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 got the MF Cutting pads ala carte - my polisher come w/ the polishing pad and soft wax pad - so i'll use those for the polishing and sealing - I'm stoked - I've really educated myself with the AMMO guy on Youtube. He's really good.

I have some holograming and some light damage from brush / electric car wash visits - I'm excited to correct. I'll get all of my stuff on Wednesday. I bought the masking tape and black protective gloves as well. should be a fun project. I may eventually start my own business, part time. (who knows?) I have a natural interest in this.

with all the new technology for products - Meguiars have held their own really well - it seems they're still very much respected by the pros who do this daily. Pretty neat.

Yeah, it seems great until you do it....because it takes for effing ever. No way would I put that much work into someone else's car.

I fully plan on 12 hours - two six hour shifts but it'll look great once I'm done.

I installed my start/stop button - so it's M colors. The back ring is M Blue and the start stop button is red. Looks good with the black matrix trim behind it.

Used my DA on my front quarter panel that came in the mail today - I used the Meg's microfiber cutting pad m105 then m205 and finally a spray sealant - at 70% effort as it looked to begin raining, and I was hurrying - it is now almost perfect - I feel once i put in a full day - I can get perfect finish. Those cutting pads do work son!

I need to correct some micro scratching in my paint but it’s way too hot right now to get motivated.
