Door Jam
Alright That one thing that has been bothering me for awhile, I feel I should go ahead and throw it out there. There maybe posts about this but I could not find them. I noticed while cleaning our 91 corolla that the door jams are just nasty, and while detailing some cars before its a very hard task for me at least, to clean the door jams.
my questions:
1. What tools do you use to clean in the door jams? by the hinge, wiring covers etc.
2. what products, i know you can coat it with 303 after your done cleaning but what to clean the grim off
3. would useing a cleaner mean i need to apply a wax to the painted areas to make sure they are protected? or is it just fine washed.

Re: Door Jam
Different size brushes, cheap microfiber towels and a good APC is a must for cleaning door jams. Waxing it will help in cleaning it the next time.

Re: Door Jam
Tooth brushes will be fine for cleaning around the hinges. Just make sue you don't put it back in the bathroom

Use Aqua Wax on the jams...for those hard to get areas you don't need to wipe off the AW it will dry clear.

For the easy to reach areas of the door jambs I started using Klasse HGS. Thanks Tad! So far it's looking great and no more micro scratches!

Re: Door Jam
Good topic. I've often wondered about what brushes would be good to get in the hinge area. Something not too expensive as this area can get bad on some vehicles!

Re: Door Jam
I use some of my older microfibers, a 2 gallon rinse bucket, and two spray bottles. One with some car wash and warm water. The other with clean water.
Spray down the door jams and let it soak, get in there and clean things up (rinsing and wringing it out damp when needed), then spraying down with clean water and wiping with a "clean" (old but washed) microfiber.
Then a once over with some of the spray on/wipe off wax. Once you get 'em clean, they'll stay pretty clean and just need a good wipe down with a damp micro and a few sprays with a finishing product to keep 'em looking nice.

Re: Door Jam
I've always thought toothbrushes were too rough for any use on painted areas so I use good quality paint brushes in different sizes to get in those hard to reach areas.
