I recently purchased a 2007 Toyota Yaris, black. This being my first car that cost over $3,000 I have the need to keep it looking nice. I have done some research but my head is spinning, I am not exactly sure where to start.
I was wondering if anyone could help me out?
I am planing on keeping my car till they have to tow it away. I don't need it to blind people as I go by, but I would like to keep it looking almost like new.
Here are my conditions:
1. Budget - I know I have to spend to get quality but I would like to keep from going off the deep end.
2. Location - I live in apartment in Florida. I don't have the ability to shield my car from the rain, and sometime finding a spot in the shade is difficult.
3. Time - I don't have the ability to spend a Saturday working on it every weekend.
From the research I have done here is what I have so far.
Interior:
DP Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner
DP Interior Surface Protectant
DP Interior Cleaner
Exterior
DP Auto Bath Shampoo
DP Krystal Vision Clean Glass
Poorboy's Bug Squash
DP Universal Detailing Clay
What would the best sealant that doesn't have to sit for long and will last for awhile?
Pads
Pinnacle Safe Scrub Bug and Tar Pad
Pinnacle Wax Applicator
Cobra Microfiber Detailing Cloth
Cobra Microfiber Applicator Pad
If any one has any suggestions on if I am missing something, should use something else, or anything they can thing of. It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advanced.
