I see. If most things are coming off with windex and a towel, that's a good sign. I'd still recommend a little APC and a couple of brushes to physically agitate those stubborn areas, which you can then wipe clean.

Go to your local store and purchase a bottle of Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Wax (yellow Nissan GT-R on the front of the black bottle). It's a synthetic product (sealant) with decent durability (won't be an issue to something that won't have sun hitting it), and is quite slick. Mist and wipe around and you'll be good. Once done, you can use it after your normal washes to improve gloss, slickness, and protection as well.

Bump. Spring time is almost here. I am getting ancy!


Ordered up a Foamaster II to use this year for soaking. Got a HELL of a deal on it.

Just need to find a good shampoo to use with it.

Just talked to you about this, but for everyone else, I recommended:

Chemical Guys Citrus Wash & Clear
Chemical Guys Citrus Wash & Gloss
Optimum Car Wash

For use in a foam-gun.

I've had really good luck with Meguiar's Gold Class, but the best luck with Meg's NXT car shampoo. It foams like crazy and the smell alone is worth it. For $6/bottle, it's a steal.

Say you run into leather that looks like this.

In the past I have used the 1 to 10 woolite and water and a leather brush. What do you suggest for very soiled leather?
