I’m a big fan of Car Brite products. It’s been a while sine I’ve used them but when I was running a business I was using there stuff. Here’s what I remember: \*Diluted “White Lightning” is amazing on wheels \*Diluted “Purple Stuff” is a great cleaner/degreaser \*“Cherry Bomb” soap \*Clay bar for general cleaning of paint before buffing \*Buffing compounds the “Workout” line and “Crystal Shine” did well, I also liked 3M stuff. I’m sure there’s better out there as these aren’t terribly expensive, but I learned how to work with these and you’d never know the difference. \*A rag soaked in paint thinner works great for stains in fabric, as well as removing road tar and grime. \*An air hose, pressure washer, and a strong vacuum are essentials in my mind. \*I’m a fan of marine wax, can’t remember who makes this but it can be found locally at auto parts stores, Harbor Freight, etc. These are just random thoughts above…I should get back to work so that’s it for now. ---

Washing: Depends on the day. Any good car wash soap is fine. Wax: I really like p21s if i am going for looks over durability. For durability use a synthetic with a good wax over the top Polish: Haven’t done this in a while, but i loved the poorboys, meguairs dacp, and menzerna products Glaze: bah just oil it up with peanut butter. Glaze is only if you aren’t going to wax it and have it in a car show imho. I could ramble on the topic of glaze for ever, but I use #7 Carpets: Warm water, minimal amount of woolite or a good APC heavily diluted. Products for this vary based on the dirtiness and the type of stains. Glass: Stoner invisible glass hands down Leather: Lexol Rims: A2Z cleaner and wax with colinite Tires: clean with A2Z, protect with 303 Aerospace Clay bar: clay magic blue Other: I will fill this in later. ---
