Keeping your car clean?

[Tech Admin]

What products do you guys use to keep your car clean?

I have a ton of Armorall wipes for the interior and I live right down the street from a self serve car wash, but I'm looking to take it to the next level and make it feel like it was professionally cleaned.

What are you guys using?

Well, I stuck with armorall. The weather has been less than friendly so I don't want to break out all the new stuff. I got a bucket of car cleaning supplies for Christmas. I feel like if I don't use it soon the gifters will be insulted. Still, it's winter and it's been raining so...

So, what are you guys using? I cant be the only one who handles their own car cleaning.

You clean you car? Huh.

I will vacuum the dash, IC, buttons. I do have a special vacuum attachment that lets me vacuum right up to the base of the windscreen. Dust gets everywhere and starts to annoy me. And I wash the inside of the windscreen maybe 3-4 times/year. Vacuum the WeatherTech mats about monthly.

Other than that, it's drive-thru car wash and move on. I never clean it beyond that. And it's parked outdoors. I'm just not much of a cleaner, when it comes to my cars.

I detail my cars with a steam cleaner, shop vac, and a couple of detailing products that I buy in concentrated form. They may seem expensive, but in the long-run you save money by diluting the concentrate with your own water in an old spray bottle.

For interior cleaning, I use P&S Xpress (https://www.amazon.com/Detailing-Products-Xpress-Interior-Cleaner/dp/B07WRS7HT6). It not only works well, it smells great!

For interior protectant, I like Superior Aqua Gloss (https://www.amazon.com/Superior-Products-Aqua-Gloss-Gal/dp/B00C7XIVV8). Leaves a non-glossy, new car finish.
