I like Meguires insterior spray detailer. I have used Armor all for years and swithched a year or two ago. The Meguires doesnt leave the interior with that greasy feeling.

in the summertime and dry time, I usually use cordless vacuum cleaner, it's enough to clean ground at weekly basis

I was having a look at some wax and detailer specifically for black cars the other day and was wondering if anyone could recommend anything?

Not specifically for black cars but have had extraordinary results with Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant, Wolfgang Fuzion Synthetic wax. Hit it with Meguiars M205 prior to and it's a recipe for brilliance.

Any recommendations for those with a permaplate voting on?

303 (30313-CSR) UV Protectant Spray for Vinyl, Plastic, Rubber, Fiberglass, Leather & More – Dust and Dirt Repellant - Non-Toxic, Matte Finish, 32 Fl. oz

This works really well for me when cleaning interior dash and door panels. There's a really slight shine, but it makes the color look deeper IMO. Also protects against UV!

Hey guys and gals. Just wanted to share this new Discovery. I was giving "Chef", my 4th gen 4runner, a bath. I was going to dry her off with my XL microfiber towel but I had an idea. I decided to use a leaf blower. Now I know, Im sure I looked strange doing so but the results were fantastic!

I had to learn the hard way that you shouldn't use a sponge with a sparkling clean clearcoat

How long should you wait to apply the first coat of wax.
I'm picking up a 2021 4R this week.
I hope.

I used to just use whatever was on sale at AutoZone, but my brother told me to try Chemical Guys and I was really impressed with the results. The amount of suds, scent and cleaning action was really nice.

It's a little less than $20 for a big jug of it on Amazon

It won’t let me make a post for some reason.

Very well laid out.
I’m waiting for summer weather to get out of this snow....

I also use vacuum cleaner as well as car wash (shampoo), cellulose sponge, chamois, polish, wax, terry towels and tire dressing. It is enough to make one cleaning per week to keep your car clean. And vacuum cleaner is good if your children like to eat something in your car or after playing in a sandbox to clean the crumbs or sand.

I feel like its a love-hate relationship man. I enjoy the process of cleaning the car, but the amount of time it takes vs. local car wash spots is just insane. Then God forbid the water drys too quickly on the windows, its like OCD mania.

I hear you! You may want to look into a deionizer. They aren’t terribly expensive. Use it for your final rinse and let it air dry and you have a spot free wash without drying by hand.

I highly recommend a clay bar treatment once a year if not twice, you will be amazed at the contaminants it pulls from the paint especially from what you believe is a really clean car! Just use a baggie over your hand and rub on the paint after a wash and if you feel grit it’s time for a clay bar.
