Yeah people who use zaino products always speak highly of them and recommend the products.

Thanks Old Hatch, I'm not familiar with Zaino so I like to get a little feedback before I try it

Fabvsix

I can't speak to an older vehicles as I've always applied ZAINO from "day one" as a brand new spanking car.....its NEVER seen a car wash of any kind....Hand washed and waxed exclusively with Zaino since day one....Also instruct the dealerships NEVER to wash my vehicles. Infact my 2007 MDX was shipped plastic wrapped from the factory....I mean business when it comes to my vehicles.....

bg24

Thanks Fabvsix, I am going to try some and I think I'll try the leather in a bottle too

Fabvsix

I've tried the Z leather cleaner....its OK....I still stand by LEXOL....I like an application that says "spray and wipe"........those that say wipe on....let dry then buff out .....just too much work for me at my age......so Lexol in the baby blue bottle is GUD......Z leather cleaning has a nice FAKE leather smell to it...Like I said "new vs. used" I can't comment on....If the interior has been neglected then get the "Lexol Cleaner" then the maintenance application...My seats are not dirty nor have they ever been dirty where it requires "Cleaner application"......hope this helps! Otherwise my fav Z's are:
Z6, Z7, Z5 and Grand Finale....Mequires tires stuff is also the best I've used...noting worse than dull tires with a clean vehicle....Like having a clean gold ring with a dirty diamond......nothings worse than that.....

Fabvsix

Wow.....for someone (me) who doesn't fequent this site much sure got alot of hits on this thread (799) to be exact......lots of peeps huh for an OLD TIMER......
Met a guy from Sacramento this past weekend. He's a honda gear head....so I took him to my garage and showed him the RL......his jaw dropped....he said it looked "brand spanking new".....when I told him the mileage he was speechless he said you should sell it....I said why? Its paid for 6 months after I bought it almost 7 years ago...he couldn't get over the fact it had just turned 7 years old..... Then he looked at my 2007 Acura MDX Sport/Ent and said you got the best of both worlds......I said you want to see my 2007 RDX? He said you are all set......

Fabvsix

Wow 909 hits on my posting here.....WOW
Happy Summer to all!

Bg24:
did you try the zaino products yet?

bg24

No I have not had a chance yet, but I did claybar the whole car, really came up nice, paint looks brighter and removed small rust particles that get into paint especially on white, really happy with results.

3.5RLv-tec?

I haven't use Zaino product yet, but I use Blackfire Wet Diamond sealant. Now my can is silky smooth!

Fabvsix

I've tried them all including blackfire....nothing stands up as well as Zaino....Bg24:
get the starter kit as it comes with the clay bar.....what are you waiting for?

3.5RLv-tec?

iTrader: (2)

Where did you get get the Zaino at? I'm still shopping around for the best price. Is it easy to put on and remove because Blackfire was really easy to remove.

Fabvsix

Easy to put on and easy to wipe off.....Zaino is NOT sold in your local shops, walmarts etc.....only at the Zaino shop at www.zainobros.com

Just added another coat of Zaino to the RL....I think this makes it 55.....

Fabvsix

The dent man came today and found several "dings" on my RL, like four so I had to add another coat of Zaino including a newer product I forgot I had...It was hard to wipe off however. I had to use Z6 to remove it. I prefer the original product lines...and you can use any Zaino product you want....so yesterday was garage tunes and cold beer which brings it to 56 coats of ZAINO

Fabvsix

Thanks to Tim for shipping quickly AC filters for my 3 Acura's. Today I was able to accomplish all three on my lunch break and condition each one with Wurth AC Conditioner. However the RL was a pain in the rear compared to the 07 MDX and RDX....

Fabvsix

AND WOW to reaching 1700+ viewers......:to ngue:

Fabvsix

1800 views and continues to climb......WOW....Nice R&R labor day weekend by the BBQ pit and my pool.....R&R dats it....no car stuff this weekend.....

Fabvsix

Added another coat of Z6 Saturday Took her out to the grocery store yesterday. While parking a man said "what year BMW" is that???? gotta LOVE the exclusive RL we have..... When I told him it was an Acura.....7 years old with a whopping 22k all original one owner blah blah blah he just stood there in silence......

ParaSurfer1979

I'd love more pic of your car. I've made a screen saver using all the pic of your car in "enhanced" for you.

Fabvsix

lets do the MDX as we did the RL and yes I'd be happy to send you more of the RL...anything specific you are looking for?

OLD_HATCH

I need some coats of wax. mine sleeps outside though so the elements are harsh.

Fabvsix

Old Hatch: remember WAX's main purpose is PROTECTION not just looks....If I can ride 3.0 miles per day on my bike for exercise to satisfy the doctor, hand wash and wax my vehicles at my age (51) you have no excuse....

ParaSurfer1979

I def will enhance your mdx pix. I have a file of every honda/acura model to do screen saver.let me know bro...

Fabvsix

ParaSurfer1979: Let it cool down a bit so I can wash & wax her. We were 96 degrees yesterday between 3-7 p.m. Not so cool in the mornings either. We are having August weather/temps in September while East coasters are posting temps in the 40's in the mornings.....Maybe Tahoe is having those temps but surely not us....I'm too old to wash/wax in these temps.... They claim its our "last" heat wave.....This Friday coming is officially the first day of FALL....GOODBYE summa....

Fabvsix

Added another coat of Zaino added Saturday, detailed her for my appointment tomorrow at my local Acura dealerhsip but due to the rain coming in this afternoon it was rescheduled for next week. I WILL NOT EXPOSE MY RL TO RAIN......

ParaSurfer1979

Where are my new pix to add to my collection of your car for my Acura screen saver sir? LOL

Fabvsix

patience is golden....

I finally broke down after 7 years and brought my baby (RL) to my dealership to perform the following:
Brake Fluid flush and inspection
Radiator Fluid flush
Tire Rotate and Balance
They will determine if the Transmission fluid needs changing or not

They put me in a Black/Ebony/Navi 2012 TL with 406 miles on the ODO...

First observations was Torque steer upon WOT entering the freeway. Also the ride is not nearly as smooth as my RL or MDX otherwise a nice vehicle. It is only front wheel drive also...I'm sure the SH-AWD model drives better and no torque steer...

they couldn't get over how clean the RL is.....when they saw the mileage their jaw dropped...LOL....waiting for the call to come get her back home....

Fabvsix

Total damage was $442.55
no need to change transmission fluid
No mention or pressure to change timing belt based on their draw dropped expression when they looked at the car, interior, engine bay, undercarriage and mileage YTD....they were cracked! They said it was cleaner than some of the new vehicles...LOL They gave me a brand new TL with under 400 miles on the ODO....nice ride....it was ready by the mid afternoon as they didn't want the vehicle in their possession...I was in total agreement too!

ParaSurfer1979

I'm still waiting on those pix bro...lol.

Fabvsix

I have not forgotten you! Now its gotten chilly willy out which may delay....right now she is wrapped up in the garage (Acura OEM car cover) until the rain clears out....

5thgen

Wait, you put a OEM Acura car cover on your RL even though it's in the garage too? Geez Louise

Fabvsix

Yes I do...I got large cats that roam....and often end up on the hood to rest...also it can be very windy here thus coating the RL with dust quickly esp. with all the illegals cutting lawns and blowing shit everywhere at all hours of the day,evening and morning.....when I say this RL is SPOTLESS ..... I mean just that.....

Fabvsix

So If I ever decide to sell it....that Kelly Blue book can be tossed in the ocean cause it means NOTHING to me......Hopefully this will be me....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMdi8NZUscY
