Detailing

Post by Havoc »

One thing that I love to do is detailing. I wanted to see what products and methods you guys use to keep your cars looking great.

I use Mothers claybar (once in the spring and once in the fall)
Then I put a good coat of Mothers Carnuba wax for that clean look.
After a couple of hours I buff it down with a coat of liquid glass polish.

Also what do you use to preserve your seats? I have a really good set of Recaro's and I want to keep them that way (not Leather).

Oh and one more thing my wheels, what do you guys use to keep the break dust out of them? With these wheels (white BBS I think) it is a pain in the rear to keep them clean.

I have never really cleaned my seats, as I use PLEDGE spray on them 4 X @ year, and that creates a buffer zone between the leather & dirt. Dirt wipes off with a warm paper towel(VIVA).

Wax? I use execlusivly Souverne by Pinnacle. The Best, but like $92.00 or so.
The wheels I used soap & water. ("#7" Soap)

DuPont recently came out with a wheel cleaner that claims to help keep the wheels clean. I have been using it, and honestly the wheels seem to stay cleaner for longer...
