How's it look?
This was full wash usinig chemical guys citrus wash n gloss, clay, wash, polish(using menzernas), glalzed and sealed with the blackfire stuff, then waxed with blackfire midnight sun wax then the chemical guys XXX wax.

I also use the chemical guys synthetic detailer after each wash as well. Hot sunny days I wash it in my garage with the optimum no rinse then quick detail it.

holy crap thats a **** ton of products! lol

I use Dawn dish soap, Mothers clay bar, Collinite 845, and Meguiars Gold Class Carnuba Plus Premium Paste Wax, black magic tire gel on the tires. On the interior I use Turtle Wax T-363A Leather Cleaner & Conditioner on the seats, and those armorall wipes on everything else in there.

mothers or meguiars quick detailer is great on water spots.

I use just some mother car wash soap, but dry it with the spray on ICE wax as you dry. I use the clay bar twice a year and the ICE does the trick for the inbetween washes. I use the never dull for chrome, Turtle Trim Restore on all black plastic, rain x on all the windows, lexol leather cleaner, lexol leather protectent on the leather, windex on the inside windows.

-I have not found a tire shine that I like or a cleaner for the dash board... opinions please

-Also, my hands get dirty on a somewhat regular basis and its starting to show on the door where i rest my hand and push/pull to open the door. I used armerall cleaner on the door, but it seems to have trouble getting the hard spots...any other products that yall have used with good results.

I use "Surf City Garage dash cleaner" looks like the bottle below. Stuff works real good and no filmy and ugly glossy greasy mess from armor all.

The cockpit premium I linked above is good, I got both the gloss and non gloss. The pinacle tire stuff is good, so is the black magic stuff.
