly, you should be fine. Clean it after EVERY wash, and make sure to follow the same guidelines that you'd follow when waxing (never dry it in circles, just lightly pull it over the paint in the proper directions - in line with the car for the horizontal parts such as the hood/roof/hatch, and vertically for the other parts like the doors, fenders and quarters). The only scratches on my car are the convenient dealership-installed ones from their shitty *** detailers...

I agree. I have used the Absorber for as long as I have owned a car. I haven't seen any scratching come of it.

Well i say good luck using the absorber. It creates suction and pressure and is hard to pull across your car. It defintly can and will create those fine scratches.

As for will 100% cotton scratch your car? any thing can probably scratch your car but as long as you clean it with liquid tide free of dyes and perfumes and make sure there is no debri's in it you should be fine with cotton.

Thank you Forrest. +Rep added for the assistance.

I have your Zaino guide printed up and ready for use in the coming weeks.

P.S. I hope I didn't come off as not believing you, Forrest. I am just a man with a lot of questions, and I'm very cautious about washing/caring for a black car. I appreciate all the help man!

Adam's Polishes - Adam's True Blue Super-Plush Towels 2-Pak

The above are amazing microfiber towels. I always blow dry my car with a very clean leaf blower...........no drying chamois what so ever.

Meguiar's X2010 Supreme Shine Microfiber

'nuff said.

I think that the issues with scratches that most see are they either forget to remove the tag on the towel itself or it's the edges that scratch or swirl the paint.
