Want to Zaino my car, but what should I buy?
Hey guys,
I've been wanting to completely detail my car for some time now. I really want to just take a weekend a completely clean the inside and outside of my entire car. I've heard a lot of good things about Zaino. I went on their website, but I have no idea what I should buy. I've owned the car for almost three years and I've never claybared it, so I think that would be a good idea to do. Is Zaino's clay bar good, or should I get another brand? Does their Z-5 Polish for Swirl Marks and Fine Scratches work? How about their Leather cleaners?
Should I just buy the Total Protection Show Car Kit?
Thanks,
-Nick

First question before considering Zaino: What condition is your paint in right now?
That is, how much swirling does it have, and does it have any oxidation at all? If it has anything other than very light and fine swirls you may wish to consider looking into methods of polishing your paint before looking too hard into Zaino.
Zaino is great if you have very good looking paint already, but if it could use some sprucing up, then it really can't help very much since Zaino doesn't sell any products actually capable of repairing anything or hiding more noticable defects. Z5 is designed to fill in swirls/light scratches, but there is a limit to its effectiveness.
Their clay and leather products both get very good reviews. Get them if you don't have these products already.
Claying is a highly recommended step because it removes the gritty contaminants from your paint and leaves it very smooth feeling.

The interior of my car needs a very deep cleaning. Tan leather, and tan interior in general is very tough to keep clean.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Considering that your paint is not in bad shape, you need something that is not too aggressive to remove the swirls.
Candidates would be:
Menzerna Final Polish
Einszett Metallic Polish
Meguiar's Swirl Mark Remover
3M Swirl Mark Remover for Dark Colored Cars
