cleaning

I love my truck but now after 1 week it needs to cleaned what products do you guys suggest I bought this already

mr clean auto dry wash(hope it works)
magures glass cleaner and tire spray
armor all plastic cleaner (for the inside plastic trim)
never dull chrome cleaner (for the outside chrome)
armor all carpet cleaner
micro fiber cloths


I plan on buying some waxing product but I have zero experence in dealing with wax and what product to buy any quick lecture would be cool keep in mind my truck is black im no sure if that makes any difference???
thanx

I like (and have used for years) a wax product called NuFinish. It comes in an orange bottle. Just follow the directions on the bottle

Mr clean works great and I use magures gold wax

I use nothing but Meguires products, Gold class auto soap, claybar for set in oxidation (requires waxing or polishing after). I have also tried their new NX series wax. Seems to work good. I have put it on my new Magnum and have done part of my truck with it. Need another weekend to finish it. Also use Gold Class tire gel and foam applicator. I usually use Never Dull polish for the Chrome. I also use Wesleys bleach white spray for the white lettering on my tires.

Return the Armor All QUICKLY!!!!

Other than that you did well. I love my microfiber towels. It's amazing how much water the damn things can hold.

Yeah Armor All seems to stink both of my trucks up. It's like the heat bakes the smell and it just takes away the "new car smell." Out of all the chrome polishers I've used, plane jane Windex has worked the best.

ok so what about the inside plastic panels doors etc.... what would be good to use to keep it shiny and clean???

Black Magic Pro Shine Protectant

All I use on my plastics inside is a damp cloth to wipe the dust off.

Interior, Meguires Gold Class proctecting wipes all the way.

does it matter what color it is ?? mine is black

It shouldnt matter what color it is. and are you talking about the interior or exterior being black. Interior wipes are normally clear and with the wipes a little foamy but dry colorless.

Never use any product on the interior plastic or vinyl parts.

Plastics hold in a moisture content and products that you apply will dry and during the drying process will extract the natural moisture from the plastic and cause cracking.

I only use warm water and Pine Sol to clean the interior parts in all of my cars and truck.

Kenwood - here is a thread already dedicated to cleaning and polishing and appearance tricks for your truck. Lots of products mentioned and why to use them.

hey blender I checked out a bottle and it said it was a polish not a wax and do you only use it once a year???? and whats the difference between wax and polish????

You have got to get us a pic, Man!

Also for my interior plastic, I wash it with a warm 50/50 solution of pine sol and after it dries I cover all of the dash and other plastics with Black Magic Tire Wet or Armor All Tire Foam. Leaves a nice cherry smell too. Much better than regular dash stuff.

Meguiar's (get the spelling right, guys!) Gold Class paste is excellent. I also like Liquid Glass for chrome and polished metal, especially if you have alloy wheels.

I use NuFinish also and I have to say...Ill probably never use anything else. My camaro use to look a little pink because of the fading. Used this stuff and it brought it back to a deep red.

Heres a link to the pics of my car from my photo shoot. (I washed and waxed it that day..This was also the first time I used NuFinish)

I use to use Turtle Wax but, found after a short time that it would wear off and start to build up a residue. Now all I use is Simoniz Car Wax/Polish with Teflon. It lasts way longer and gives the vehicle a nice show room appearance. I know a lot of guys don't like Armor All but, it's all I use on my tires and mudflaps. As for Interior Windex Original on the windows and Armor All on the black accents. If you have a black dash don't use Armor All; it leaves too much of a sheen and when the sun is just right(wrong) you can't see very well out your window. I use it on my wife's Dash, which is black, and I'm thinking about going to something different as it is a bit hard to see out sometimes.
