will do once i have some free time.
for now, autopia.org is an awesome site for car detailing fanatics.
edit: also want to hear tips on detailing the insides.
for me its as follows:
a) clean dash with nice microfibre cloth
b) use a fine brush (rabbit fur) to get into all the nooks and crannies
c) strip off all seat covers, and get in the seams to get rid of dust/sand/crap
d) pull all floor mats out and do a through vacuum
e) brush the seat rails, and apply some grease to the chair tracks/bolts
f) brush the door gaps and anywhere else i may have missed
Usually when the car is dirty its only a bit dusty or left over dirt from dried up rain.
Rinse car, high pressure house usually gets all the dirt off.
Two bucket method using merino wool mitt with zaino z7. Panel by panel top to bottom.
Dry off the car with a mircro fibre, dont like using a chamois, microfibre takes a while but oh well. wring it out every 5-10 seconds. lol
Every 2-4 weeks i'll wax it after with poorboys nattys blue.
Oh and since i park inside now the wax lasts longer since it isn't always in the sun. So usually 1-2 months i wax now.
Anyone here heard of ironx?
no, but i only have a garage for the 11 hottest hours of the day, during night, i must move the car out so my rents use it.
as a precaution i wax and wash more often than someone who has the privilege of their own garage.
im meticulous like that, im not happy till my car is a mirror
I've had my wax on for 5 weeks, it's not as smooth now but still good. It's always parked outside, with a cover on almost all the time. Haven't washed since. And my car is black. It's holding up but maybe I'm just not meticulous like you :p I've given up on being too particular about it. I take the cover off for 15 minutes and a layer of dust is already visible.
Anyone had experience with the meguiars smooth surface quik clay kit?
