you can use purlpe power to clean the pads.
WHEEL WAX is a great wheel wax. its about 15 bucks a tub.
megs car was is a good car shampoo.
as far as tire dressing any is good as long as you wipe down the tire after u put it on. let it dry befor you take off helps too

2. Either P21S Bodywork Shampoo or einszett Perls will do the trick.

3. A good sealant will do a great job on the wheels. We use Rejex and it can be used on your paint as well. Make sure to use a good wheel cleaner too.

4. I clean my pads with an interior cleaner...Autoglym. Spray the pads, rub the pads with your hands too loosen polish and allow product to soak in. Then rinse and dry.

This product does wonder for the upholstery, carpets, alcantara, etc.
Don't forget to use your mbworld discount code. Hope this helps.

1)-Good tire dressing that doesn't fly off the tires.
Tried a ton of different brands, but best I've found has got to be Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel. Matte finish that doesn't look greasy shiny. Doesn't sling at all.
2)-Car wash liquid that's not too expensive and can be used 2-3 times/week
2-3 times a week so I'm assuming you want a maintenance wash and not something to strip LSPs. Chemical Guys Maxi-Suds is a great shampoo for that.
3)-Is wheel wax the same as a regular car wax ? Any good brand ?
Wheels are exposed to harsher environmental conditions than regular paint so you want something more durable. Collinite 845 is regarded by pro detailers as one of the most durable and strongest waxes out there and pretty great for pricing. Use this on your wheels.
4)-How to clean the buffing pads ?
Hose it down to get whatever loose particles you can off, presoak in citrus degreaser (I use Zep), agitate with brush, then final clean with Snappy Pad Cleaner.

1)-Good tire dressing that doesn't fly off the tires. Megs hyper dressing diluted at 2:1 - you want a water based dressing
2)-Car wash liquid that's not too expensive and can be used 2-3 times/week Chemical guys maxi suds, or the new one called glossworkz
3)-Is wheel wax the same as a regular car wax ? Any good brand ? just use a sealant wax you already have, no wax really lasts as the brakes cook the wax pretty fast
4)-How to clean the buffing pads ? mixed reviews here, either washing machine, or in a bucket with an apc
Thanks
