1) For washing the car
2) For dryng the car
3) Applying zaino
4) Buffing
5) Quick detailing
6) Anything else I forgot

Thanks in advance for any help!

Sounds like a good rig to me. I use the wool wash mit and the buffing towels. The drying towel you've selected is what I want to get. I'm still using the Zaino applicators and a similar DF Concours applicator, but the Blue Perl Microfiber Applicators s/b great, too.

Ok I went ahead and ordered these:

Genuine Wool Wash Mitt
Blue Perl Microfiber Applicators
Concours Buffing Towel
Sonüs Ultimate Drying Towel
Raggtopp Protectant

This stuff can get expensive. All this stuff plus the Zaino package I got is costing more than $200! Well it's still cheaper and much better than the car care kits the dealers offer. I'll be busy this Saturday...we'll see how good the Mini looks afterwards.
