My Restoration and Detailing Chemicals

What do you recommend for interior fabrics?
I use the 713 cleaner diluted and my extractor. Tough stains I use Castrol Super Clean but you have to be weary of the vinyl/plastic because it can stain them.


Wow, I just discovered this thread. I would have thought this would go under the Maintenance section, but great job!
BTW, how about some advice on the cleaning tools you use? Toothbrush, paintbrush, makeup brush?

Thanks!
I only use a couple of brushes really. Good suggestion. I'll add those to the list when I get a chance to update.

Pat, on your 242 I cant help but notice the radiator and brackets, so shiny! I am able to polish theb rackets, but what did you do to get the top of the radiator so clean?
I found an almost new radiator at Pick N Pull. :-P
 
Just realized yesterday that when dealing with a 21 year old car with gunk stuck in the switches and various dash crevices, a plastic fork works wonders for digging it out. So the past two days I have had lunch in my car and dig crap out of the dash and console when I am finished eating. The thing is starting to look civilized again.
 
HERES my detailing and restoration tools and chemicals

I wanna share mine

Wow, I like! You should go on a road trip to our locales and demonstarte your products on our cars. That way you'd do the warehousing of all of those fantastic products and we'd enjoy the benefits. Might I suggest you start in the Tampa Bay area first since I suggested it? R.
 
I think Q-Bond might have aplace here?

Sprinkle pixie dust
Drip a unicorn tear in it
More pixie dust
Another unicorn tear
Repeat until done.
Plastic is fixed.

Less than 10 seconds to fix my leaking coolant bottle.

I was also leaning towards Pat Dickman, the most interesting detailer in the world. "I don't always detail my car, but when I do, people subscribe. Stay shiny my friends."
 
wow! 95-850 wagon, you put my giant box of detailing stuff to shame. But, I don't have a clue to what I am doing. I just sing my arms like an ape and buy what I knock over.

Not a huge fan of tire dressing. And I have 2 boxes of green tire tint (glitter) WTF!

The best way to find out how junky something is, is to post pics.

I'm using 3d products Final Touch detailer now. Love how slick Wizards was, but the shine is better with Final Touch.
