Hey guys. I am loving my new 07 GT CS but since it is fully loaded it is also a lot to take care of. I was wondering how you guys like to wash your cars (Exterior and Interior) and what products do you recommend for the best results. Tips on washing and waxing the outside would be appreciated and what you use on the inside to clean the dash and lether specifically. Thank you in advance for any help.

I use Armor All car wash with a sheepskin mit and one of those sponge-cloth things to dry with. For wax, I'm using 3M Perfect-it Showcar Liquid Wax (have to get it at auto paint supply stores or find it on the internet).

I use Meguiars NXT Car Wash concentrate for the wash, Meguiars Gold Class Liquid Wax and micro fiber towels. I also use Meguiars Hot Shine for the tires. That stuff is great!! It keeps the tires looking black for like 2 weeks without reapplication. Aside from the main stuff, I use Mother's Back to Black on the rubber seals and black trim like the mirrors and such. I also use Meguiars Leather Care wipes for my seats. So far, all these products have really worked out well for me and my paint is as smooth as glass. It feels almost like liquid

Anyhoo, hope this helps!!

I use the Zaino kit. It keeps the car clean too by repelling dirt.

+2 for Zaino (in summer). Winter I start with McGuires Paint Cleaner System and Professional Series wax and polish systems. Clay Bar spring and fall. Interior I keep it clean so no products usually needed.

One of the biggest problem I have is in MS. we have hard water. That means it has a high lime content. If you dont dry the car you get water spots. The red I have seems to really show them more than my daughters black. A good shammy is in order, no matter what brand of car wash you use.

I use Lucky Earth

Hey guys, I found and use LUCKY EARTH. It works great!

It is a waterless wash and wax product. I also use it on the inside dash and plastic in the vehicle.

I also use NO WET, its a similar product.

This website carries both products and A LOT more!
