I touch the leather up with there leather cleaner and conditioner every other month (their leather conditioner smells like leather, not chemically or fruity). I also hit the car up with the Z-6 Spray after washing it, helps keep dust from sticking to the car. I use simple green (much better for the environment and will not stain your driveway) to clean my rims from brake dust (not much of a problem now after putting on Hawk APS pads). I also really like the z-16 Tire gloss as it stays on for a long time and does not spin off the tires.

They have a kit that has everything you'll need to get started:

Get some good quality MF towels for the exterior, cotton diapers cut down work great for cleaning the dash and console (virtually lent free) and a white t-shirt followed by newspaper works best for the windows.

Hope this helps!!

I only use extremely soft MF towels with no stiching or labels on them. I only use them a hand full of times and they are machine washed when I am finished. If I drop the towel, I get another one. If I do have a imperfection in the paint I have my friend (who is a pro detailer) come over and hit it with the buffer.

If you don't like Zaino then thats perfectly fine, I've just had nothing but positive experiences with it and it is very moderately priced when it comes to higher end detailing supplies.
