I like gtechniq c4 lasted about 2 years for me.

I think I'm going to try using a steam cleaner then using a fabric protectant. Any recommendations for fabric protectants?

I've looked at their "textile care kit" and its ~$40 plus shipping online and ~$60 at the stealership. It would be a good idea to contact the dealer and see what they recommend other than their kit.

Thanks for this. I've actually been looking at the hd interior protect for awhile. I'll give it a shot.

no it's much different. not as "fuzzy" or soft. This is closer to a performance soft-shell jacket. Maybe I'll try using the same stuff I use on my ski jacket lol.

I actually do have some lexol (I use it for my shoes haha). There isn't any leather in my car.

I think its watermarks. It leaves the material a darker color after cleaning and wiping dry. It doesn't stain it or change the color, it just looks darker like water was spilled there. This is even weeks after it's been cleaned.

I haven't tried that. My thought was that if a lightly diluted left discoloration then a heavily diluted would be worse...

I've tried mild soap/water, diluted APC and chemical guys lightening fast stain remover diluted 20:1. All of these were tried in tests spots that are not readily visible and left behind water marks and slight discoloration. Even straight water leaves behind discoloration! I haven't tried any...

I'm going to be doing a spring cleaning on my Volvo. The materials that Volvo used are peculiar, particularly the seats and dashboard. I'm not sure how to go about cleaning these and I'm hoping you can help. Seats: Fabric is called "T-Tec". They aren't upholstery and are smooth to the touch...

What I used: Ceriglass glass polish Carpro rayon pad Polisher (Rotary would be ideal, more later) I used a porter cable Microfiber towels Atomizer Mister Clay IPA Clay lube of choice Window cleaner Tape Dust mask I started with setting my expectations. I knew I...

5.5" hex pads. Next time I get pads I'm going to try the plain flat ones. You guys aren't bringing me down! I've just always considered the m105/m205 combo the gold standard of polishing. I'm excited to learn more about compounds/polishes so please chime in.

Yea I suppose that was a bit of an overstatement especially with my limited experience. What would you consider the gold standard?

Thanks everyone. I'll do a writeup then! I'm setting my time limit at around 4 hours. If that doesn't finish it I'm going to stop and wait until I can use a rotary. It's crazy to think that a razor wont scratch glass... but over time a bad wiper will!

I guess I've always assumed it's the gold standard because of the availability, price and flexibility of the product. I've only ever used wolfgang swirl remover 3.0, m205 and some chemical guys polishes in the past so I guess this was my first time with a heavy cutting compound. Possibly an...

Going to begin this next week. Anyone care for a writeup?

Really? I feel like I can never get them to look "wet" unlike dark cars.

Thank you! Honestly, it's not that great and I wouldn't recommend it. Doesn't last long and isn't "super" shine at all. The best for plastic trim is the gtechniq C4 I think.

Did my Mom's neglected 2007 Land Rover LR3. Pretty good for a one step + sealant! Could have gotten much better results with m205 second step but this was a chore as it was. Sorry if the pictures dont work well, white is hard to photograph! Materials: Meguiar's car shampoo Sonax wheel cleaner...

Thanks Mike, I didn't want to make a senseless post. I did my homework! Does clay aggressiveness matter on glass? I don't want to make more work for myself. When checking my work, can I just wipe the ceriglass right off or should I get it really wet first and then wipe off? I'd like to avoid...
