What products do you use to clean your Birds

[Chief Pontiac]

I have been using Meguiars products on everything since 1979.I even use their leather products on my T/A seats and never had any problems.

[1BADFIREHAWK]

I have always used meguiars as well but I ponied up a few bucks and got the zaino and man its AWSOME!! I will probably stick with the zaino. The leather in a bottle they make is amazing and make is smell like a new car. The wax makes a sweet shine that in my opinion was a little better than the meguiars but its a little more expensive. :D

What he said:cool: .

[Xerxes]

Zaino :D

[Dwarf Killer]

I generally use any Carnuba wax. I keep hearing so much about Zaino I think I'm going to try it.

[DrEvyl]

I have been using Zaino for a while, but I would like to try out Tropi-Care's stuff. They seem to be a very similar product...

[Chief Pontiac]

You know clean Birds get better gas millage.:D

[99 RED SILVER]

Zaino on the outside, Meguiars on the inside. Was thinking about trying Zaino on the inside when I run out of Meguiars.

[JR2002WS6]

Zaino... enough said

[Chief Pontiac]

Lasts WAY longer than meguires.


I started with meguires on my IROC and then when I bought my T/A I got the Zaino stuff after I heard the big craze about it. The stuff did an awsome job and lasts longer than I went between putting it on.

I'm yet to use Tropi-Care on my own vehicle but I have detailed other peoples cars with it and am IMPRESSED to say the least. It makes the paint look like you're looking INTO it not at it. I'll be doing my car with it as soon as I get some time. Was planning on doing it this week but got sick :(

[JoeJ]

zaino for now, thinking about tryin out tropi-care

if It's clean I just use some detailing spray and a towel. If it's a little dirty I use just some straight water and wipe everything down. It never gets dirty but once a year I pray on some simple green and let it soak for awhile then wash it up good. My pullies tend to get dirty from all the dust getting hot and burned on to them so I run the car for a few minutes till it's dry and then wipe it all down, hood included.

Two words.....simple green! Get the automotive one and put a garbage bag on the computer and spray it all over then wait a while and hose it off! It makes it look like new!!:D

[JoeJ]

i use CD2 degreaser spray and then the CD2 engine detailer

[02 TransAm_Ky]

Make that 4!!

Meguires "ROCKS"

[TheSilverSurfer]

Ok Bonnie:cool:

[Biffstupid]

I'm a Meguires guy, so now we are up to 5. I want to try Zaino and now this new tropi care but can't see spending the money when Meguires does a great job.

[Hurst_CE_TA]

Only Zaino On the CE. Meguires on the jimmy or pretty much anything on that.:p

[puckerth]

Another vote here for Zaino. That isn't to say it's better than everything else, just the best I've ever used.;)

[Hash Brown]

Tropi-care is MUCH better than everything else out there... and theres no way TC is that much more expensive then meguries... Hell my polish was only like $12.... thats nothing

[O1PewterWS6]

I used to use Meguiars but just this last weekend I have switched to Tropi Care, Tropi Care blows Meguiars out of the water, I Love it.

[Akuma]

I'm a Zymol wash and a meguires polish and wax man myself

[Gingerleah]

nuttin but Zaino ever

[SuperBuick]

Funny - you guys who are insisting on "only Zaino" or "only this that and the other" don't know what you're missing out on.

Start to finish on my car I use perhaps 6 different products, none of which, on their own, is going to attain perfection. Its a process not a product - my vote for some great products are menzerna polishes, blackfire sealant, and Pinnacle Souveran Wax.

[Chief Pontiac]

I guess what ever works and as long as you keep her clean is all that matters.

[AccomplishedXile]

[Marvin]

[Toolish Hawk]

[TheSilverSurfer]

I have to do mine yet, I just bought NXT to put on before the Florida road trip next week. I washed it with dawn and touch-up painted the stone chips last weekend, but the spark plug change and tune up took up alot of my Sunday (I'm sure the missing skin will grow back in time to burn it in Cocoa Beach). Used Meguires Gold in past and a clay bar rub once a year.
