Zaino Out...Prima In?
#101
Just used some this weekend on what I thought were clean seats - nope, really gross goo after using the oil. After the Clean though, soft and supple.
I used about 16 oz of the oil (half the bottle) on the Expedition, but it has three rows of all leather. Probably for no more leather than is in a MINI the 32 oz oil will last 5 or 6 applications.

I've already stuck a utility MF cloth in the driver's side door panel so I can keep the piano black interior pieces clean. I'm seriously thinking about putting a bottle of Z-6 and a monster fluffy in the boot so I'll be able to QD it anywhere I happen to be.
So yes, the OCD is really kicking in .

I know, I figured they probably would do that so the clear bra will adhere correctly to the vehicle. Which is why I plan on putting on some more Zaino when I get her back.

That post is still my basic routine for keeping Jango in good shape.

If you keep it in the boot how can you wipe off your interior trim at a stop light? . But yes, that does sound like a great idea. I'll probably keep a Platinum MF or a Monster Fluffy in the boot along with a bottle of a QD spray.

cars due to carelessness being distrupted by things such as
eating, celphone, and QD'ing their interiors while driving? lol

Agranger, it is great to see you posting again.
MiniMaybee, a big thank you. I wish there were Thanks and Respect buttons as we have on MINI2..you said it all better than me.
But I suppose we are propagating the problem if we are feeling shunned from posting in the noise. Better a bleep in the noise than just static. But it is tough when there are so many threads and posts these days.
Sure, it was a high percentage pro-zaino back "then"... but there were only 3 or 4 posts, not 3 or 4 pages!
To say the least the detailing forum has gone from one of the smaller corners of NAM to one of the busiest. That can be seen as a good thing, but that means there is a lot more noise too. We do have a lot of beginners asking for recommendations...perhaps that should be tidied up and made a sticky to help reduce that. Perhaps admins can merge threads that discuss the same product, etc.

New stickies have been and are in the works. Both Heather and I get tons of emails asking the same questions day after day. Not that, that's a bad thing, but it's happening. We even get CC'd with the same questions. A little tip. if you want an answer to something from either Heather or myself--don't CC because more than likely we will assume the "other" person will answer it. And please don't PM the same questions to us--just post them here on NAM. Even create a new thread if you have to--that way others can benefit from the answers. I know for a fact, our PM boxes are constantly getting full, and I prefer being emailed over PM'd. Just a heads up.

Sadly, the fort is closed! Maybe one day I'll be able to have someone take over when I'm travelling. Which reminds me, I'll be posting another Help Wanted ad in Vendor Announcement in the next few days. Jay's leaving me to go to school--great for him--bad for me.

Look at it this way, Richard... Being a horrible boss has driven a fine, young man toward a college degree. You've done him a great service.

[chows4us]I'm just waiting for tonight's thunderstorm. I think I'll just throw some soap on top of the roof and let the wind do its thing make the car all sudsy. Then a good downpour will rinse it off nicely.
I know you! When we come in to the office in the morning we have to beat the likes of you off our lawn when the auto sprinklers come on.

Thanks - But I have to admit I am a reforming 'once a year whether it needs it or not' washer. Since I have a car wash next door to my office I have graduated to about 1 or 2x /month. But with a dark exterior and light interior ( what was I thinkn') I should probably mend my ways.
Sooo I've been trolling here looking for some ideas I might actually stick with!
