Post Your Cleaning Materials!

[rebels]

This is for those of you who hand wash your car, and don't go to those power washers. Since hand washing it and such is much better for the paint, and I have a brand new paint job, I'm goign to see everyones methods.

What kind of polish do you use?

What kind of wax do you use?

What do you use to clean the insides of yoru windows (people with tint)?

What type of cloth do you use to dry off the car?

What kind of hand pad do you use to clean the car with?

What tire shine do you use?


This could be a sticky too, so people don't have to post asking which materials you use the most.

Re: Post Your Cleaning Materials!

If I remember correctly from over at HS you're going for some sort of white. I'd suggest a sealant rather than a carnauba. The primary gain of a carnauba wax is depth, which is hard to achieve with light colors. However, if there's any pearl in the paint it will make it pop more. Sealants will be longer lasting and give a more sharp, reflective finish.

This is as abbreviated of a list as possible, detailing is a disease.
