 | Prima Mystique Concentrated Auto Wash
My Auto products of choice are those of the Prima Car Care brand, but really you can use any great quality auto shampoo.
|
 | Prima Hydro: Wax-As-You-Dry Spray, 16 oz
I use this while the car is still wet and get great results. I also use on the wheels to make my life a little easier during my once of month washes. Use sparingly. I try to mist it so that one spray covers the entire panel.
|
 | Prima Waffle Weave Drying Towel, 2-pack
Use a nice absorbent waffle weave towel to dry your car.
|
 | Procter & Gamble #40509 Swiffer Duster Starter
Buy new: $8.80 I have allergies so I dust my interiors when I vacuum the car (Weekly to semi monthly). I chose swiffer for the purposes of the list but any store brand duster will give you the same results at a better cost savings.
|
 | Prima Nero: Vinyl, Rubber & Plastic Dressing
I use this sparingly for the black trim on the car, the tires, and the dashboard. Not really a huge fan of how this looks on leatherette, but its a matter of preference.
|
 | Simple Green 13002 16oz All Purpose Cleaning Spray
Buy new: $3.99 I use a diluted mix of water/simple green to get brake dust off. I have factory rims, so there isn't a large chance of me damaging my rims. Make sure that you are able to use this if you have painted/coated/etc rims.
|
 | Prima Clarity Glass Cleaner
Buy new: $6.95 Let us not forget the windows. I use this with a glass cleaning microfiber for windows and a Stoner Invisible glass tool to clean the rest of the glass.
|
 | Meguiar's G13124 NXT Insane Shine Tire Spray
Buy new: $7.91 If the Nero isn't you cup of tea in terms of a matte finish, use this to get really shiny tires. Its a matter of preference. These tire dressings don't really last for eons so it really doesn't matter IMHO.
|
 | Meguiar's G1016 Smooth Surface Clay Kit
Buy new: $11.68 / Used from: $10.99 Okay, so for the detailing/wax part of program, use a clay kit to prep the car.
|
 | Prima Epic: Synthetic Wax & Protectant, 16 oz.
After using the clay, bust out with the Epic. Use the 1oz bottle for tiny cars. Remember its concentrated and not necessary to drown your car.
|
 | 1 oz. Plastic Bottle with Spout
Buy new: $1.25 I use these kind of bottles to help me determine how much product I need to use per wash. That's the beautiful thing about these products, they last because you don't have to marinate your car in them!
|
 | Bon-Aire Original Ultimate Hose Nozzle (Aluminum)
Buy new: $19.79 Durable hose nozzle. Has a good setting to "sheet" the water off your car prior to drying with a waffle weave towel.
|
 | Stoner 95161 Invisible Glass Reach and Clean Tool
Buy new: $17.21 / Used from: $15.99 I love this thing. I didn't realize how short my arms where until I tried to clean the rear glass and windshield inside of the car. Definitely worth the money. Helps you clean without putting strain on your back.
|
 | Gilmour 10 Series 8 Ply Flexogen Hose 1/2 inch x 50 Feet #10-12050 Green
Buy new: $21.35 I have no outdoor spigots, thus I have this hose going from my kitchen sink through the living room to the front door and outside. It is that good. No leaks at all via the faucet, hose, or hoze nozzle. A+ quality and a lifetime warranty.
