Cleaning / Maintenance Products
Just wondering.
What do you guys/gals use to clean your car with?
It would be much easier to bring it to a detail / car wash. But I find that they don't do such a good job sometimes and now I just want to do this myself since I have spare time.
Please list some recommendations for:
Exterior: Wash product? Wax? Tire dressing? Please list the product and brand and why it's good.
Interior: General Cleaning for dash and console. Leather clearner? Carpet Cleaner? Headliner cleaner? I am trying to achieve the out the dealership look. Meaning, no shine or minize shine. I noitce a lot of products out there are high gloss and oily. Which ends up attracting a lot of dust hard to remove later on.
Please let me know. I am afraid to just use random stuff which hasn't been tested.

car wash is car wash dude. I buy whatever costco has available.
I use mothers products for quick detailing and wax.
I use armor all extreme tire shine (the one with the applicator) it works well, and doesn't fly up all over your car.
Use a microfiber cloth to wipe off dust off interior parts, I don't use any dressing on my interior, it attracts too much dust.
