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.

Someone hasn't been paying attention to the thread.

While I haven’t used on vinyl my got to for anything interior that’s not leather is 404 Aerospace protectant. It both preserves (including UV) and doesn’t leave a residue.

I just did a search exactly how it's typed out - hmm - I'll double check - I'd never heard of it.

I joined this thread years too late - but I see a lot of folks talking up some of the other manufacturers - that's fine, those are good too - but from top to bottom you can't deny Meguiars - they don't do anything bad - most all of the others are spotty on what they do well. So far that's my thoughts in my experience. I think the other small things i still need to procure will be Meg's too - such as tire gel.

I have been using Meguiars for many years now. Solid product.

Anybody here ever build a t-bucket? I've got the itch and I'm starting to gather pieces but if someone has done it before I'd gladly accept lessons learned so I don't have to re-invent the wheel. Going with ford products, 9" rear, C-6 transmission and a roller cam 5.0L out of a mustang. May build the frame myself but not sure. Still in the early stages.

I don't even know what is this "t-bucket" you speak is of and stuff


Is that like t-bagging someone, but while wearing an athletic cup?
