Today, for whatever reason, I caught that detailing bug and spent a few hours out in the driveway. I mostly worked on the interior, which didn't need much aside from a little leather conditioning. I tried out that Zaino Leather in a bottle. Another Zanio product I really liked. What I liked most about it is that it gave the seats a "semi-gloss" but no slickness like those meguairs wipes; there like wiping motor oil on the seats. At the same time the leather actually appeared as though they were being treated. I could have swarn they said thank you afterwards, then again it was 85*F out and I was in the sun all day:help: .



As for the ZCS.... its an interesting product that I don't think I know how to apply properly yet. Most people seem to have a problem with using too much; I always hear people saying to use a minimal amount. Well heres what I did. I decided to use a meguairs quick detail sponge (the yellow one shaped like a giant dog bone) because thats all I had and its REALLY soft. I spayed a mist on a panel from about a foot away, and then another next to it so the whole panel was misted with ZCS. Then I wiped it down. As I wiped I say the rainbow colors. The bottle says to work it into the paint which is what I did. Well by the time I worked it in the rainbow had disappeared and I was left with a panel that looked as though I had put nothing more then quick detailer on it. I was under the impression that you should have some sort of hazy residue left over and within a few hours or so it went away. This was almost instantaneous. One thing I will mention is that I did come out a hour later and the car was as shiny as the first time I detailed it using 12 or so steps. So maybe it did work. How will I really ever know? :grinno: (thats a retorical question)

There's no haze with ZCS. Wipe a thin layer on and let it dry. It looks clear almost immediately and, depending on your environment, dries within minutes.
 
I Zaino my exterior 10x more than I use Z-9/10. I need to do that sometime when I get a chance.



You should try a mixture of Z-16 (tire shine) and Z-10 (leather). 5:1

I use this on my interior, and it's GREAT!! Check it out....

As for Z-CS. I use a foam pad and it almost to never leaves a hazy streak behind.. thanks to Scottwax. I don't use the Zaino pads anymore for it.

Wow, Your interior looks really glossy. Keep in mind though, my interior is bone colored so it won't have the same effect.



I like the Meguiars pads, they worked really well the first time I detailed the car, I have to buy some more.
