Car Care Product Recommendations
I thought it would be useful to have a general catch all thread for care care / cleaning product recommendations.
This is something i just found, that seems to work well at eliminating water spots at the last rinse: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I'm not sure how many washes I'll get out of it, but I put it between the hose and nozzle for my final rinse and did not that water spotting was significantly down. I am really hooked on Zaino Leather in a Bottle for my seats. It does a great job of conditioning without leaving residue or clogging up the ventilated seats. The leather cleaner is quite nice too. https://www.zainostore.com/product/Z-10.html I'm still using Sonax wheel cleaner, is that still the easiest, or has anything taken its place? |
I've gone through a shitload of those water filters while we were full time RV'ing. I didn't think they did anything toward deionization.
I'll have to give it a try. I am getting quotes right now for adding a whole home water filtration system. (maybe a softener too) it will be installed in the small room in the back of my garage (like the room Clyde just got rid of) I'm thinking of having an additional line run to the garage door area that I can filter with one of these And I want to thank the recent round of stimulus checks for making these home additions possible ;) |
I'll add Meguiars wheel brightener for trying to recondition yellowed wheels. It's aggressive so make sure you don't leave it on for more than the 30-45 allowed. You can then rinse and re-apply. But it does a hell of a job. And it's concentrated, so that gallon will make 5 gallons and you don't need a lot of it. That thing will last me a lifetime.

CarPro Clearcut is my favorite current heavy cut compound, superceding Meguiar's M105. Sonax Polymer Net Shield is an absolutely killer product for the lazy. Wipe on, wipe off, durable, flexible. Sonax Wheel Cleaner is still good, but all of my cars produce brake dust that requires physical effort. This really limits the benefit over soap. Iron-X is also still better for iron deposits on paint, although the Sonax works reasonably well for that. |

I use raggtopp cleaner & protectant 2-step for the boxster's top, only about once or twice a year; it seems sufficient as it's almost never parked out.

I've been watching a lot of detailer Youtube channels lately. I've found a few that I've been enjoying and learning (hopefully good stuff) from. Chicago Auto Pros kind of stands out for some really high quality content in terms of explaining what, how and why they're doing things as well as showing (and generally do a good job of speeding up the parts that should be sped up).
A few months ago, they applied 26 different coatings and ceramics to a less-than-perfect Lexus that's daily driven in Chicago to follow up with to see how well the products work and how long they last. Since it includes a Chicago winter, the comparison includes a pretty harsh environment. Application: Two weeks: One month: Three months: |
I should note that anyone in the midatlantic area should keep up on sealants/waxes BEFORE cicada season gets going.
