emergency... Who can help a fellow E90 poster?

aem kei · 06-24-2008, 11:01 AM

Hey guys!

I live in Belgium and it's impossible to get Zanio products here.
My paint on my E90 en my wife's Mini is absolutly TERRIBLE and it needs an emergency detailing afternoon.

Who can buy a zanio kit for me and ship it to Belgium?
Offcourse I will pay you the cost + shipping + commision...

We have a terrible problem with our cars paint and it's called: Flash-Rust

Do you guys know this problem?
It's caused by the electrical lines from trams in our city and it's eating all the paint away leaving a blue shade on the paint.
It also feels like (and i'm not exaggerating) like sandpaper.
Even our chrome and rubber suffers from it

They told me to use Oxaalacid, but i want to try something less agressive first...

Help a desperate Belgian E90 poster please

Thank you in advance!!!!

Most likely your car has contaminants on the surface of the paint, a way to get rid of these would be to clay the car. I recommend ordering from polished bliss uk, so you can save on shipping. Not sure if they carry zaino, but there are many alternative products you can use and get similar results from less steps. Here's their website:

They have European resellers, I had the same problem as you.

Called the guys in UK (http://www.advancedcarproducts.com) and they told me they could ship outside UK.

Also, check http://www.zaino.es (Spain) and http://www.viper-lifestyle.de (Germany). I am 100% sure at least one of them will ship to Belgium.

Good luck!

Sounds like your going to need more than zaino

aem kei · 06-26-2008, 08:32 AM

Yeah, i know...
But treating my car with that type of acid will set me back a whopping 200 euro's per car... (312 USD)

So i want to try all the Zanio stuff first...
