I'm very surprised you didn't use any clay first. Every one I've carefully felt needed it. I haven't Zaino'd mine yet, but it really needs the clay badly. Here's the link for the towels... http://www.dftowel.com/

I had some swirls when I took delivery, courtesy of the prep at either the VPC or Performance Center.
I did clay mine right off the bat and it made a definite difference for a consistently smooth surface. I zaino'd mine as well with Z2 (no Z5 on-hand this time) and I managed to created some light scratches of my own. I think my oldish towels were slightly abrasive here & there. The light has to be right to see the scratches, but they're there. When I zaino it again in 5 or 6 months, I'll use Z5 and some dedicated detailing towels to see what I can do to eliminate the swirls and scratches. Thanks for the heads-up on DF Concours, TagMan. :w00t: In the meantime, it looks pretty damn good, subtle issues & all. :biggrin: |

You're very welcome.
Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your presentation. I read and watched every bit of it... wanting more at the end.
