Aloha Mike,
I just bought an Alabaster Silver with Black leather interior 2012 Honda Accord SE, and my question is how often should should I detail it. I live on Maui and wash it every week minimum and someimes more due to the fact we have rain and mud and also sunny skies with alot of salt air. I make sure to clean all of the door jambs and under the trunk lid and hood along with wiping down the color keyed rims everytime I wash the car. On the interior I currently just use a slightly damp microfiber towel and wipe it down. My concern with doing that is that it might dry out the leather. I know I'm supposed to condition the leather too but I am not sure how often I'm supposed to do it. I would like to know what products you recommend I should use on my Accord. I have looked at the various "car care kits" on this website but I really do not know which particular brand is better and what size kit I really need for the car I have. This car is an everyday driver but my goal is to keep it looking new so that five years from now it will look like a car owned by that little old lady who keeps her car in the garage only, and drives her car only 4 times a month to go to church and twice a month to buy groceries going no more than 1 mile for each trip. I will be ordering your detailing book along with the " car care kits" you recommened and thank you in advance for all your help.
Mahalo and Aloha, Art
