Talking Tips and Tricks

Hi, well what I'm about to post you may already know, but this is how I maintain my car. I start with the interior, I use Turtle Wax Interior shine and conditioning on the upholstery. Tip 1 DO NOT USE ARMOR ALL, it looks shiny at first but in time you'll notice your dash etc.. will start to fade, same thing goes for the leather seats, I use Eagle 1 leather conditioning for that. WOrks wonders. When you dress your tires, dont use that foam crap, cuz you'll always over spray and get it on your paint finish, I use No Touch wet finish and sponge it around the tires. What else... oh don't use any type of brush to wash your car with.. always use a sponge. And when trying to get debris and dust out of corners and cracks, I use a small painting brush and I brush the interior in those hard to reach places.

I avoid shining up my tires. You'll find that if you spray them with wesley's bleche white and scrub them down, they'll look a lot better and stay cleaner longer.

In hot dry weather, mist your interior (fabric seats, mats, carpets) with water. This alleviates static while vacuuming.......

You should use a wash mit instead of a sponge. Use the sponge for removing bugs & stuff.

If you dont have microfibers towels, GET SOME!!!!

When washing, polishing, etc. use a straight motion instead of circular.
