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.

I just have a cheap, short, collapsible stool. I'm mostly just bending down or will wear knee pads to get low.

I don't see any familiar channels on Youtube doing that, however there are a lot of vids on it - I can't vouch for any of the channels - but people are showing it done a lot.

Try some wheel cleaner that specifically says "don't use on painted surfaces." Spray it on and leave it for about an hour.

I was sitting here, thinking.

I wonder if you could just catch them on fire and walk away for several minutes?

Welcome - I've done my homework - but most of these guys are pretty knowledgeable.

I started a Google Doc with a list (and corresponding links) of things I think I'm going to try first. Sounds like Garry Dean's wash method (and detail juice) is a good place to start. Also going w/ Chemical Guys for interior leather.

I just got this exotic beauty (I collect 240Z's but always wanted this car) and am going to spend the weekend pulling seats, interior trim and shampooing carpets, and upholstery and pissing my SO off by using every paper towel, wet wipe, bottle and can of glass cleaner (and anything else I can find), including every q-tip in the house. Once the interior is done I am moving to the engine bay.

Has anyone found a dressing for old Naugahyde vinyl (Dash, door panels and seats) that doesn't destroy it down the road. I have been afraid since a bad experience..







More pictures later.
