The absolute best leather cleaner/conditioner is SwissVax. The kit is $125 bucks but it is definitely worth the money. Troy at Auto Obsessed posted up this video recently : http://www.autoobsessed.com/detailin...r-Cleaner.html. If anyone is looking for supplies, take a look at Auto Obsessed. I have purchased a pile of detailing supplies from numerous vendors over the years (eshine, Autogeek etc). Troy's prices are identical/cheaper in some cases and you don't have to pay duty and a pile for shipping. Troy will answer any questions and is not about up selling. Not sure if Natty can also bring in Einzsett or Sonax. They have some great products. 1Z Cockpit Premium is a fantastic interior cleaner for the dash trim etc and Sonax's wheel cleaner is hard to beat. It changes color to show you that is is reacting with iron particles from brake dust etc.
I really enjoy detailing. I've slowly converted to mainly using Adams detailing products, it's really good stuff. Here's a list of what I use.
Interior:
Dry microfiber on the dash
Bissel Green Machine for stubborn stains on cloth seats
Shop Vac for vaccuming.
I use a very small amount of tire shine for monster mats and wipe off all the excess so it's not slippery.(No touch works ok.)
Exterior:
Two bucket wash system with grit guards (Not pictured)
Adams car wash shampoo(Not pictured) Smells great and works well
Adams jumbo wash mitt (not shown) wicked soft, reduce chance of swirls
Adams Clay bar (In the mail) I used to use simoniz clay and it worked ok.
Adams Green wheel cleaner- Works really well and requires minimal scrubbing
Adams All purpose cleaner- I use this for the tires and wheel wells. (It's a basic degreaser but soap and water could do it.)
Waffle weave drying towel- This thing is an absolute sponge.
Turtle Wax Ice synthetic liquid polish- This works great and adds a good shine. Easy apply also
Auto Glym HD Wax- Sets up fairly quickly and adds good protection. Excellent water beading and lasts probably 5-10 washes.
Stoner Invisible Glass- Amazing glass cleaner that doesn't streak. I use green micro fiber window cleaner.
No touch tire shine- I usually wipe excess off the tires so it doesn't sling. Also works great for black trim.
Between washes:
Adams Waterless wash- Works awesome at removing light dust and when you can't do a proper wash.
Adams Detail spray- Adds a wicked shine and smells like strawberries .
Adams Quick sealant- I use this before long trips on the bumper, mirrors and hood.
Sets hard and lets the bugs slide right off with water.
For interior plastics, it's gotta be Aerospace 303. Nothing even comes close. For leather, I use Gliptone Liquid Leather, as does Rolls Royce. I use whatever claybar I can find on sale and usually Mother's wax. I think I'm going to splurge on some ridiculously expensive wax on autogeek.com this year.
