Car Cleaning Product Recommendation |
|
|
Okay, here is the million dollar question.
What car care products are the best to use? I need a plastic cleaner /
conditioner, leather cleaner and wax / polish.
I know all of the major companies advertise they have the best products, but
what to professionals use? Meguior, Armorall, Mothers?
Thanx

I like Mothers, and Meguior <sp?> products. If overall look is not as
important but life of the wax job is, then I use Nu-Finish (orange
bottle) as I've found it lasts much longer than anything else I have
tried (and I've tried them all!)
Armor-all... Some love it, some hate it. Once on, it *never* comes
off, so if you decide you don't like the look of shiny interior
plastic, you are stuck... Some say it damages the plastic--I've not
seen that, and have seen no firsthand examples, just FOAF ancidotal
stories.
I don't use Turtle Wax normally. Seems to last only a short time
(compared to NuFinish) and is more expensive overall (IMHO... <g>)
If you are into show, and not wear/lasting, either Mothers or Meguior
products are great for that.
Also if (only if!) you are into show, look into 3M glazing compound.
It will help remove swirl marks that have been rubbed into the finish.
Expensive, but it is the ultimate polishing compound. You do need to
wax after using it, however.

The Wax shop makes a good glase...
Meguires NTX liquid wax has been gaining some follers..

Good point! For some leather it works well, but other leather it can
be a problem. If you try it, test well in a non-visible area first to
make sure it doesn't discolor or otherwise cause a problem.
I used saddle soap on one car I had (a German high end sedan with
white lether seats) and the results were fantastic, looked very good,
and I was happy.

If you do try, take your time. By pacing yourself, where you start
and end on the leather will look consistant. Too many times, by the
time you get to the end, you are tired, and rush.
