Update: Zaino Leather conditioner and cleaner

After six months of testing the first and only Zaino products I have ever bought, I have come to my conclusion. The Zaino Z-9 leather cleaner is really weak and underwhelming. For only a meager 8 oz. of cleaner at $8.95 you are better off going to the store and buying some over the counter leather cleaner. Z-9 did not remove any stains better than Lexol or some store bought Meguiars leather cleaner and they are a lot cheaper. The only pro that I can think of is the smell is not offensive. I feel like they put some dishwasher soap and some water in a bottle and labelled it Z-9. Don't be fooled about the perfect 5.0 rating on their website, of course it is going to get the highest score.


Zaino Z-10 leather conditioner is a little bit better. I like the cinnamon smell and it does an average job of making the leather supple. However, like most leather conditioners it just sits on top of the leather and doesn't really penetrate and make it soft like leatherique or leather masters leather conditioner. The downside of course is that Z-10 gets all over your clothes and you smell like it.

My conclusion, don't waste your money on these overpriced products. They are expensive and come in insultingly small containers compared to the competitors. The name Zaino can only carry a product so far, the results are what matter and Z-10, and Z-9 are average at best. If you want the same performance go to your local auto store and pick up some Lexol, Meguiars, or Mothers.On a final note, I believe Zaino and Duragloss are the same product only relabeled. So if you want Zaino for cheap, buy the Duragloss equivalents.

Properautocare.com closing!

Properautocare.com is finally closing!

I am not surprised at all. In the past I have never received items and have had improper billing statements. In my opinion they were purposely not filling out orders in order to cut costs and try and raise profits. The last and final time I ordered they left out a couple of items. I called them, e-mailed them, and didn't get a reply back until three weeks later. They said they would ship it out and guess what? It never came.

I am glad they are closing because they are a shady company and consumers have gotten smart and shopped elsewhere. It they had done the right thing in the beginning I believe they wouldn't have gone out of business and I would have kept ordering from them.

Why League of Legends is unbalanced

I found this post on this thread and it sums up why Riot purposely has champions unbalanced.

"Gameplay imbalances."

The reason for these, is quite simply to make Riot money. Look at how many people buy brand new champions as soon as it's released. If they describe it as overpowered, and show it as overpowered, chances are, people want to buy them so they can dominate as well.

If there's anyone who hasn't watched the latest Kayle spotlight, go do so. Look at how powerful they make Kayle look late game to the regular eye. It makes it look like she is an awesome champion. Until you realize she's level 18, and the enemies are mostly level 13.
Take any of the champions into perspective. They make them sound awesome to begin with. Ever so amazing in all of the champion spotlights. Most of them turn out to be far from it.

It's all a big marketing ploy. All of it. Everything Riot does, is to get money towards their game. Although, many who don't look close enough won't see it.

I've already put enough money into this game, so I'm afraid to put this game to rest in my computer. Then I remember all of the disadvantages of playing this game, as listed in the original post."
                                                                                                           
and also
      
"In an interview, a riot employee said that that don't keep ever champ balanced because first of all, it makes it is more interesting. And also, because the op champs sell more, making riot money."

This is quite disappointing because Riot is more concerned about making money short-term and looking good on paper for Chinese investors rather than caring about long-term customer loyalty and value. In Spring of 2011 Riot was bought by the Chinese company Tencent, which explains why Riot is always releasing boring champions and skins, but not improving the game at all. Riot is just another greedy company that uses League of Legends to make money. Will Riot change to a video game company that cares about its customers and providing quality game play? I highly doubt it, they are too greedy and care more about Chinese investors more than anything else. I finally got sick of how Riot was running League of Legends that I haven't bought a champion or any skins for a very long time. Riot lost a customer and I hope more people would realize this and quit playing LoL.
