What Do You Use?

My question for everyone is does anyone use a specific chrome cleaner or polish for any part of their car? Ex: The door handles, the body lining, added mods?

Just Curious to see if anyone uses a specific product and if so, is it good?

Sincerly,
Kev

Mercedes Benz recommends to use Armorol. It's better to get the wipies. You can use it on everything, the dash, the seats, wheels, calipers, tires, air filter, inside door handles, outside door handles, the stereo, navigation screen, sunroof, mirrors, windows, fuse box...It works great...

I also heard that there is a switch in the fuse box (in the trunk) that disengages the airbags. They easily come right out with a tap on the steering wheel. Clean them with the Armorol as well. This will cause the airbags to return to their original quality and strength, and it will also give your car an extra 15-25 hp.






























lol I dunno, I don't clean my car much haha.

I'd be REALLY scared of getting any kind of polish material on the chrome on my door handles b/c I'd be worried about scratching the paint.

BUT, for the exhaust pipes, I use Nevrdull or the American Racing Metal Polish (they're basically the same deal).

I use mothers product. The spray wax is good enough for a quick one after car wash. Once a while, I clay and wax the entire car with zaino.
