Car Care and Detailing Thread
Others mentioned I should start this thread in my other thread. And while I won't have the new car for a while, I'd like to hear some thoughts and recommendations so I can have most of it on hand before the car shows up. My other thread had a lot of great posts in it and you guys have been a big help.

While black cars looks great clean, keeping it relatively clean in Phoenix might be the death of me. But I'll sure as shit give it my best shot.

I actually like cleaning and waxing our current cars but it's not like I am being meticulous about it. I've never had a car with rims either and I know those can get dirty quick. I've never owned a dark colored car and I've never had a car with leather. I plan to take really good care of this car and would like some tips on doing so. But I'm just a ****ing n00b.

I'll throw some links out from Amazon as I mention things.


Some of the things already on my list are:
1. Not sure if everyone recommends wool wash mitt over micorfiber here but many people I know do?
http://www.amazon.com/Mothers-Genuin...wool+wash+mitt

2. Grit guard and two wash buckets. One for rinse and one for soap/water.

http://www.amazon.com/Mothers-Genuin...wool+wash+mitt

3. Waffle Weave Drying towel. There are tons of towels out there but this seems to be able to take up a lot of water.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001Q8DMA0/...I21164SXVV1AWB

4. Car Wash

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009IQXFO/...b_recs_2_title


Some mention that after washing you should use a paint cleanser before waxing. But wondering if washing then clay baring is sufficient prior to wax?

I've seen this P21S Paintwork Cleanser mentioned on a few reads. Looks like good use for water spots and swirls prior to waxing if needed. Not sure if you would do entire car first or just use it for bad spots before waxing?

http://www.amazon.com/P21S-12350B-Pa...twork+Cleanser


Also, a company called Zaino has great reviews and recommendations. They have a package that looks like it includes all products I'd need together including wash, polish, wax, leather and tire care.

http://www.zainostore.com/mm5/mercha...y_Code=prokits



I do not have a polisher and would need to get one of those as well but not sure where to start on that front.



Can't wait to see what you guys have tried and recommend.

Got some time to mess around and actually drive the Mustang this weekend (kids own your ****ing life. Birth control).

Bought a Chemical Guys dressing product for plastics. Reasonably priced and by far the best I've seen on plastics. A decent shine without being the least bit wet or sticking (many attract tons of dust).

Not great photos but detailed some of my engine bay.

I’ve used quite a few of their products but never this. Glad I did though. Great stuff and was super easy to use.

So, does anyone else have one of the CR Spotless deionizer systems? It works great so far with my well water - I can now let my car air dry! It was somewhat expensive ($220 for the DI-120 medium capacity), but it's no more expensive than going over to the spray car wash and it's a lot more convenient. Best of all, I don't have to touch the car for drying and detailing anymore!

We'll see how long it lasts before I have to replace the resin. So far, I've done 6 washes and my PPM meter says 5. It's supposed to be good to go for anything below 20 PPM. We'll see.

Dad bought some deal like that a few years ago and thought it helped. But then some jackass broke it while trying to replumb a leak. Apparently he didn’t think it did a good enough job to get another one.

This was on a 2” line though so it was more money.

Dang! Didn't know about these.

Better than some clay putty then? Works just the same?
