    How nice to see you using Zaino Leather products !!!

    I still like and use their Leather Cleaner/Conditioner with Steam through a towel, and then when all dry, apply their Leather in a Bottle product, same as you, for the perfect leather scent, and for how nice it leaves the leather from all the marques I have Detailed over a zillion years...

    Yes, I also have and use Leather Masters products, but pretty hard to beat how well that Zaino Leather Cleaner/Conditioner cleans and makes the Leather just perfect for their Leather topping product..

That didn`t last too long though, I don`t remember the name of it.
    pretty sure it was detailersclub.com. Pretty much every other post on it was someone making baseless accusations about ScottWax.

    Years ago. I got a rather defensive reply that made clear his stance on ceramics and underscored his belief that his products always have been and always will be superior, as highlighted by his sales numbers and customer retention.

    The car smells wonderful, totally reminiscent of when we bought our first `special` car back in 2004 and I started with Zaino and the car always smelled sooo good from the Leather In a Bottle. I left the rags out in the laundry room that I used when I got it last week and so every time I walk by the laundry room on the way to the garage, it`s a little trip down memory lane. I shoulda done this a year or two ago!

    Wonder how that`s working out for him today?

    I presume Sal is pretty far into retirement at this point and isn`t too concerned. I would argue he left a pretty good mark and legacy regardless of whether he jumped on the ceramic/graphene/diamonds/alien bone fragment bus.

    It’s a real photo of ‘a’ Zaino factory but not ‘the’ Zaino factory. Apparently an Italian food service company: Modern Catering Services from Zaino Gourmet | Italian Cuisine

    The mailing address for Zaino, which back in the day was a UPS Store (Mailboxes Etc. at the time) on Rt. 9 in Howell, NJ, is now an automotive aftermarket manufacturer in Lakewood, NJ. Must be a friend of Sal`s that lets him use that address, as we know the fulfillment center is in the middle of the country somewhere, except for us NJ residents, who can`t order from the Zaino website.

    The fulfillment center used to be in the Kansas City area if I remember correctly. Interestingly, someone from Zaino does still send out a weekly newsletter but it mostly just consists of customer submitted pictures of their shiny cars. No real detail tips or product information, sadly.

    I do believe this bottle came from Kansas which I thought odd for some reason. Not sure where the stuff shipped from back in 2004-2005 but it seemed more regional (shipped to Ohio).
