Got my Porter Cable today! Not that my sport needs it, but I have a few others that do . That was ordered Tuesday (USA) and delivered to my door today. Brilliant service. But looking for that 110v transformer now. I understand I would need one upto 1000watts (recommended by the Porter Cable suppliers) So ebay it is then

Looking at the prices as compared to the US site,
another case of rip off Britain!

Hi - as one of the partners of Advanced car Products, allow me to explain/defend this...

I've been using Zaino for years, always buying from the German distributor, who runs it as a very pert-time business, and there's no on-line ordering etc. We contacted Sal Zaino to see if we could start a UK distributorship. The answer initially was a flat 'no - we already have european distribution'. Anyway, suffice to say that we managed to persuade Sal eventually.

In the US, Sal sells direct to the public. There's no middle man and no layers of supply chain to add margins at every level. In other words, it's pretty cheap in the US. We then have to ship it in fairly large quantities (investment), stock it, run a website, run a company, etc etc etc. Oh, and make a profit if we can!

ideally, we'd like our margins to be much higher - they would be if we sold other brands, but Zaino is the best, and our aim was to being it to the UK, offer excellent customer service through a secure online shop and stock the full range.

We do offer 5% discounts to various forums - BMWCC is one of them, as is detailingworld.co.uk.

It's not any cheaper in the UK than buying from Germany or US, but then how could it be? 

Hopefully, you'll agree that far from 'rip-off Britian', a small company of enthusuasts have put our money where our mouths are and got the brilliant range of Zaino products into the UK.

Anything you can do to support us would be great - the more we sell, the better business case we can put to Sal and the better prices we can negotiate over time.

autopia are very very good

but be aware you are running the risk of it getting stopped by customs and them adding their duty

dial it into the equation so you know potential cost
