What do you use to clean your car?

[vipermike2002]

I was just wondering what you guys use to clean your car. I got a black car and its a pain to clean. You clean it and 10 min lader its dirty again!

I use.....

Turtle Wax Car Soap-wash car
Formula 2001- wheel cleaner
Miguires tire gel- tires <BEST STUFF EVER
Windex- Inside windows
Rainex- Outside windows
Amor All- inside
Zymol wax-wax car

I just bought that Mr Clean Auto Dry Car Wash stuff.... It works GOOD!

I probably spelled half this stuff wrong, but what do you use?

I like Meguiars wax. Its cheap and shines well. Zaino is the shit though.

That's really bad for your paint, because it pulls the protective wax layer off it and dries out the paint.

I use Turtle Wax Color Cure for the wax. The car is a 1g with the original paint so of course its not perfect. They color the wax so instead of getting into places and showing all the imperfections in the paint like most waxes this one hides them. Makes the car look like it actually has a somewhat decent paint job. I have used Meguires and Zymol, both gave good shine but made any blemishes stand out.

I also use that turtle wax color clure on my bumpers because there is alot of little chips on them and that stuff covers it up good.

Zymol Wax
Turtle Wax - Car Wash Fluid
Armor All - Interior
Purple Stuff (forgot name) - For rims
Windex + Newspaper - Windows

 

[unfamous k]

Gliptone=car wash
Windex=windows (use hard wax on outside windows, makes them easier to clean and is better than rainX)
Wax= Distinctive details or ardex
Black magic or gliptone tire shine
Purple Power= Wheels/all purpose
im a lil obsessed with detailing so a lot of stuff is private detail companies that i buy through work

Yup, about $5 at the Magic Wand. I stop in Lodi after work so it's blow-dried by the time I get home.

 

[EvolvingGST]

Exhuast: Mother's Aluminum Polish
Car Wash: Miguires
Wax: Miguires
Wheels: I keep changing it to see what looks better
Windows: I heard Invisible Glass is the best and is teh awesome... But I use Windex.

used zaino on my old truck it was black and never found a better shine, on my eclipse just use miguires, cheap and does good enough, color cure turtle wax is good for cars with blemishes b/c it usually hides them, but every wash u gotta wax or its gone thats why i used zaino, lasts a good 6 months+

heres 2 pics of my truck with zaino
this one my truck was actually dirty but with zaino from about 10 feet away it still shines, its some great stuff worth trying if u have a black car

Meguiars 3 step Cleaner Wax / Polish / Carnuba Wax
Meguiars Gold Car Was
Some Blue wheel polish / cleaner
Windex with Vinegar using newspaper (The Vinegar stuff doesn't streak at all)
Armor All / Black Magic Stuff whatever i have at the moment for the dash
Meguiars Tire Hot Shot Tireshine
Fantastic to clean the bottom of my cup holder (Damn Burger king cups!)

 

[ckozlgod]

why newspaper to clean windows?

Doesn't making it wet smear all the ink?

 

[Morel]

Well,

1st you use Windex with paper towels to get rid of DIRT dirt on the windows (I smoke, so it's needed And then use a little water and newspaper to polish it.

And no the ink doesnt' come off unless you really soak the paper. (Even then it usually doesn't)

You can really notice actually..

 

[wastefuldreamer]

Where do I get zaino?

 

[Skywalker18]

Only Zaino!!! The best stuff ever!!

Using armor all on you interior is bad. It dries the plastic and other peices out.

Use a interior cleaner. I have one that i get through mecedes benz and it works great. Dosent leave a greasy surface but it shines and claens. Good stuff, but the name is in german

I also use a mercedes brand car wash and wax. All german stuff, and it works GREAT.

Dawn Kitchen Soap, then Maguiers cleaners wax and windex for the windows
