Back in my single days, I would use the Zaino system and spend most of the day detailing my car. Obviously times have changed, and now that the weather is getting warmer and I have the time, I want to wash and wax my two cars -- a Mazda CX-9 (Silver) and a Lexus IS350 (black). The key for me...

Let me know folks... I have a Lexus IS350 with chrome wheels that are in serious need of love (brake dust is caked on), and the interior needs a good cleaning too. Let me know, if the prices are reasonable I'll jump on it else I'll wind up doing it myself.

Hi all, Just curious what people thought about Meguair's NXT vs Zaino's Z2/Z5 products? I usually use 3M Swirl Mark remover (and skip the Z5) as I've done in the past, but now with my wife's car joining the mix of mine -- I need to detail it and I have no product left! Would appreciate any...

Just Z2 and Z6 in between... 3 coats of Z2. The rest was claying and using 3M swirl remover :)

I might be changing jobs to something I have to drive to.. obviously the m3 isn't the car to do that unless I get winter tires, and to be frank I don't want to put 20k miles a year more on the M3!! That said... I was thinking to get a Mazda3 (I sold my last one because my job went into NYC...

It's been a while since I've been very anal about keeping my car well kept... I have been using Meguiar's NXT liquid wax on my cars and it does a decent job... It's been so long since I've used Zaino I can't remember the results. Anyhoo.... I'm going to be getting (this week) a BMW M3, jet...

Need to get some leather seats repaired... some wear and tear on it and it's easier for me to drop it off and have them fix it up. On a BMW M3, black seats. Or so you think I can do it myself in a weekend? I am wanting to try the Leatherique route but.. dunno :) If you think I should, can I...

Just bought a car from a buyer in TX... it's perfectly what I want, but it's.... IN TX! I'm in NJ so obviously I need it shipped. Who would you recommend, and what kind of prices do you think it would run me? Any advice appreciated! :)

Hi guys, I am buying a used M3, but the drivers/passenger seat leather has signs of 'rash'.. The leather has been rubbed by getting in and out of the car and now has worn a bit and looks white where it should be black. This is on the edges of the seats. Anyways, I am wondering what the...

Before Zaino

I know of LeaseByNet.com, LeaseCompare.com, and SigLease.com. Being that I'm shopping around, anybody know others? Thanks a bunch!

on my rear seat, and left it there overnight. When I got the car the next morning I could smell it... and the carpet was eaten thru. How much would it cost to repair, or replace the upholstery/faux carpeting on the car? The carpet mats are okay, but anything under them behind my passenger...

I have read a lot about this, and there's no real method listed for the application. How do you guys do it? I was going to do this: Dawn Wash Claybar Dawn Wash ZFX Z2 Z6 (repeat ZFX 3 times) Then top it with S100 Am I right in this, or is there more to it, in either the Zaino...

After taking all the advice on people of this board... I sat down with my brother today and spent about 6 hours detailing my Millenia (which by next week, will be *his*!)... So here's what I did after about 6 hours... it started off as a simple wash but evolved into something much more...

I am getting my car in a week or two (hopefully the former!), and I've spent countless dollars on the tools required to get the car looking new. I figure when I get the car, I'll give it a hand wash with Dawn. Then I'll use the Zaino claybar and clay my entire car. After this, I'll use the...

Hi all.. I'm getting prepared for my car to come in (two weeks or thereabouts) and have already instructed my dealer NOT to wash it. I will order Zaino tommorrow and also want to buy Aquapel for the windows. Also if you have any other suggestions, I'd appreciate them. And also, if you...

Hi all. A while ago, my sister spilled bleach on my rear seat (she and my mom took my car grocery shopping and well...), and I didn't realize it until the next day. Needless to say, the carpet pretty much melted. I realize at this point the carpet will have to be replaced but.. How...

Not a leather protectant... a CLEANER what should I get? I need something that will rip the dirt out of the seats -- it's gotten pretty bad now that I've left it for a while. Also, what type of brush or cloth should I use to apply it? And should I buy a protectant afterwards...? Which...

Hi everybody! I will be, in about three weeks, getting a new 2004 Mazda RX-8. First, what instructions should I give the dealership as per the detailing of the car? I know they will likely wax/wash it as it just got off port, but I'd rather do it on my own. Also, what route to take? I...

Sorry, I've got a few synthetic chamois that soak up water well while I'm drying, but since I'm just now getting more anal about my car (and after 4 years I should!), I'm curious as to what they are EXACTLY.. Anybody have a picture, where I can get good ones cheap? And what are they used...
