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.

Why would you use claybar / pp as a final step? It should be the first step after a wash, no?

Could be the final step to starting the process all over again.

Who said final step?

First step after a wash and always followed by a wax.

Not sure what you’re meaning? If you’ve never clayed a car, it’s defintely worth doing.

Nice - Keep me posted. Thinking it might help focus the power a bit and did see some talking about similar on a detailing forum. I have 2 panels done with polymer seallent and water seems to sheet better off those as you’d expect.

Yeah I think you were offline when I had mentioned I wanted to try to modify the opening - duct tape and cardboard came to mind. It's not the end of the world either way.

I saw something amusing on either autogeek or Autopia forums while researching these. Think someone was using parts from the Home Depot plumbing section.

if that thing can not become erratic while that extension is removed - it may be more powerful But the shortened air travel may just go wider and become even less effective - not sure until I try it.

If there's a will, there's a way.



SR, if you decide to take that end piece off of it, send it to me. I'll modify it for you somehow.

As you know, claying is never a final step.

I used detailing clay as a next step in the clay bar operation. I don't clay bar very often.

Idiot

Ya a DOHV w a blower, intake, exhaust, and injection mods is going to put out more HP than a NA SOHV yet 300+ HP isn't anything to sneeze in a 2400lb car.

I played with injection engines in the old Supra's but aged, the prices were way over the top.

I'd like to see that car
