Default Zaino in the PNW

Anyone know of a Zaino dealer in the Pacific Northwest??
I'm down in Seattle/Portland area every couple of months and was wondering where the best place to pick up.
The nearest Zaino dealer in Canada that I'm aware of is in Ontario.

Thanks all!

Years ago I met one of the local dealers that sold Zaino. I purchase some stuff from him but never used it. I think he lives(lived) in Sea-Tac, his name escapes my memory. Back in '03 he was watching the 350Z detailing forum, maybe he's still here?

I've had good success with Maguire's but wanted to try something else.
Thanks for the info!

I've always just ordered straight from Zaino... Maguires has always done a great job. EXCEPT for their tech wax... that stuff sucked on my black paint.

Zaino's good, but its not the end all of products. Try and find some Meg's #21 synthetic sealant, which can be occasionally be found at some Napas. I get 3-4 months of durability out of it, and top with duragloss aquawax, which can be found at carquest. You guys can see how it looks at the GG meet

That's the stuff. It was horrible on my black paint. It's the one and only Meguiar product I've ever not been happy with.

Thanks for all the great feedback!!
I've used Meguires Hi-tech yellow wax for a few years (#22 I think) and have only been moderately impressed with the final shine.
Was interested in trying something that would make the silverstone color dazzle.

I have recently come across Griot's products and have been really happy with them. They have a shop down in Tacoma off I-5, and a good online catalog.

2nd on griot's garage... I've bought a few detailing items from them in the past. Lots of great info there, and good products.
