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 already knew that. I didn't have a choice since that's the car he had.

My old man told me years ago there will always be more cars. They're not going to stop making them.

not like mine. At least that year, the first year of the 485hp. It has 4 options that make it the only one in the world.

Damn glad I got the color correction and sealant on the paint before I even drove the car. Drove it straight from the dealers off the truck with rail dust etc on it to get it done. A little self denial early is paying off. Still looks like it did when it rolled off the manufacturing line.

Don't ****ing sass me, bro!!!

Don't get me wrong, outside of taking care of black paint, I love the car. Bought it for a bit below blue book value, crazy low miles and $10k of modifications into the car as well. I'd never find a deal like that again if I tried.

You are....ummm....operating in a different plane of existence than I was when Dad gave me the advice. Or probably will be ever, honestly.

Eh, to each his own. I like having a decent vehicle. I do my best to keep it clean and take care of it (clean is....well, we will call it subjective in my line of work), but the fact is they wear out. Accordingly, I can't keep it forever, so finding "the deal of a lifetime" or whatever isn't really an objective. If I ever found the perfect car I'd just be pissed when I wore it out. So I can't think of them like that.

But if you are specifically at value, you have to include maintenance in the value calculation. Naturally, black paint is going to cost more to maintain than other colors that would hide dust a little better.

I'm not casting stones, just telling you how I see things. If you're happy that's all that matters.
