Detailing Questions

[drgordon13]

Just about to have to wash my 2011 SR5 for the first time and looking for a couple pieces of advice...
1. The dealer gave me a Sealant Cleaner (Vehicle shield protection) that is says to use twice a year. Is this stuff any good and is it worth doing?
2. I am looking for a good place to get microfiber towels and a something good to dry with as well...have one I got from Walmart by Microtex that I used on my Wranger and did pretty well but got soaked pretty easy, and don't want any scratches!
3. Anybody used the Adams cleaning products for the interior especially the cleaners and conditioners for the leather seats. Read about them on another thread and it seems like good stuff but is a bit expensive.
Thanks in advance

The white beast got claybarred and Zainio'd the first week. Its amazing how much crap can stick to the finish of an automobile before it gets to the dealers lot. Usually hand wash in the driveway but if i get lazy, I only use the rinse and final rinse mode at the carwash.......the detergents will strip the wax off and dry out all of the rubber and plastic trim. I thank the guys on the corvette forum for educating me! And yes, I take it off roading and not afraid to get it dirty either. I usually buy black vehicles......this is my first white one!!
