Try autopia.org for help with the zaino and detailing products. Just do some searches there and you will probably find your answer or a suitable thread to respond to.

As far as storing the car. Hopefully the gas didn't get too skunky. I would run some techron through it. If you haven't been using the best gas you can buy in your area switch.

If the car is used, just change the oil and check the Ph of the coolant. Wait until the normal service mileage for the tranny and diff oils.

If the car is new, I like to swap fluids in both the diff and gearbox after 1500-2000 miles. I also like doing my first oil change around 1500 miles, again if the car is brand new.

Check your tire pressures before getting on the road, #1 safety detail overlooked by many.

Finally, get the car to the dealer if its still under warranty for a once over. My 04 has received the following under warranty, and these items are pretty much par for the course:

Cat
Venthilation TSB
Coils
Plugs
Latest Flash

If the coils, plugs or cat are bad, the performance really, really suffers. The latest flash made a big difference as well.
