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.

Can't use very much. If I have a microfiber towel that is damp with detailer, I use it without spraying. That or it could be you've got a Ford

I've read about using a heat gun and dry ice. Maybe ill give that a try next.

Anyone?
I can't say that I have done this myself but I have been told this works. Let the car sit out in the sun on a hot day, let it get really hot. Then place a ice cube on the dent and the dent will pop out.

Nope. Pickup.

There is a very significant difference between a pickup and a truck.

This is a pickup similar to what I drive, but mine has an air compressor, toolbox, and penetrometers in it.



This is a truck similar to what I drive sometimes.

Yeah, I'm operating in a different environment than you guys. I'm looking for Return on Assets for my sex wagon. I need something that won't break down on me and will haul what I need it to Haul. Even though it is an SLT (it's hard to find anything basic anymore. Nobody buys that shit anymore unless it has a V-6, which is pretty counter intuitive.) It doesn't have anything fancy that didn't come with the machine.

The reason I own it is because this winter, my old one was going to need more work than it was worth (to me), so I entered the market. It's a 2010 and it had 19,000 miles on it. I didn't figure I'd achieve a age/mileage combo that would run cheaper. Mine is strictly an economic utility decision. I didn't buy it because I liked it. In fact, I ran cars until I came back to farm.

You know I'm just ****ing with you right?

But that 10 year old muscle car comment was pretty low, even for you. I'm still reeling a bit from that shot.
