I just bought Meguiar tire cleaner I believe. hopefully that works in giving my tire treads a clean look then I will buff the sidewell.

Also says wheel cleaner? Idk about putting them on my chrome wheels.

I've never heard of a tire cleaner before, you bought a wheel cleaner. They're meant to be sprayed on your wheels not your tires to clean off brake dust and dirt. All the name brand products will be alloy and clearcoat safe so I wouldn't hesitate to use it.

Yeah, says Tire and wheel cleaner. guess to break down the dirt build-up in the treads and hose down with water?

not sure if this is the right place to ask but
what is the best product to use to wax&polish carbon fiber pars.?

In my opinion, you just can't go wrong with Dodo juice Supernatural. It's the best.

Where can I get a good foaming soap gun meant for washing cars? And what brand of gun would be a good investment?

 

[bigglezworth]

My method thus far:

Use "fire hose" attachment on my regular garden hose. I'll refill/replenish my car wash bucket as needed depending on how filthy car is
-Bring her out to driveway to rinse lightly
-Move back in garage to keep out of direct sunlight
-Begin wash, using light pressure with a cotton terry or microfiber cloth
-Bring her back in and use turtle wax wash using a microfiber cloth/cotton terry cloth. Get plenty of suds on said rag and start from the roof, working down panel by panel rinsing after each section is complete, washing every component of the cars.
-I skip scrubbing my plastic pieces on doors as I do not want to marr them.
-Very lightly clean your window visors, they marr very easily
-Alloys/Tires: I'll use a brake dust breaker, probably Griots brand from Pepboys, rinse them off then lightly wash with sudsy car wash.
-I do not use tire shine, I just scrub the tire sidewall well with sudsy soap on a rag
-Rinse, rinse, rinse
Time to dry
-I use 3 large microfiber drying cloths, use first cloth to completely remove all big water spots on car, wringing out towel in process, then toss it in the dryer
-Use remaining dry, clean microfiber cloths to dry your car to a shine
-Wax if needed (I use turtle wax)
-Touch up paint
-Admire your work

Yes, wax your headlights/taillights. No dont wax your glass or any plastic. I don't wax my hyperblack foglight housings idk why not I just dont. Should I?

Unless you can wash in the shade and when its cool the foam guns offer no benefit at all .. And the soap will dry on the car leaving residue . Tried it .. waste of time and money.

I didn't see it mentioned already but if it has I apologize for the repeat information. If anyone is looking for a good washing method look up the "Gary Dean" method on youtube. It's this professional car detailer who has a strict way and based off what people are doing with 2 bucket method it might save on time. Just another option for people to consider when maintaining their vehicle.

You clean the treads?

 

[kev604]

Now that is a hardcore detailer lol.

Just a heads up guys I recently clay barred my car and had some gunk stuck on to the paint that just wouldn't clay bar off so took some Goo Gone sprayed it onto a microfiber cloth and was able to get it all off.

 

[dmbspcbtwn]

I have used goo gone a couple times to remove dealer sticker adhesive residue with no issues. I always followed that up by wiping the area with IPA solution to remove the oily-ness left on the paint then a wash.

Thank youuuuuuu… never once have I used one of those things, washing your car is all about the proper steps and rhythm - all these videos out there of people spending 10 minutes and 10 dollars in soap ‘foaming’ their entire car up and then somehow magically it all stays on the surface and they then wash the entire car with a mitt/sponge and then rinse and dry and it looks like a team from Chemical Guys came out and cleaned your car to a ‘show ready shine’ 🙄

Gotta get that traction somehow

Used tire shine on the Si for the first time today - I love tire shine for sedans and Euro cars and even nice trucks - I have gotten away from it when it comes to Tuner cars but I got a low grade spray today just to add a bit of depth/color and I am actually quite pleased. And yes I know it is not 100% coverage, I wasn’t looking for that I just wanted a little sum sum na mean!? 😎
- side note it looks better in person (the whole car too 😆)
