Rattlehead Regular Location: Melbourne Registered: May 2002	Re: what do you guys use to clean ur cars? Fri, 05 July 2002 00:02 I use Turtle Wax emerald car wash with wax in it. I think they are a load but my car comes out shinier anyway. Then I use Meguirs Quik Wax in between wax jobs. And if I'm too lazy to wash my car I use Meguirs Quik Detailer (Unless it's filthy) to clean my car. Good for fingerprints. I use big sponges and a leather chammy. I also use Meguirs ScratchX when needed. I also use Meguirs Endurance tyre shine thing which I reckon is CRAP! To wax the car I use Meguirs Yellow wax or whatever, professional something. I use Windex for windows. I use Degreaser for my wheels. There's also this acid thing which I had a bottle of which was AMAZING!!! For the interior I use a mini vac and ummm....damn, forgot! But it foams and u can rub it and it works really good. Thats for carpet...for plastics and rubber I use this thing similar to Amorall. To cut and polish my car, I use a detailer, coz my paint is black and I tried myself and it didn't come out as good. The stuff I used was the Meguirs range. If I washed the car and waxed it, it would have looked the same as me spending 2 days cutting, buffing, polishing, buffing, waxing, buffing...buff buff buff Anyways...I have also used lots of CRAPPY products. 1. Meguirs Gold glass car wash. This stuff SUX! Makes the paint TOTALLY DULL! Horrible stuff! I'll only use it if I run out of Turtle wax car wash. 2. Meguirs Gold class wax. This stuff is okay if u like that mirror finish. I don't like it, I like deep glossy, shiny finishes. This stuff makes ur car look reflective which is desirable to some. 3. Meguirs Endurance tyre shine. This stuff looks awesome.....for about 2 days! The second you drive anywhere thats dusty or u leave ur car outside for a night, ur tyres are nice and dull again. 4. Turtle Wax scratch remover. My car is black so I got a black pack...which has black liquid wax and a black wax chap stick kinda thing. Basically you rub the wax on the scratch and it helps hide it. What a load of shit!!! One application of ScratchX did more than 5 times going over with tis thing and putting the special black wax on it. 5. Wool mits to wash ur car. These suck and I have to get my car fully detailed to get rid of the swirls that it created from use of this thing! The bugger was the most expensive one too! Anyway, the swirls make the paint nice and shiny and u can see the pearl better, but swirls are swirls. HORRIBLE! ScratchX removes the swirls but I CBF going over the car especially when I'm booked in for a full detail on Monday. 6. Amorall sux! I use this thing which I forgot the name but it doesn't make ur car oily or look crap when ur car is in the sun. Amorall does something to the plastic where it looks like bubbles as though it makes each blob look good. Any part with no blob look dull??? I also have used Tutle Wax Emerald Wax. I like this stuff...it makes the paint nice and glossy. Kinda like the paint on the new Holdens. They have a rich texture. Also in the rain, it makes ur car look the nicest. Coz the water sit in bubbles which fly off the car when u drive. I also use Scotch gard or something, I leave it in the glovebox. Basically u go over ur interior with it and it collects all the dust. Good stuff!!! EDIT: I also use water before washing away. [Updated on: Fri, 05 July 2002 00:04] [Report message to a moderator]
