    Yeah I really like the Z7. Their leather cleaner/conditioner is good too.

    I agree...I just put some Zaino (Z5) on my truck this weekend and used some Z7 wash. Z7 is a very good wash but it's pricey. I found DG 901 to match it in performance (foam gun) and cleaning ability.

    Z10 (Leather in a Bottle) is very nice. I put a coat this weekend on my 350Z seats. When I got in the car this morning they had a nice leather scent.

    Hmm.. If the lotto thing falls through, there is that bank down the street :drinking2::ar15:

    One thing that really impressed me last time I ordered Zaino was how quickly the order arrived (next day) :headbang:

    It killed me having to wait for my FK1-425... I ordered it the day before the Zaino and it finally showed up 2 weeks later :waiting:

    It's crazy how spoiled guys like Mike (Zaino) and Chris (E-Shine) have made me with their quick delivery times :cheers: cause 2 weeks really isn't anything to complain about.

    Anyhoo, just felt like yapping a bit about this :bla2::joint:

    I would use jetseal 109 instead of all that mess. IMO js109 looks much better than zaino

    Update:

    They've arrived :applause2:

    First order of business was to check the ZAIO & Z-5 for swirl hiding ability, so I ran outside and put some on a metalic red 2009 TSX demonstrator car that's started to swirl up on me.

    Process: Clay top of trunk, wipe with Z-6, AIO (let dry for 30mins), wipe with Z-6, Z-5pro (dry for 30mins), wipe with Z-6. All done in direct sunlight with temp at 17C.

    Results: I wasn't expecting much, but there was definitely a noticeable reduction in swirls.
    - The Z-5 added a glassy shine to the paint (which I absolutely love :thumb:)

    I can only imagine what multiple layers of Z-5 will look like, but it looks very promising :headbang:

    P.S. I just put some Z-2 on 1/2 the hood of another TSX that I've been babying in the showroom. Not dry yet, but I'll try to remember to report in on the results.

    Z-2 Update:

    Well, it looks like I've found the end of the rainbow boys.. there was no improvement :sorry:

    To be fair this car is brand new, looks perfect, and has only been outside for a total of about 3 hours (protected by film), and has been adopted by (yours truly) a detail fanatic with OCD :pimp:

    Maybe another coat or two??? :shrug:
