I just got my stainless Roush axleback exhaust for my mustang in the mail. What is the best way to protect this from corossion/pitting? I know there is metal polish, but wondering if I would use a wax on it instead for better protection? Thoughts?

I have a 2012 mustang with Brick Red and Cashmere interior (see avatar). I noticed the other day a faint black stain on the passenger seat and a few small grayish stains on the drivers seat. Since i bought the car, I have used Pinnacle Leather & Vinyl Cleaner and Pinnacle Leather Cleaner &...

good point. Maybe i will give him a call...

im just afraid as a daily driver its going to be a waste. Spend 400 dollars on a base level detail, then it rains and there it goes. Or here in atlanta where pollen coats everything like a blanket, i have to wash it myself and there goes that $400.

I did a quick search but there is only one thread from 2008. I have tried contacting HighEndDetail on the forums here a couple times but he must be really busy because he never really got back to me. i also know of Atlanta Car Detailing | Peach State Detail but he is really really expensive...

Thanks for the tips. I am looking at several from covercraft that look nice, but boy are they pricey!

I am sick and tired of coming out of work every day to see bird crap burning its way through my precious black paint. I have decided to just put a cover on the car while at work. I had one years ago for my fox body for winter storage. Thing was like canvas, and a real pain in the ass. Anyone...

thanks everyone!

I am still too nervous to do a full rinse-less wash. Is it ok to rinse off the car before using ONR? I would still be using half the water because there would be no rinsing afterwards...

Thanks Nick.

bump?

This specifically references rubber and vinyl but is it ok for hard plastic trim in the vehicle?

Great idea. Terribly overcast today but I will as soon as the sun is out again, hopefully tomorrow.

Of definitely. I had been lurking here looking for a detailer in Atlanta. I've read that Ed with HighEndDetail is a great choice, as well as Bryan of Peach State Detail. I sent Ed a PM so hopefully he'll get back to me. I couldn't tell if he has a website though...

Yea I think that is where I am going to start. Have the car professionally done, and then learn the proper techniques to maintain and eventually feeling comfortable enough to do it all myself.

Thanks so much for the tips and tricks. Side question. The pads, and microfiber cloths get pretty dirty after you use them. Are they ever washed or only used once or maybe only a few times and then discarded?

This helps a lot thanks. What exactly is an all-in-one? What does LSP stand for? Any specific products you would recommend for a black car?

So Looking at this 5 step process, is my understanding correct: 1) Wash - Car wash soap 2) Clean - Clay bar? Cleansing polish? 3) Polish - swirl remover, polish 4) Protect - Wax? Paint Selant? 5) Maintain - Quick detailers

Yea water-less washes kind of freak me out, but I had read some good things about the product.

You are right. I guess I should say that I am not opposed to spending money and buying power tools, i am just afraid of spending the money and having it be a waste because I just won't get the hang of it or whatever. This is actually what I was thinking of doing. Taking it to a local detailer...
