GREAT info here guys! I clean my car more than anyone in my neighborhood. I am "that guy". A clean car, inside and out, says a lot about a person IMO.
Last year it was microfiber towels to wash, white bath towels to dry. McGuire's NXT wash liquid, liquid wax, and quick detailer. Black Magic's tire gel, Eagle 1's window cleaner. Properly diluted Simple Green for the interior. McGuire's Gold Class tire and wheel brushes. Nu-finish Scratch Doctor. Craftsman Wet/Dry with detailing attachments.
All of that was on my silver '04 Impreza which, let's face it, hides a lot. This year I decided to take it to the next level for my black '06 Impreza. After doing some research on various websites and talking to some other Subie owners I've decided to go with the following:
Menzerna Auto Shampoo
Menzerna Final Polish II
Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze
Menzerna Full Molecular Jacket
Menzerna High Gloss Acrylic Shield
California Exterior duster and dash duster
303 Aerospace Cleaner
303 Aerospace Protectant
Classic Motoring's Best Microfiber Towel Kit
Classic Motoring's Big Blue II Drying Towel
Griots Garage Wheelwell brush
Wheel Wax
Wheel Wax's Tire Shine
Stoner's Invisible Glass
Can't wait until it all arrives and I get a nice weekend. Some good sites for more info:
