I use to use it on Vinyl inside the car like the dash pad and doors. Bad part is if you don't like the baby powder smell it will drive you crazy.

interesting... that one will go to my books, u never know!

Don't use it on tires it will speed up the dry rotting process.

How long do you let it dry?

Turbo Wax - Wax, Spray n Wax, Swirl remover, Pre Wax, Tire Shine
Meguires - Wax
Mothers - Clay bar, detailer
Windex - Glass Cleaner

I know I am missing others, but those are what I can think of off the top of my head.

You can use back to black on plastic parts (any color) to make it look new. When I clean my wheels and tires I use purple power degreaser and the dirt just melts off. Just don't leave it on too long (2-3 min or less) then scrub a little and rinse it off. I also use mothers chrome polish on my 24s. Invisible glass works great on windows. Leaves no streaks. If u don't have any a damp chamioe and a dry terry cloth works just as well. I like black magic foam tire shine for my tires. Just to name a few LOL.

How long do you let it dry?

i usually dry the rims and tires then apply the tire foam and let it dry while i dry the car or once i get it washed and everything and i know i wont drving inmediately ill apply, i have never timed it u know?

I used to work at a car wash and I loved it!! Experimented with alot of products.

^^^ what he said! :D

and dont forget always use microfiber cloth.

I will have to 2nd that Doyle!
Ultraluster is the ****! Especially now that I can find it when I need it!:smileup:

Okay Have to admit I went alittle over board on the products.
You would think I was going into the detail business I have so many products.

I think pretty much everything has been covered, but I make sure that I don't clean my tinted car windows with anything with ammonia.

I think I'll just use a good car wash and tire dressing for now. The interior I found Luxor cleaning and leather conditioner so I'll use that. I was looking over the body earlier today who ever prep it to paint did a poor job lots of scratches and dents nothing fixed properly before paint.

So I am thinking about taking a auto body paint course so I can do a paint job to my standards since I have a lot of free time I can really work the body out to near perfect.

anything that has McGuiars on it, I use.:smileup:

Zaino! :woohoo:

There I said it. Someone had to! Been using it for 12 years and the shine & durability speaks for it self. Big fan of the 303 Aerospace stuff to for exterior flat plastic parts.
