What's New...

In the MINI detailing world?I discovered NAM some time after I bought my 2003 MC, and it wasn't too long after discovering NAM that I placed my first order for Zaino.


I loved the Zaino shine and shared it with friends and other MINI owners. I even sacrificed my little finger on the altar of Zaino (there's a thread about that around here somewhere).


But then life got busier. I ran out of Zaino. And my little MINI is way overdue for a good detailing!

So before I buy anything, I thought I'd check in to see what's new in the MINI detailing world. Should I give the brothers Zaino a call, or is there something better, maybe easier to use or less expensive... but with that fantastic Zaino shine and durability?

BTW OctainGuy's black magic goop is already on the to-buy list.

Prima is real popular around here.

If you want something easy, Hydro is about as easy as it gets.

Yeah, Zaino is "yesterday". Today is Prima.

Actually, both are great, I'm sure. I've never used Zaino, personally. But I can vouch for the ease and effectiveness of Prima products.

Plenty of info to be found in this forum.

zaino 'yesterday' prima 'today' , griot's is tomorrow.




i use Griot's PaintSealant and Hydro on my dd's. super easy to use
last a very long time. this is my solution for dd. the others are just too
time consuming or too environment restrained, or just plain clumsy to
use.

Yeah, ken, you know I love some Griot's stuff, too.

Speed Shine is probably the most often used detailing product in my cabinet. And their Waffle Weave drying towels are still tops, in my book.
