Use a microfiber mitt to apply the soap, you can get one for $4 at Autozone. I have no idea about using sponges, if they are abrasive enough to scrub food off of dishes, I would rather not use it on my car. If you are really up against the wall, I suppose you could use a microfiber towel. The general rule I have learned, is use the least aggressive cleaning/polishing methods you can. I car with only a couple hundred miles will probably only need a wash, and a wax. Rubbing compound is for when you REALLY need to clean up the clearcoat. You can polish it if you really want to, you may or may not see a difference at all. I am not sure what "hand glaze" is. There is a lot of marketing in the detailing industry, try not to get suckered in to hype on the bottles. My opinion about interior detailing is about the same; use the least aggressive solution that cleans any problems. If your new car "needs" scotchgaurd to protect it, you need to ask why. With regular cleaning, the interior should last a long time without any fancy protections. It is not bad to be paranoid, but dealers and marketing will take advantage of that feeling. To apply any polish/compound/wax by hand, you can buy some microfiber application pads. They are different than normal towels, they should be soft and flat, as opposed to towels which have a lot of shag. Best bet? Go look up DRIVE CLEAN on youtube. I will find some of his better videos that cover alot of these issues. In the short run? Wash your car, clay if you really want to, then wax. e; Everyone will have different opinions, mine may or may not be right, you have to research a lot for yourself. blueblueblue fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Sep 17, 2013 |
