Time to stock back up on the good stuff! Hope to have a treat coming late this week to play with, and none of the good products are sold around here.

Leather seats: going with Klasse Cleaner/ Protectant

Vinyl interior and tires: 303 Aerospace protectant

Carpet and convertible top: 303 Products Inc 303 Cleaner & Spot Remover 32 O Z Sprayer (and the above 303 Protectant)

Engine degreasing....couldn't find what I really wanted, so went with this...Meguiar's Super Degreaser Concentrate, 1 Gallon and hand pump spray bottle. Found it! Eimann Fabrik Engine Degreaser, got it ordered now instead. Not the citrus I had before though.
I think I've got some left over CD2 dressing, I heard they quit making it, which is too bad.
Used to have a citrus based degreaser that was incredible, but I don't think it's made any more. Been years since I've seen it.

3M Adhesive Remover for any decals, left over dealer stickers etc.

After that, Dawn wash, dry, then a farly aggressive 3M rubbing compound followed by Blackfire Polish and Finisher (if it's not too old). P21S top coat.
Doubt I'll clay bar now, there's a patch that needs a little bodywork.
Getting excited! Microfibers towels and shammy ready to go.


What's your recipe?

I can't wait to own another car that I love enough to actually care about detailing it.

I have engine degreaser, forget the brand, but works like a charm.

Clay bar always, and turtle wax when I have the time.

I have some Mother's spray on wax when i'm doing a quickie, but I love turtle wax.

I never ever wash my car. I get it rust checked once a year and they wash it for me

So what's the treat Raw, did I miss that part?

Hit the engine & accessible parts of the driveline with the 3000psi pressure washer at work, with 1/2 turn of the soap knob for the Purple Power. 1/4 turn for the exterior. Rinse with plain water. Shake out floormats and either brush out or vacuum the rest of the dirt. Wash windows inside & out with Windex. Realize I missed spots on the exterior after everything dries. Bam, it's detailed!

A friend of mine is selling us his '96 Miata, an M edition which is my favorite of the early body style. Fun to play around with and for the wife and I to take some weekend trips in. Naturally it turns rainy and cold this week! Hoping to get it shipped in a few days. Best Christmas present ever. LOL

The Eimann Fabrik isn't sold anymore, so I'll try out Griot's.

From Clay to Wax i use The Junkmans method and all Adams products
