Daveyd, I use Blue Coral upholstery cleaner on my seats, its amazing stuff

 

meguiars for me!

 

I have been using Zaino Bros For about two years now and i have never found anything that works better. I have use other brands as well even race glaze for a 30 million dollar jet. Nothing compares to zaino. My only complaint with it is that zaino is developed for show use. Since that is the case it will not last as long as some of the other waxes so you need to wax more often. But when your done nothing can beat it's shine.

 

Your sig says you have an OZ...I was referring to what people use on their Recaros to clean them. I would assume Blue Coral would work

 

lol soap and water doesnt cut it anymore huh?

I need to go to that detail car shop again... they only sell car detailing materials. If anyones interested and live in CA psm me and ill give u they're address. They are in Irvine.. or very near there.

 

Zaino is expensive, but if I am going to invest my time into polishing my car, it does not make sense to use a lesser product. I cannot personally comment on its longevity yet, but as far as shine, it hands down beats anything else I have ever used, and I have used 'em all.

 

I have heard that Zaino is very labor intensive to use. Is this the case? Does it take much longer to put a coat on then other waxes?

 

how do use GUNK to clean ur engine bay?
Do I juz spray it all over the engine bay and leave it for 15min and then wipe it clean??
I've no CAI or wutsoeva..so I guess i wont have to cover anything right?

how do you clean the windows from the inside if u've tint?
ppl say not to use Windex...

 

look on bottles at your local auto store or even department store. should say "safe for window tint".. should be ammonia free.

 

um... WHAT?! Zaino ISN'T durable? I hate to break it to you, but its tremendously more durable than any natural wax you'll probably ever use. and if it isn't as durable, it will look 293847298374928374 times better. Meguiars used to last about 2 weeks on my car, but the last time I applied zaino (applied 5-6 coats...) it left my car slick for about 5 months. Only then did it lose its slickness, but it still had every bit as much shine. I refreshed the coat a couple weekends ago just to get the slickness back. Just driving it around in the rain washes debris off of a freshly zainoed car. this stuff is GREAT. It also repels dust and grime and makes the car MUCH easier to wash. Zaino is GREAT for the everyday. its the other stuff you need to watch out for. Pinnacle souveran for instance offers MUCH greater gloss and optical clarity, but will only last a few days on a car left out in the sun. Zaino is DEFINITELY meant for cars that are daily driven..

 

anyone seen the commercial for the new Mr. Clean Auto Wash? looks pretty cool, wonder if it works.

 

I agree 100% with Evoandy. It's definitely durable. I left a double-coat on my 330i for a year before refreshing it, and water still beaded!! Touchless car washes make the car look like it was just hand-washed, nothing sticks to this stuff. Hell I can't even set a towel on the hood or it'll slide right off.

 

ZAINO! outside z2+zx cure, Z6 finshing spray 3 coats. Zymol miroc fiber towels for wax removel.

Inside I use this great stuff can't remeber the name?

Seats I use a stain remover from Borsello I got from a Subaru dealer.

And a Heavy duty wet dry vac for inside Vac. work.

Zaino is worth every penny and will last you a very long time witch makes it very well worth the price.

Pretty much the be all end all of car detailing as far as I'm concerned. One of my S4 buddies put together this detailing routine list.

And yes, he is WAY ****. But has the best looking black paint on the planet.
