Again im new to the board, just to let you on some info. about my teg! Back when i got the new teg, im the 2nd owner about 3 years ago! Treated my car like !@#$%
Since now, receiving funds and just now starting to "fixed" it up; any cleaning tips in mind?

Again, my interior is so full of dust? Any "good" cleaning suggestions on cleaning your teg inside @ out?

Yesterday, i went to Wal-mart and bought some cleaning materials. Im trying to start all over and try to clean/detail my teg!

I've just know to realize that im into my car more than ever!

I heard a while back about cleaning your dashboard? Not to use "black-magic", "ammor-all" ( dont know how to spell ) It tends to crack?

Someone on the board said "simple-green" & water????
also 3-M refresher??? I cant find it ??? Anywhere else?

Any cleaning tips???

If all can post your "cleaning-secrets", I'll be well apprec.!

Thanks for the help!

 

i use meguairs natural shine.....also i used to use the 3M refresher but it attracted dust way too easily and the meguairs stuff isnt greasy nor does it make your dashborad shiny and ****, it looks nice like it did new from the factory and also doesnt attract very much dust at all allowing you to go longer between having to re-apply and dust the dashboard again....

 

Any cleaning materials for the interior THAT DOES NOT collect "dust-bunnies"??

amor-all, black-magic, 3-M refresher.............do they collect dust after use? also make the vinyl crack after time?

Im just reall concern w/ the interior??(dashboard) Once i've used armor-all and it collect dust afterwards like CRAZY?? Is there anyway to prevent this from happening???

Pls, any sugg.???

Thanks for the help guys!

 

get a wet cloth to wipe off all that Armol ***. then use the Meguirs natural shine on it.

 

Here's what I've been using:

Windows & glass - Armor All Glass Cleaner

Dash & vinyl - Treated Dust Cloth from Target...deep yellow and slightly oily/sticky followed by STP Son of a Gun Protectant, but it does collect quite a bit of dust and lint

Car Wash - Meguiar's Gold Class Shampoo (thick and never stops sudsing)

Polish - Meguiar's Step 2 Polish...I would use the stuff in the tan bottles, but it's $8/bottle and I don't love my car that much

Wax - Meguiar's Step 3 Wax...and I've also liked Zymol Cleaner Wax ($13/bottle) and Meguiar's Hi-Tech Yellow Wax ($10/bottle). The Zymol's doesn't last as long as the other two, but it's easy on-easy off type stuff.

Tires - Meguiar's

 

can I use the same stuff to clean my DB8? (silly me)

 

Well, i guess after school, im going to the store and check the Black-magic semi-gloss!
I guess 3M- refresher aint good, since it collects DUST like hell!
Exterior is fine for me, i know what to do, Its just when i drive, i would say 90% of
the time i leave my windows down, I'm thinking since dust, debris gets into my car, dust also accum. Since i've had the car, even though i'll clean every so often, dust....dust....dust... on the dashboard!!!!!!!! The prob. is dust!

You teg owners, wonder..(daymn its a lot of dust to take off)!!

Thanks guys,,, thanks alot....i'll be @ the stores and see what i can find!
Most likely im going to get the black-magic-semi-gloss!
I've bought some simple-green,,,, BUT I GUESS NO ONE mention about there experience w/ simplegreen on there dashboard & panels??

 

For the dash, I use Meguiar's rubber & vinyl cleaner. Afterwards, I use the brush accessory for my vacuum to get all the dust off. Looks really good for a couple of days. Dust will stick to your dash no matter what you use. All you can do is vacuum it up as much as you can.

 

VACCUUM it first!

Vacuum as much dirt up as you can. You can buy a little attachment kit for your vacuum to use specificly on car interiors.

Use nice soft attachments for the vinyl.

 

dont mix in too much simple green...or bad things will happen, that stuff is strong

 

One quick ? How do take out "hard-to-clean" water spots on the windows??

 

i heard u shouldn't wax in direct sunlight...this true? what happens if you do?
also, what's the diff between wax and polish?? do i need polish to protect the car? or is it just for looks?
