Detailing Supplies

[Huddleston]

I've been using AMMO products for over a year and I love them. What does everyone else use to keep their cars looking great?

 

[Mark_888]

Mostly Meguiar's. If Walmart doesn't sell it, I usually won't buy it unless someone else has it on sale.

Detailed Image has everything an obsessive compulsive could want. I'm partial to Poorboy's World products for the outside and Leatherique for the inside. They have good videos and Q&As.

 

[Focusin]

Meguiar's Ultimate or Gold Class wash
Meguiar's Ultimate Polish/Liquid Wax
Lexol Cleaner/Conditioner
Invisible Glass
RainX

Am going to get some Mequiar's Auto Degreaser to replace the Lexol cleaner but will continue with the conditioner.

 

[Rloyola0426]

I use a lot of Meguiar's detailer line myself. Get most of my stuff from autogeek or auto detailing solutions. Been wanting to try stuff from chemical guys or poorboys but everything I have is gallon size and takes forever to finish. Maybe I should detail my cars more often.

I'm a big fan of the Chemical Guys products. They're priced reasonably, and available on Amazon with Prime shipping.

I love Ammo's (Larry) YouTube channel. I've learned a ton from him!

I use Lexol cleaner as well but this annoying guy swears by Meguiar's All Purpose:

i have the Megs all purpose but wanted to try something better... any liquid might get into the ventilated holes...

you like the lexol?

 

[Focusin]

I use the Lexol cleaner but as the annoying guy says, it has it's limitations.

If you keep the leather generally clean then Lexol is all you need but if you go long periods without, then the All Purpose diluted is probably better.

I would spray it into a cloth to apply rather than spraying directly.

Here's a video where a guy cleans perforated leather:

[Focusin]

I should add that Lexol is cleaner for actual leather so it tends to be gentler when cleaning.

Genesis leather like many others, is clearcoated so you're not actually cleaning the leather but the clearcoat instead so a stronger cleaner is okay when dealing with buildup like dye transfer from jeans etc...

so the Megs all purpose should be diluted? or is it already diluted?

 

[Focusin]

Yes, according to the annoying guy, the All Purpose should be diluted for interior use. He gives instructions in several of his videos.

 

[losboricua]

I uses:
Meguiar's Clay Bar
Wolfgang 3.0 Total Swirl Remove
Wolfgang 3.0 Fine Polish
Wolfgang 3.0 Sealant
Stoners Window Cleaner
Stoners Tire Shine
Meguiar's Interior Quick Detailer
Meguiar's Leather Wipes
Folex Carpet Cleaner(Great for taking salt stains out)


I'm looking at switching polishing compound. Do you guys really like Chemical Guys? I have been researching them along with Griots. Winter takes a huge beating on my car so I need to buy new stuff now.

 

[tmf2004]

Going to give that Stoners Tire Shine a try... ive been using the glass clear for about 5 years now and love it...
