Washed up my car yesterday with DP's 4:1 and a Schmitt. Used the two bucket wash and worked pretty well.
Dried entire car with large Guzzler.

Wheels I used Megs Wheel Brightener. Just sprayed on and wiped off with an old MF. Worked awesome.

Tires got Megs Silicone Free Dressing

The inside of the fenders and bumpers that are tucked in the wheel wells got Megs Body Solvent. This stuff was GREAT.

Paint topped with AW and junior Cobra MF.

Windows got DP's Vision Glass Cleaner and Cobra glass towel.

Overall, I was really impressed with the wheel cleaner and body solvent. Definately a great choice.

DP's rinseless wash worked very well also, and I love the Guzzler.

Now I'm going to try some new interior products:
APC+ for cleaning, Meg's leather cleaner/conditioner on pass. seat and Pinnacle Leather conditioner on driver seat. Optimum Protectant for vinyl/dash.

All products I used are products I plan on using for my business.

Your car looks really nice. I've been using DP 4-in-1 this winter and have had nothing short of great results. Is that a For Sale sign in the window? I hope the oil spots on the driveway are not from your car.

I'm looking for something that gets better gas mileage, reliability, and insurance is a ton on my Mustang with me being only 20. The Stang has 62,000 miles on it and is an 01. Also at times, I wish I had a quieter car. I can't believe I said that. Mine has a full exhaust set up with LT's and is pretty loud, but sounds great. Also, a lot of little reasons.

The oil was a differential oil leak. Had to replace the seal. I actually have a 5.0 built differential in their right now.

You simple grow out of driving a car like that as a daily driver. I never thought I'd like an automatic till I got my truck!

We've had a week straight where the high was in the single digits. Was around -20 with wind chills and such.

Played with the other interior chemicals today.

APC+ was as expected and did a nice cleaning job.

Optimum Protectant was a nice surprise. Once applied with a MF pad, it basically absorbed right into the vinyl. Left a very matte finish which I wanted.

Megs leather cleaner/conditioner was used on the passenger side. Worked it in with a MF pad. About a dime size for the seat, and another dime size for the back of the seat. I thought it left a very nice smell.

Pinnacle Leather Conditioner on my side. Was a little more smooth? runny? hard to explain. Went on the exact same. Smell wasn't the best, but all but vanished rather quickly.
Both seats seemed to look better afterwords. The conditioners seemed to act as a glaze, filled in some very minor and small cracks in the leather. The finish on both was very matte, which IMO it should be for leather.
