swapping summers on/zaino

Hey guys.. just about to do some summer maintenance.. wanted to ask some Canada specific questions

1) A good carjack to buy and where in Toronto I should look for one? Canadian Tire has some of course but is there a particular brand I should watch out for..

2) ZAINO? I know there's a place in Vaughan Mills that sells it, "The Barber Shop" or somesuch... is there a better place? And also any recommendations on which products to get for a Sedona Red car?

Thanks guys

I'm pretty sure Mike@n54tuning.com sells Zaino products. He's here on the forums or just email him at the above email.

I would just go and get the 3 ton jack combo at Costco. Had it for years and it works great.

Also, check out Princess Auto. They have regular deals on things like floor jacks and I picked up a good aluminum racing jack for a screaming price a few years ago.

http://www.zaino.ca. They are the authorized distributor of Zaino in Canada and are located in Guelph if you want to pick up from them. I just order online. If you want to buy from a place in the GTA, the Barbers Chair is your only option. They have locations at Vaughn Mills, Fairview Mall, Square One, and Yorkdale Mall. The only drawback with them is that if there is any issue with the product, they will not refund or exchange. It's final sale. If you buy from Mike at Zaino.ca he will take of any problems if arise.

Yeah I tried to get it from the Vaughan Mills location - sadly no dice there! They were sold out by the time I got there. I had to settle for buying some crappy Meguiar's stuff ... I'm gonna try again next weekend, I'm not happy with the quality of Meguiar's at all.

Similar note - where can I pick up something for convertible top care? Something like Ragg Topp... not for my car but for the dad's 96 Jag XJS. Would like to pick up something in store in the GTA - not mail order.
