I have been using JT International towles and Pakshak microfiber towels for removing Zaino for a couple years. I prefer them to my Cannon Fieldcrest's. They just seem easier to use. I have all but thrown out my cotton towels.

If it hasn’t been somewhere were it may have froze I would say it is fine. Mine usually sits for 5 – 6 months during winter (in the house) and I never had a problem with it.

Harley shops sell it.

McLaren Reccomends it for the Mclaren F1 roadcar

Do the truck with some meguiars SMR if it's swirled bad, then the S100 paint cleanser, and finish off with a couple coats of S100.

Looks amazing on white! I've tried but its hard to capture in pictures.







If you want any more info on the products/tools i use or just wanna bs, send me an IM, my screename is mlstergadget

Just go to www.zainostore.com and check out their directions for their product. It is straight forward and easy to follow.
As far as the interior. I've been researching a product called 303, but haven't found anyone that has used it. I might have to be the guinea pig on this one. I don't like the greasy, slippery results that the Armour All type products give you. Anyone out there have any experience with 303?

LatemodelRacer2,

Yes, follow that url/info. and there's a TON of helpful info. in there on the prep./application of Zaino.

That's the starter kit I have. I put on Z2/Z5/Z2 in that order if I remember correctly.

Be sure and post .jpgs of your L when your done!

Ronald

Good choice. I switched over to S100 this summer for my Mustang and it looks great. I would replace the Meguiars SMR with Meguairs DACP as it's a little more aggressive but very safe for the paint. The SMR is very similar to the S100 SEC (Shine Enhancement Cleaner). My kit consists of:

Porter Cable 7336 from Lowes
6" velcro backing pad
2 yellow pads and 2 white pads from Lake County
Meguiars DACP
S100 SEC
S100 Wax
Meguairs Final Detail
Pak Shak microber towels
Pak Shak foam applicator pads

Visit http://www.autopia-carcare.com/ for everything you ever wanted to know about detailing. Read up on memeber Scottwax and his recommendations. He's an amazing detailer. Definitely visit his gallery.
