Simple Detailing Checklist
 

Got this checklist from NWP, its pretty much easily available products from vato-zone or walmart...eitherway its still wayyy better than using dish soap or drive thru car washes.

The original thread can be viewed at

Also here are some links I think are helpful: Detailing Handbook for the s2000, tips that can be used on all hondas
Autogeek.net Detailing University, great tips and how to's
Detailers Doman How to's, very good walk through's for complete details

Feel free to add other links or how to's....Enjoy

meguires is ok stuff but when i had paint to care about i used Zaino

agreed but IF you read the first sentence of my post itll explain why i c/p this over...

lol never heard of the VATO-ZONE......

I'm not understanding why you say to wash it again after waxing it...makes no sense...Anyways I wouldn't use any of that stuff on my car...
I use Adams Polishes products...Not any of that store crap...

^^Wow cause your so baller..lol

Adams is good stuff no doubt. Agreed about the detailing it, and then washing it?

Yeah..because I have more than a 2k car...

Thanks!

lmao. Man, they let anyone in here these days. This is a HONDA forum, not a forum for a Cav with a V8 in it!

Not everything at the store is crap homeboy. Again, I copied this thread over from nwp because ive heard/seen people wash their cars with a bucket and dawn. I think it would be beneficial to everyone if they went and bought some actual car wash soap and once in a while used some sort of compount/polsih/wax instead of leaving their paint venerable.

I too use some Adams stuff but mainly stick to Menzerna and victoria wax, not to mention i still use a lot of meguiars and some mothers stuff. just because its from autozone or walmart doesn't mean it doesnt work, it just means you have to work smarter and harder to achieve good results.

Thanks Home-Boy!

when i was doing clear bra in San diego I had one of my suppliers give me a sample back of adams. He wanted me to become and distributer for him. I was not very impressed with it.

no problem.
i think adams is hit and miss really. some of their stuff is great but not all of it. for example, their window cleaning solution sucks ass for its price but their buttery wax has given me great results. i just stick to menzerna just because ive always gotten good results no matter the product.

They just came out with a new Glass Cleaner...Works much better..

Simple Detailing Checklist
 

This is my first vehicle with a leather interior. Is it ok to do general dusting/cleaning with diluted Simple Green? Or do I have to always use a leather cleaner/conditioner? I usually give the interior pieces a wipe down everytime I vacuum to keep everything clean.

i would NOT use simple green on leather. over time the cleaning/degreaser in simple green will break down the leather and make it crack.
