Greasy and very dirty ones get washed and then get used and reused for house-hold cleaning. Ones that I use to QD the car that stay relatively clean get washed and reused for use on the car.

Definately use a quality cotton washmitt and lots of suds when u wash. Don't press hard, let the mitt do the work.

Decent product, my only complaint is that it seems to dust a lot on removal and I believe it has mild "polishing agents" so not sure additional coats actually layer. Durability isn't bad at all.

I use a washmitt and a foam applicator to scrub in detergent or wheel cleaner on spoked wheels. There is no easy way, but keeping them waxed speeds up the weekly cleaning process for sure.

If you like the look of pinnacle, I would use that by itself as it was intended. You kind of defeat the purpose of using zaino by putting a product like that over it.

You can use Z6 or Z8 after applying Z2/Z5 (pro) without using zfx. I myself tend to put nothing over a fresh coat of Z2 or Z5 until after the first wash.
