I am a proud owner of a 2001 Black TA. I need to know some good cleaning tips such as type of wax to use, where to get it, etc. I tried zymol yesterday and really don't care for it too much. I got better results with Mothers wax. Also I bought a California car duster, is it safe to use on this color? Once last thing, cleaning the dash and upholstry - what to use? Any other tips or comments for keeping up my black paint job let me know

 

you guys got nothing? This is a great board with a lot of knowledgeable people, tell me what you got.

 

Zaino

 

I like the mothers myself. Although this is a forum dominated by a lot of people who might as well own stock in the Zaino company. Its good stuff, just expensive. Make sure to use a car wash and not a dish detergant, leave this in the kitchen. I would use Mothers Reflections (Polish) a few times a year, and for the rest of the times you wax it use regular mothers carnubba cleaner wax. if the paint gets rough sopts use the clay bar to stragihten it out. As for the tire shine , i wasnt all that impressed with the mothers Duration Tire Treatment, Here i use other products. i would wash the duster out with dish detergant when it gets real dirty or if it is leaving streaks on your nice black paint. As for the dash and interior plastics, i like to clean them and then use Mothers Back to Black. this also works better on the tires than the Mothers stuff for the tires. For the rims i use mothers chrome and billet polish and than wax them after polishing to protect.

Hopefully your car is still pretty clean in and out, it is a 2001. i hope that helps you out , and does so with out costing a fourtune.

 

Zaino is rated highly on nearly EVERY major forum and wax test, and none of them are paid in any way for what they say. It's simply a bunch of people that are tired of what the car care market has to offer and want something better and more advanced. And for the life of me.....I still don't understand why so many think Zaino is expensive..... For the money people spend on the full line of Mother's, Meguiar's, etc, you could easily have a full Zaino package that offers much better protection. In fact, I spent much more cash on Meguiar's products over the years because it just didn't last long. I doubt Meguiar's complained about that though....

Zaino ranks highly for a reason.....

 

Thanks for the responses, they are appreciated. The car looks great right now, tried Zymol on it, turned out pretty good. But I think I'm gonna order some Zaino and give it a shot. I'm tired of hearing all the hype and want to see if it is true. What products should I get from them, do they have waxes, polishes, etc?
