jbw55 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Unfortunately we can't wash our cars.....were in a big time drought (California) and under a 25% mandatory cutback on water usage so our only option is to take our rides to the car wash where they do a suck ass job so haven't been in the mood to just clean the inside. I like the Lexol and Mothers products and the micro fiber towels too..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeldfabNeil Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 A shop vac on the floors/Seats when it gets bad. If ime in a good mood I will even wipe down everything with a wet rag. Don't really polish anything. As far as washing the whole outside that doesn't really happen. I go over the windows an headlights/tailights at the gas station with the water an squeegee there. Girlfriend always complains my truck is dirty inside. I joke that the only time I ever got her in it was when she had a few to many drinks an couldn't drive home from a friends house.

jbw55 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Were on our fourth year of drought conditions and its one if not the worst I've ever seen.....and to top it off were having major fires up and down CA, north of us there is a fire that's burnt about 120 sq. miles and still burning, just insane!! There forcasting us having a El Nino type winter, good in one way because we need the water but the flooding that occures from a whole lot of rain in a short periond just makes for a terrible winter for many people. Anyway I say go buy more tools and enjoy life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 These are the products I use they're from the same place that provides the shop with all our buffing compounds/buffer pads and cleaning supply's. The pink soap is for washing the car that stuff is awesome one lil blob of it and it last for my whole truck the white one is tire armoral that stuff also last a long freakin time the little grey bottle is leather conditioner but I use it to clean the door panels and all plastic in the inside plus it smells great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondo1310 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 I'm a big fan of Megulars professional detailer products. I use the Megulars d101 all purpose cleaner mixed 10-1 on leather cloth headliner arm rest and door panels. Nothing works better in my opinion. Use the M12 vac to clean the crevices on seat. If that dose not work use a stiff brush or compressed air will get the job done. Spray and agitate Megulars cleaner and wipe clean Then you can use any leather conditioner to finish the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamianD Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Detailers Pride for the dash, door panels, etc. And Lexol leather cleaner and conditioner for the seats and steering wheel. Doesnt leave that super shinny and greasy left over feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamianD Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 And im a huge huge fan of Poorboys World Professional products. All my exterior sr's/polishes/waxes are poorboys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt leave that super shinny and greasy left over feel.Have to disagree on the Lexol cleaner is garbage. The "ph balance " dose nothing to clean mild to moderate dirt on leather. But I do like their conditioner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downshftking Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I use all meguiars products and detailing items for my car. I am to low to go to any car wash so I always clay bar and hand wash and wax,polish and clean my own car.

alexaescht Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I used to use Meguairs stuff for my cars but recently switched to an Australian car care company that make kickass products. They're called Bowden's Own, and IMO their stuff is better than anything from Megs that I've used and the price is similar, but I'm supporting jobs in my country and I just like the products more. The names they come up with for their products are hilarious too. Super Aussie. At the moment I've got their Auto Body Gel, Auto Body Wax, Auto Body Cleanser, Wheely Clean, Tyre Sheen, Leather Love, Leather Guard, Naked Glass, Vinyl Care and Fabra Cadabra (lol what a name!) as well as lots of microfibre towels and applicator pads for interior and exterior. Some other stuff they make with funny names include:Bugger Off bug remover The Drop Bear microfibre clothAgent Orange degreaserSnow Job snow foam cleanerFully Slick detailer sprayBig Softie microfibre towelsMuffy SpongeSuper Bloody Huge ChamoisDirty Deeds black microfibre towelsTheir stuff is good, but like even if it wasn't I'd buy it just because the names are hilarious. And it's pretty cool when you call their freecall number and the owner of the company answers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMack37 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I use Meguairs stuff but I've never really tried anything else. I just like what Barry(aka the most awkward man alive) has done for the car community so I want to support his business. Luckily, the stuff works very well.
