I have been a zanio fan for a long time. Unfortiently, my new baby is on her way and well dealing her for the first time is going to become a major issue.

Ideas? on which to use for her first time after clay bar and such?

Also, any interior tefon protection that should be done?

thought so

what about the interior? anything cool that will go on to protect the carpet?

I use 303 High Tech Fabric Protectant on the cloth portions of my seats. I suppose you could use it on carpets as well. Maine are black so I didn't see a need. 3M Scotchgard is also available in an sutomotive formulation.

I've also used the 303 Fabric Protection with great results.

I haven't used the 303 protectant on the inside of a car yet, but I plan to when my MINI arrives. I do use it, however, on my canvas patio furniture with great results. The 303 fabric cleaner and fabric protectant are great products (but a bit pricy).

I can get them locally at a Smith and Hawken store (upscale gardening), but I think that marine stores would also carry them.

I'm a fan of Griots Garage products (www.griotsgarage.com) but it's a personal thing I admit. I used to use the "Z" stuff but nowI use all their products including the sealer and detailer. They have a great book on car care that is worth considering even if you use other products............................(MTR ON)..................................mgg
