Car WASH Suggestions
Looking for some suggestions on what kind of car wash to use when washing my black 8? I've tried several ones and they all seem to, slowly strip the wax.
Any suggestions?

Zaino Z-7 Show Car Wash
This stuff is very easy on your wax and has a UV 40 rating. (always helpful with black cars)

I'm usually afraid of anything that says, "Quick & Easy" In car terms that usually translates into "Cheap & Useless"

Ok Ok so after reading all the rave reviews about Zaino I decided to take the plunge. I have only used Liquid Glass since I brought her home. Now my intentions were to try a few products at first then go from there. But noooooo I had to go whole hog and order the Ultimate Kit. So it looks like I'll be planning my own Zaino weekend soon. Thanks guys.

the quikest and coolest thing about Zaino after you do the inital hard work of claybarring, and a few coats of wax. When it comes to the regular wash I am always impressed after the wash and a spray of Z-7 "anti-static" / "cleaning" spray. Makes the whole care gleam and smooth as a baby's *** (not that I would know how smooth a baby's *** is) but you get the point. and it only takes about 10 min to do the whole car with a spray of Z7

Never used zymbol, sounds too much like Zaino. Cheap imitation maybe? I don't really know, sorry.

All car wash soaps will slowly strip your wax. I like to buy an over the couter wash solution that isn't too expensive but does a great job of cleaning as well as lubricating while I'm washing because I wash my car so frequently. That's why I go with Meguiars Gold Class shampoo. Target sells it for about 10 bucks a gallon. Using too much soap and not enough water will strip your wax faster but if your using zaino it lasts so long anyway that you shouldn't have to worry about it stripping much of the protection off. I'm on my 4th layer of Z2-Pro right now

Dont use Johnsons baby shampoo.
All the products recommended are fine, but DO NOT use shampoo, dawn, ect. You need to use a car wash product.
Personally, Ive used Meguirs Gold Class, NXT, and Griots Garage- all good car wash.
And with a black car, use only quality cloths, etc. I use a white 100% cotton wash cloth and a boars hair brush to wash and micro fiber towels to dry.

I dont see anythere here about using drying Chamois cloths. The yellow ones. Used to use these back in 1997 (the last time I had a car a cared about). 
Obsolete now? Just cotton cloths these days?

Don't know--real chamois is so damned expensive that I don't use one. But a good, BIG, microfiber towel works much better for me than the artificial chamois.
But 100% cotton certainly has it's proponents.
