What do you guys use to detail your car inside out? waxes, claybars, soap, leather conditioner, cloth seats, etc

Because my car parks outside, I have to wax it once a month with Zymol.
Between waxes, I only wash my car with water. No soap. I only use soap when I want to strip of old wax every 3-4 months. I'm pretty happy with the result on my 13 yo original paint on my Celica. Sample pic:  -------------------- _Gary

Zymol cleaner wax is ~$13 at Walmart.
I use clay bar once a year. Wax alone will not make any car look like that. You will need to clean it throughly. With your finger, it should feel like glass before waxing. And any quick waxing products NEVER touch my car. This post has been edited by Gary: Jan 22, 2007 - 10:46 PM -------------------- _Gary

Check out this thread on the Celica Club UK
http://www.celica-club.info/forum/index.php?showtopic=41804 The author of the thread has been known to spend 2 hours just detailing a bonnet so you can imagine how much time must go into the rest of the car!! -------------------- |
