Default Need Wash Tips & Zaino Canada Problems!

The Zaino Canada Rant

Hi Guys, First things first... I need to get something off my chest.

Zaino Canada is a joke. I called them at 3 PM Mountain Central Time, they are located in Ontario. I reach some anonymous mechanic shop, and the buddy on the other line goes "Oh yeah, Mike's gone for the day." "Ummm..isn't this the Zaino Canada order line?" "Yeah, well, its a shop...this is the right number, but buddy who does that isn't here"

So, sure enough...this chap tells me "If you can find a piece of paper... you can fax him, or e-mail him your order and he'll get it tomorrow."

Now, am I the only person who has a problem just blindly faxing their Visa information across the country, to some guy who works for a mechanic shop??


:rant:


Help me Wash my car!
Now, secondly... my car is black, and after last wash it got a few minor minor swirls, I think I can get them out with Zaino... but until I can obtain the Kit (US Zaino doesn't ship to Canada?!!!? Canadian Zaino is $14.00 More than American - yes I am factoring in the currency conversion !!!) :skep:

So, can anyone offer me some wash advice? I have a sheep skin mitt, a good shammy and a sponge...

I need the minor swirling to go away, and for the paint to look fully liquid, any tips?

1. talk to Dwayne76 about where he got his Zaino,
OR
2. talk to 1bad69 about his new Arizona line up of wax/polish (like Zaino) and he is in Ontario, the stuff looks great and Mike is a great guy just launching this product in Canada.

I am just frusterated because I was really hoping to get it shipped to me before the weekend... If they send it on Wednesday I am likely to not see it until next week...

That'll have to do though. Mike is alright to do business with then? from what I can tell on the other side of the phone is really limiting...

I ordered mine from Crown Auto Emporium in Guelph Ontario.
They do not take phone orders you have to mail or fax their order form to them. You get the form at http://www.zaino.ca. It did take a week to get it to me and I'm just a little more than an hour away.But I had no problems and they did email me when it was shipped.This stuff is amazing and very easy to use

I'd go with Mike (1bad69) just take a look at his black car, no swirls just very very shiny! and he's a good fellow Canucklehead to boot. :thumbs:

Do you guys have a place in the malls out there called "The Barber Shop"? That's where I get my Zaino, and they seem to have a good stock at all times.

i buy my Zaino locally from a BC Corvette Club member. he sells/distributes Zaino products part time, has good stock and the best prices. email me if you want more info.


did you use 100% cotton, made in North America towels to wash you car? cheap towels contain synthetic fibres that cause swirls.
