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.

yeah you know - with this ever/rapidly changing market place - their name has held strong and stood the test of time - everything I've tried has exceeded expectations, which is rare.

I have the griots garage DA which is very similar to the PC. Basically have everything ready to go whenever I get motivated which may likely be after the heat dies down a bit. My latest was to buy a smaller backing plate and some 4” pads for areas that 5.5” is harder to use.

ok nice - I found an off brand that had excellent reviews - It came with three pads, carrying case and backing plate as well as a microfiber towel and a microfiber mitten - I'm very pleased with it - at least 'thus far' - I tested her out yesterday evening. Outstanding results on my quarter panel.

here it is:

Let's see a angled picture of the polished area. It should show nice contrast with the neighboring swirled door.

my phone camera is broke - I will def. send a pic as soon as i can - I will once I'm prepared to do the whole care - before/after. Sorry I can't yet. I'd love too - I really naturally enjoy this stuff - never knew I did, before.

one last note - I'm done with the auto car washing, that was the instigator of this whole issue - but it was just so convenient, working all the time.

I bought two buckets at lunch for my new soap.

Life is good guys, Life is good!

while I'm at it - would you rub Meguiar's soap atop Dolly Parton's tits?
