Post Help with royal velvet towels

Just picked up two white royal velvet towels and I was wondering what size to cut them into and what kinda preperation should I do to them, like cutting off the edges or not. Thanks.

If they're the bath size RV towels, I like cutting them into 2 sections to make it easier to handle while buffing. I don't cut the edges off, but I'm very careful when I'm buffing and QDing to keep the edges from grinding into the paint. Have not had any problems using that method to speak of...

To prepare them, give them a normal machine wash using liquid detergent and NO softeners or additives (bleach etc). If you use powdered detergent it is possible for a granule of the detergent to not dissolve, get stuck in the nap of the towel and scratch your car’s paint. Dry them in the dryer the same way, with no additives. The towels should be stored in a clean place. If the towels collect dust from sitting around, that dust may put tiny scratches in your paint.

Great! You're in for quite a treat with Zaino! Remember to apply very thin coats. Zaino is very concentrated and less is truly more. Did you get the new ZFX or Z1? ZFX really takes Zaino to the next level...

I had originally ordered the z1,z2,z5, claybar and the spray polish, but I went and ordered the zfx so I could get it done faster since i didnt want to leave it overnite.
