Dashboard- 303
Leather/Vinyl- if they are seats I use Chemical guys Sprayable Leather, other pieces I just use diluted APC to clean them.
Polishing- Meguairs 205, Griots Fast Finishing, Sonax Product Line
Wax/Sealant- Collonite 845/915, Jescar Power Lock, Bead Maker
Tires- Chemical Guys VRP
Trim- VRP
This setup is my go to. Makes maintenance a 45 minute process with wheels and door jams included -
Dashboard - Soapy wooder to clean if needed, then 303 Protectant, otherwise I just use a duster to clean.
Leather/Vinyl seats - Diluted Simple Green and a magic eraser if the seats are looking shiny instead of nice and matte. If the seats have already been de-greased then Gliptone leather cleaner and microfiber towel. I stopped using conditioners, they don't do anything really for our painted leather seats, other than make them look shiny.
Clay bar - I think Meguiar's little kit which came with a quick detail spray for lube.
Cut - Meguiar's M105 with a wool cutting pad
Polish - 3M Finesse it II or Meguiar's M205 with a Chemical Guy's hex medium polishing pad (green), then a soft finishing pad (black)
Before Sealant/Wax - <20% strength Isopropyl Alcohol to clean off polish residue. Skip if I didn't polish.
Sealant - Klasse SG
Glass - Invisible Glass
Wheels - Meguiar's D14001 wheel brightener. Definitely only use outdoors, strong odors. Do not use on polished wheels. Followed by Klasse SG
Tires - Any random tire dressing that is on sale.
Black Plastics - Mother's Back to Black
Engine Bay - Soapy Wooder and some diluted Simple Green. Mother's Back to Black aggressively brushed on to plastics/rubbers.Comment
