detailersdomain

but if you ordered and everything is stock it will go out.

we talked on the phone yesterday and had to paypal the order. it was for a few towels and the brush, iirc.

indirect thread jack: what's your opinion on Zaino products?

John?

I got a few orders over the phone yesterday.

... they have no useful polishes. Their tire dressing and leather cleaner are good (especially for maintaining matte finish on leather). Their detail spray stinks - try Adam's FTW. Car wash is OK, not better than Adam's. For serious correction &amp; PC work, you have to go with Menzerna. For true wax, I'm sure most of what Phil carries is superior (I don't think Zaino even makes true waxes). Wheel cleaner = P21S hands down winner. I find that building a good array of different mfr's products, and using different ones as the situation demands is the best approach (e.g., I use Vinylex only for a specific plastic part on my Q7, and nothing else, as it's hopelessly greasy). Also, what works on one brand of car or paint color may not always work best on others.
Phil is far and away the best for order fulfillment and customer service, so in a tie, I'd go with the products he carries.
