Hey fellaz,


Thanks for the welcome. I just got done detailing the hell out of the interior and RainX'n all the windows (Fabreeze and Glade are my two best friends by the way lol). The leather looked pretty good until I cleaned it thoroughly with Meguire's "Gold Class Rich Leather Cleaner/Conditioner" and DAMN was that skin caked! Then I used Meguire's "Mist & Wipe Quik Interior Detailer" to go over all of the plastic interior. The best part about that stuff is, it doesn't leave that greasy shiny finish like ArmorAll products do. Sweet product.


Thanks StangGT804...they don't look as good close up...they are chipping here and there but they still look sweet as sin anyway. I'm not sure what kind they are, but I do remember seeing Cobras on the caps before the dealer switched them out to a different cobra design (because there was one cap missing so he order 4 new ones for me at my request).


Here's a list of all of the detailing products I bought from Auto Zone. I was hoping that some of you guys could give me your opinion as far as what to use when (ie, first use A, then B, then use C and before you use D put another coat of B on, etc). Now, maybe I went a little overboard on the Meguire products but they seem to be the best product on the market as far as quality and price go:

1. Meguire's "Deep Crystal Car Wash"
2. Meguire's "NXT Generation Tire Cleaner"
3. Meguire's "Gold Class Instant Wheel Cleaner"
4. Meguire's "Mist & Wipe Quik Interior Detailer"
5. Meguire's "Gold Class Rich Leather Cleaner/Conditioner"
6. Meguire's "Gold Class Rich Leather Wipes"
7. Meguire's "NXT Generation Tech Wax" (bottle, not shoe polish-like tin)
8. Meguire's "NXT Generation Spray Wax"
9. Meguire's "Deep Crystal System Paint Cleaner - Step 1"
10. Meguire's "Deep Crystal System Polish - Step 2"
11. Meguire's "Deep Crystal System Carnauba Wax - Step 3"
12. Meguire's "ScratchX - For scratch and swirl removal"
13. Meguire's "ColorX"

My main concern is, how much of this stuff I should apply. How many coats? Should I apply the Tech Wax BEFORE the Carnauba Wax? Is it safe to use the Spray Wax once a week, or will that effect the Carnauba Wax?

Thanks for all your help!

Matt

PS - Black may not be the ideal color for most, but when maintained properly I'd choose a black car over all the other colors any day. It's all about how much time and effort one is willing to put into keeping the car looking sharp. I also live in FL where it rains A LOTTA LOT! But winter is coming soon and FL winters are rather mellow (I'm used to 10" of snow in the winter where I used to live in upstate NY). I like not having to worry tooooo much about rust or getting pulled over because my tints are too dark (or my exhaust is too loud).
