i use a mr clean sponge on the wheels and to get the bugs and shit off.

wolfs deironizer works great for any brake dust specs that wont come off.

nanofoam on a buffer instead of claybar last time, worked great.

3m and meguires when it comes to soap/buffing compound/wax/detailer spray/interior cleaner.

stoners invisible glass for the glass cleaner.

simple green for the engine bay if necessary.

Mr Clean Magic Erasers? Those are paint safe?

I use Megiuars Soap, Rubbing, Polishing and Wax stuff already and like it, actually my neighbor like a half hour showed me this new Megiuars syntheic wax he used, came out real nice.

For interior cleaner I have always just used diluted Simple Green and windows use the Castle streak proof foam style spray never had issues with them.

I need to invest in a polisher of go find my dads and liberate it from the depths of his garage.

That Leatherique stuff looks great but does carry a price tag, I had completely forgot about Sonax I used it on BMW it cut through brake dust easily.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Chemical Guys for Bug Tar  
Sonax for my Wheels, my MKS really doesn’t have a bad issue with brake dust like my other cars but this should help make cleaning real easy)
