The Official Car Care Thread

[rdeonarine]

what do you recommend if your car is in the hot sun all day and in the dew all night?

[rrotsmannick]

Try to wash it at least once a week. & at least once a month, wax the car with a good car wax.

[rrotsmannick]

Just giving u all an update. I finally got the Mothers Step 3. Nu Car in West Mall got. So i rushed down there & got a bottle.
So yesterday i did the 3 Step by Mothers. Car looks really good & shiny & clean!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Karim Khan]

Post some pics of the car !!!!

[rrotsmannick]

Ok excuse the quality of the pics, it was taken with my phone.
Did a big clean up on the car that day-
*Brushed out inside, wiped it down, used Armour All, hang up air freshner
*Washed car with Mothers Car Wash then dried it
*Used Mothers Step 1, 2 & 3 on paint
*Used Mothers Plastic Polish on headlights & rear lights
*Used Mothers Back To Black on exterior trim
*Used Mothers Chrome Polish on all chrome pieces
*Used Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish on rims
*Used Mothers Reflections Tire Care on Tires

Plenty work i know & it took alot of time but it was well worth it.

Mothers reflections. the paint on my car was bought with it already gone to hell and that wax really does wonders...

[ray d saint]

[Karim Khan]

Ray Post your pics man!!!

Pic of my stuff.



A few things are new and yet to be tested, but it will be happening soon.
Anyone else tried those Nano coatings Karim was talking about? Like the Cquartz I suppose? Wouldn't mind having a longer lasting sealant.

Nice collection, where do you get your autoglym stuff? Also looking for a sealant that will last awhile, a little concerned about using nano coatings for the long run.

[nemesis]

Most of the AG stuff I buy in Trini. Either Bhola's or Carplus.

[Karim Khan]

Nice collection Nemesis. Good to see you are using some high end stuff, HD wax, Miglore and Dodo Juice. Send me some detailing pics when you get chance !!!

[DVSTT]

No1 uses turtle wax ice?

[Karim Khan]

Here are some of mine pics of some products i use

[Chimera]

can't remember the last time i wash or polish or wax my car yes..and the car black lol

will probably wake up sunday morning and try a thing
probably.

[RICHFOREVER]

^^^ How that carbon fiber wrap project you have going coming along ?

[Chimera]

I rented out that car. hope the renter eh firetruck it up...i considering wrapping my present 16" rims in carbon fiber tho, can't change rims because I've been told it would void the warranty on vehicle

In for pics when you get a chance . looking for a motivational boost to try something along similar lines on my own

[Stephon.]

My dad has these, dunno how often he uses them, he has more stuff somewhere I just couldn't find them in the garage, probably scattered somewhere in a car trunk

http://i.imgur.com/CUyi1.jpg

He had another tire shine that he used before (came in a black can), I used to steal a spray from it from time to time which I thought worked better than this current shitty one that comes in this yellow can that's like half the size.

P.S - The scratch remover is mine

[nemesis]

Put on the Migliore wax today. Dat ting sticky dred. WHEYY. Still eh sure I got off all. Will sun it out tom if it doesn't rain and see how it looks after.
Goes on very easily. Less flake pop than the HDWax. Can't tell at what point to take it off though.

[supercharged turbo]

i understand both the liquid glass and autoglym are great products but which wud u guys recommend for a overall better shine.i searched all over to see which 1 was the better product but so far is 50-50

[nemesis]

I personally favor autoglym because even if it gives a similar finish to some other products, the AG are usually very easy to use. You'll probably have to end up trying both to see what you prefer.
We need a specific product review section.
Anyway, Dodo Juice Red Mist tropical on wheels = best thing ever.

Migliore looking good today. Lost it's stickyness, kept the oily look more than any other wax I've used. Looking great, but still attracting dust and smudges from fingers more than the average wax.
Major disadvantage - Can't seem to get the wax off the pads or cloth. Been through 2 hand washes, machine wash, different detergents, all kinda ting.. and it's still there. Might have to toss out pads and cloths after each use.

[eurotuner]

anybody knows where i can get this....



Been looking for that since like November :/

[Chemical]

Do you need to hose down with regular water first or just straight foam n rinse off?
