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.

Oh yeah. I know. I was just dicking with you guys too. It has just been a long time since I've heard;

"FORD POWER."

"FORD BLOWZ CHEVY RULZ."

"OVAL KICKS AZZ BOWTIE FOR QUEERZ."

I laughed pretty hard. Made my day.

Sweet - no i wasn't around, but I like her -There's a m235 in my complex - it's solid black. Love those little whips. But now I'm all about the M3 or M4. Very close to buying an M3 in Raleigh NC which was white w/ black trim - but they sold it to a walk-in when we were doing the deal over the phone - very hard to buy out of state - unless you simply make the trip first.

The dealer told me "in a few years we'll work on getting you in an M3," heh... I'll probably keep mine for a very long time though.

Hell, it's just another reason to find some open road for the M5. I found an M6 a few weeks ago in Overland Park... it was fun for a minute until he really got on it.

They're hogs on the freeway in 3rd - but from take off - the tuned 335 i had would get a nice lead I think.

I was finally able to get my car mobile detailed by Kim from Garry Dean detailing. Somehow we found time in between rain showers to finally Git-R-Done. Kim of course uses Garry Deans do no harm rinse free wash method.

Thanks man.

I live on the water. But, where I am no hurricane has ever hit the area directly. Only the outside edges of the storm or one that went into Miami and had traveled up over land and is not really a "hurricane" by the time it gets here. You could say we are due or lucky but there is an explanation, It's the way the storms are formed and the lay of the land mass thats kept them from a direct hit.

Bigger threat to my car is the afternoon pop up storms that last for 15 minutes or so but winds can get up to 50-60 mph that will blow shit into my car.

I realize it's different based on how much work the car needs but what's a price range for a full paint correction and a C-Quartz sealant?

I put the Opti-Gloss on earlier this year but there are already spots that you can see the water doing different things on it than just running right off like it used to. In a few spots the water just spreads out and when I blow dry the car, that spots are hard to remove the water from instead of it just sheeting off like it used to.

I'd consider Gary Deans product. It's way cheaper than C-Quartz. Still looks as good as when I bought it. Rain just beads off. No matter how much rain or how long, just beads off. Taken this week.

I'm not looking to do this myself and I don't think Gary Dean travels to Arizona. I found a company here that does good work and uses C-Quartz. Just wanting to know that when they shoot me a quote, that they are in the ballpark.

And **** that light colored green looks awesome....what I wouldn't give for anything but a black car.
