Ask Sal? Why bother? - DetailCity.org

Anthony A · 07-14-2006, 10:50 AM

Checking out the other forums I come across a rare posting by Sal Zaino himself. Some one commented on the similarity between a Zaino product and a Duragloss product. They assumed that they both contained a certain ingredient. Sal posted and assured everybody the Zaino product did not include this ingredient. When the poster informed Sal the the Zaino box did in fact say it contained the ingredient Sal had no idea that it did. His excuse was not doing his own proof reading.

Yeah I think I will phone Sal and ask if he manufacturers his own products. I think from his response he is not as close to the production of these products as some would have you believe. Here is the link to the thread Sal is post #14 http://www.detailersclub.com/forums/...?t=2654&page=2

That thread on the other DC was hilarious. I don't really think it's realistic to expect that Sal would know every word on the back of every box, but it was still funny when he didn't.

Anthony A · 07-14-2006, 11:07 AM

It's not that fact he didn't know every word on the box. I'm not unreasonable. It's the fact that this was a very specific ingredient and not one that you could consider common. It was listed on the Zaino box by mistake? Come on now. This is beyond a coincidence.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahh!!!!!

Hey, I love Zaino just as much as the next super-charged zealot but even I have to admit, that's some funny stuff!

How long has ZFX been on the market and some average Joe on the forums is finding things on the label that the owner didn't know about? Especially something that was preceeded by the word CAUTION.

Makes me want to question how much more information is not correct/hasn't been proof read.

I think Sal should call up the guys at Duragloss and give them He$$ for messing up the printing on his Duragloss I mean Zaino containers.

Now that's just wrong man. That's almost as bad as the truth biscuits who think Chemical Guys making everyone's stuff without having any proof.

Maybe we should start demanding MSDS and having secret sources do chemical analysis for us. LOL

Just in fun man. I don't know if Duragloss makes his stuff. The product that was being compared in the thread was a Duragloss product and they both listed the same ingredient that Sal claimed Zaino didn't have. Relax.

Why haven't you? I'm sure he'd be happy to talk with you.

I will if you provide me with a toll free number. The number listed under his signature on Deatilers Club does not appear to be toll free.

Cheapskate? The prices that guy charges for tiny containers and the cult he has paying up he should have a toll free number to call.

Well now, looks like he does. So now maybe you can take your conversation straight to the top and we can move on to other things here?

OK, Thanks for that I will call. I will ask him where his stuff is made. All I want to know is does he make his own stuff. I have no doubt that he will say he does.

Anthony A · 07-14-2006, 11:53 AM

Well I called the number provided and it is not reachable from Canada. I am assuming this is because we have to order from Zaino Canada. No use calling Zaino Canada because Sal isn't there. Any other Canadian can try the number provided to confirm this.

You Bet

Tell him that you are calling from Duragloss and want to speak to him in regards to his last PO that you received.

See what he says.

That would be funny!

jaybs02 · 07-14-2006, 11:57 AM

I hope that people have had their fun because there was something on the packaging that Sal said he was unaware of.

If someone wishes to contact Zaino about manufacturing, please feel free, but this isn't going to turn into a bashing or "XYZ makes this for such and such"
