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.

CAnt believe you were taking your BMW through a automatic car wash.

I don’t even take my shitty 12 year old daily driver Civic through one.

It’s literally quicker to handwash in driveway than drive to auto wash.

You’re an embarrassment SR!!!

What temperature do you wash microfiber towels on? Chemical Guys say on hot, Pan the Organizer says cold, Larry from AMMO says warm. What say you?

Depends on whats on them and you always need a good soak to float the crap out. I was told never to use hot and never have.

I find warm works best for my 3M towels and include an extra rinse.

What does your detergent need? It should say on the canister.

Never on hot. Always on cold.

Air dry, Never a dryer.

Been doing it that way for years and most of my microfiber towels are still in great shape.

We should all follow Larrry and also get a separate washer/dryer for just microfiber.

Larry is probably pulling a quarter of a million a year, though.

He’s always working on some super rare and badass cars like that Porsche above a as well. I’ve enjoyed his videos a lot over the years since they first turned up as part of the old /drive YouTube channel years back.

Wrong.


You don't wash microfiber. You use it once and throw it out. That would be cheaper than another washer.

This is what I do as well. There is supposed to be certain detergent to use but I haven’t seen any bad effects of using regular stuff for years.
