Wheel Cleaner: Poorboys Spray & Rinse/ A2Z
Wax: NXT Paste Wax (never used it, but heard it was decent) or Optimum Wax?
This is for her white 2003 Celica with very hard to clean aftermarket wheels. Any help would be appreciated! |
Soap: Right on!
Water Magnet: Right on!
Detail Spray: I really like Adam's spray. It's plesant smelling and easy to use. She might like it because it's pink.
For the tires (if she has to have a spray) I would go with Hot Shine. I havent tried the aerosol version, but it has an adjustable cap on it to control how wide it sprays.
On the wheel cleaner, I would look for something that isnt too terribly harsh. I would hate to have spent good coin on a set of trick wheels and then use some acidic wheel cleaner and mess them up. I would get an assortment of brushes for her to effectively clean her wheels with a less acidic cleaner. You might want to remove and seal the wheels for her as well. If you go with something strong like Spray and Wipe....make sure you dilute it for her.
Wax: OCW is the bomb. It has pretty good durability, and it's easy to apply. Just dont use it in the sun, or you will curse the day you bought it.
The problem I find with Paste wax is that people (that aren't into detailing like an autopian) always want to put it on really thick. Before I knew what I was doing, I used to put it on thick so I would feel that I was getting protection.
For glass cleaner, I usually use Poorboys spray and wipe, and the hit the glass with either OCW or Castrol Accuvision. I like spray and wipe on glass almost as much as I like it on paint.
