Need something to clean and wax my car
Hey guys,
What do You use to clean&wax your car, what about interior cleaning(I dont like shiny interiors and its cloth not leather)?
I cant wait for zainos(unless someone local has some for sale+clay bar), so it would have to be something I can buy in pep boys or other store.
Thanks,
Brad

From what I've seen/heard/read, Zaino is probably the best for exterior.
For leather, I use Meguiar's leather cleaner/conditioner. It's very good.
For plastic and vinyl, I've had great luck with STP Son-of-a-Gun.
I'm no expert in this area, but that's my .02.
If there's anything you need, I'm your NAPA hook-up!

303 Aerospace is the best for vinyl and rubber IMO, unlike most it does not have petroleum distillates so it is paint safe. (Also it is never greasy or shinny looking)
Napa also just signed a contract to carry it so it will be more widely available.
If I am going to wash and wax I used dawn blue soap to wash prior.
As far as wax or polish. I rarely do that enought to recommend anything.

You should be able to get a Meguiars or Mothers claybar and any local auto parts store. I really like Meguiars NXT paste wax and Meguiars Gold Class wash. Check out the wash and wax section, there is a lot of good info in there. Armor All works very well for interiors, apply it to a towel and wipe it on (this will keep the gloss down a bit). For my leather, I used Meguiars Gold Class Leather Wipes and was very impressed after I did a rub-down with a towel to buff some of the shine out. I've also been very happy with Raggtopp protectant for the top.

I use the 303 on the convertible top and carpet cleaner. So far I have had no complaints.
For the leather I found Zymol is nice. Plus I like the smell.
For the exterior there is products by P21S (body shampoo, carnuba) that have done nicley.
NOTE: I'm no pro, so my standards might be lower.

You want Zaino, I got bottles of that stuff for sale. I refuse to go back to it; it worked great but it was too tedious. Let me know if you're interested in my supply.
I'd suggest a lot. If you can wait until UBAB, I can show/tell you what I prefer to use for results and ease of use.
Otherwise, we can talk sometime this week, however, I am VERY busy taking stuff apart
