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.

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 think if you were to stick with one brand for all products, Meg's is probably the way to go. I believe others, like myself, are more interested in mixing and matching. Other competitors are great at some things and not so good at others. Personally, I'd rather pick and choose my favorite (or best) product on a by-job basis. But overall, Meg's is quality stuff that's stood the test of time.

Thank you.

Two random questions:

1) I have two vehicles - one daily driver car and an older 4x4 pickup. Just got the car, don't plan on driving the pickup much anymore (except in the winter or when needed). What type of maintenance should I do on the pickup, i.e. how often should I start it up, etc.?

2) Any recommendations for getting a slight smoke smell out of a car (leather interior)?

Thank you x2.

Ever watch American Graffiti? One of the roadster hot rods. Close to 300hp on a 1200lb chassis instead of the usual 3500lb car. Also known as a rat rod and other names.

Not sure how often you plan on driving the truck, but it might be worth it to take the battery out just in case you have a parasitic electrical problem. Maybe invest in a trickle charger as well.

Ostensibly start with a Model T body, then remove the front and rear fenders, the hood and the top, then put a powerful engine in it.

The gang had one on the opening credits to Happy Days [though it was technically a Model T Pickup]

It's keeping all of the OE. Interior except for seats that I may bolt in. Keeping the car bone stock on the outside (excluding Drag Lite rims and 2+ tire upgrade.

The drivetrain upgrades will be stored just in case it become collectable in the future.

Don't let a certain poster near it, I think they matched on a dating site and he's posting that Sat night he will make his move. Your car must have swiped the wrong way by mistake. Same as most ....
