My BMW has some black which I believe is paint. It is on the windshield wipers and door posts. I’ve tried 303 protectant, Z-CS, and Z5 with no luck. It still looks faded. Any ideas?

I've been using Zaino products for several years, and have been very happy. Generally, AIO and multiple coats of z-5. I promised a friend that I would wax their car (a large SUV), and thought this might be a good time to go ahead and get a machine polisher - probably a PC UDM. Thinking I'd...

I've used Zaino products for about 5 years and have been very happy. I need to place an order and detail both of my cars once I get it. I've used multiple coats of Z-2 and/or Z-5 in the past. I see that they now have an AIO product. When would it be advisable to use this prior to the Z-5 (or...

We have an oak vanity in our bathroom that needs restoring due to the moisture, etc. Anyone know of a product that I can put on it to bring out the old color and also protect it in the future. I seem to remember reading someplace that you could use 303 protectant, but I'm reluctant to try it...

We just got a new car and I am going to apply 303 fabric guard to the seats and carpets. I didn't like the provided spary bottle, so I'm planning on using a hand held sprayer. The 303 web site suggests a fan shaped nozzle, but I'm having a hard time finding one. How much difference does this...

This past weekend someone got some grease from a bicycle chain on beige passenger seat of our subaru. I treated the seats with 303 fabric protector ten months ago when we got the car. I got 98% of the stain off with 303 fabric cleaner and then tried turtle was power out upholstery cleaner, but...

Sooner or later, I am going to need something to clean the carpets and seats of our cars. I was thinking about getting a Bissel Little Green or something similar. But then I read a thread about “real� steam cleaners (Saeco Piccolo was mentioned as one that worked well and was...

I applied 303 high-tech fabric guard to the upholstery, headliner, and carptes of our new Subaru. Seems to be working great. But I got some overspray on the dash and tops of doors (black plastic). This caused very faint spots that I can't seem to remove. Thought after a few applications of...

The guys at Jiffy Lube left grease on my carpet (next time I'll put in the all weather matts). I tried 303 fabric cleaner and the worst of the grease came out, but the area where I applied it is slightly darker - maybe it just moved the grease around or maybe I didn't rinse it well enough. I...

Does anyone know of a good place to get detailing supplies in Northern California? Preferably in the East Bay.

Is there anything better for protecting cloth upholtery than spray on scotchgard. That's all I seem to be able to find at the auto parts store. Whatever I use, should it go on the cloth door panels, headliner and carpets? Thanks

Just took delivery of a new Subaru Outback. Naturally, the dealer offered their version of the interior/exterior, 5 year no maintenance, $750 protection package. I declined on my last car, but it has leather upholstery so the issues are different. I've been using Zaino all around and have...

I’m new to detailing and recently got my set of Zaino products. Before I used them on my BMW, I thought I’d try them on the Wife’s station wagon. I washed it, clayed it, quick detailed it. Then I decided to use some AIO that I had left over to clean the paint. I followed this with the...

I bought the Zaino leather products and have been very happy with the results. The Zaino web site says that Z10 can also be used on the dashboard and other vinyl surfaces in the interior. Is this a good idea, or would something like 303 be better? It seems like the âہ“natural...

I have sheepskin seat covers on the front seats of my BMW. How often should I remove the seat covers to condition the leather?

I have sheepskin seat covers on the front seats of my BMW. How often should I remove the seat covers to condition the leather?

I keep my car in the garage at night and park it in a covered garage during the day. Seems like the Zaino quick detailing spray will take care of it if done frequently. But I'm new to this. How do you know when it's time to actually wash the car?

Just got my Zaino products and will be trying to get the new car in shape this weekend or next. It is a light silver metalic. I've seen several mentions of using AIO as a base coat for Zaino. Interested in any other opinions on this combination (the folks at Zaino say absolutely not). I have...

Got my Zaino kit to use on my "new" 2003 BMW. The outside is beading water like it was just waxed, so I'm starting on the inside. Will clean the leather with z-9 and then apply the z-10 to the leather, dashboard, door tops and other vinyl. What, if anything, should I use on the hard plastic...

Just got a new car and want to take care of the paint and the leather. It is silver with a clear coat. I've used Klasse all in one and lexol products for the leather for about 10 years. Have been pretty happy with these, but looking at the reviews - it might be worth giving the Zaino products...
