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 have not. I have an affinity for Angelwax products. Their paste "Drift" has been wonderful.

ok. I don't think it'd hurt the material - but not sure. Maybe don't if you don't feel good about it - it worked well on my leather. but it's not as old.

you should youtube HD Speed, before you buy compound and polish - I'm not sure the situation of your car - but apparently it's great for spider webbing.

I switched over to Mothers products from P21S products.

I bought the Mothers 3 step polish and wax last summer and put it on my 15 year old BMW. The 2 step polish took out a ton of minor scratches as well as oxidation marks. I am old school and believe in natural carnauba car wax and bought the California Gold in the cake/paste form not the bottle.

I was so impressed with those products this year I bought
Mothers 06410 Leather Wash Foaming Cleaner and Mothers 06310 Leather Cream Moisture-Rich Conditioner to clean and protect the leather.

It took it back to original. I ruined the back seat with some cheap products after my kids destroyed the back seat due to dirty soccer cleats and years of having baby seats back there. This restored it as good as it will get. I wish I knew about this stuff 10 years ago.

I bought this for vinyl kick plates but didn't need it as the above cleaner did the trick.
Mothers 06524 VLR VinylLeatherRubber Care

I do everything by hand, but I spend a couple weekends doing it. I did the Wife's SUV's outside and need to do the inside before the winter. It is only a couple years old and we want to keep it awhile.

Uli from Hofkemier? Motors turned me onto a leather restoration product called Leathertique and their Rejuvenator was the best stuff I have ever found for bringing old leather back to life. They also sell cleaner conditioners and redeye kits for touch ups to total recollect job.

You cover all the leather with a gel cream product and the press cling wrap into the cream. Park the car with a black blanket on the roof in direct sun for 1 or 2 days and the uncover, clean and condition.

This stuff will make cardboard leather supple again.


Here is a great "how to" article on how to restore nasty leather. I would never let mine get that bad but I used this as a guide for a bolster repair and restoration on a worn driver's seat on a 91 300 CE sportline with blonde alimony interior.

I only use Mothers clay and instant detailer, oddly enough. It's not bad - the Instant Detailer smells like cinnamon.

I tried out that Worx blower last weekend. Not perfect but gets it most of the way there and helps with the areas that annoyingly retain water and keep dripping.
