Brakes/Washing

[metalhead212]

Well I just dumped 1000.00 on brakes, and well we all know how clean mechanics keep when getting in and out of your car so my question is, what is a decent quality sponge and soap to use on my car? I want to do interior and exterior. I already have the leather wipes and what not and the carpet scrub, but I need some decent soap and a hand sponge. I am not looking for best of the best. Just something you can find at you local auto parts store or superstore like meijer or wallmart.

Thanks!

Don't use a sponge on your paint, use a cotton wash mitt, save the sponge for your wheels and wheel wells. Use a good car wash, if you use Meguiar's or Mothers products use their car wash soap, manufacturers spend a lot of money making sure their products work well together. For interior cleaning 303 spray cleaner does a great job on the vinyl

What is 303 spray cleaner and where can I get it. Also what would you recommend on the leather as someone who didnt wash their jeans was in my truck last week and I noticed their jeans bled on my seats.

I'd go back and make them detail your vehicle for free. I wouldn’t appreciate it if I take so much time to have my Caddy looking nice for some mechanic to rub their grease all over my interior.

303 can be purchased from many auto stores, and boat stores, it works very well. For leather I like Zaino Z-9 Leather Cleaner and Z-10 Leather Conditioner, at our shops we used Lexol for years, and it works well, try their leather cleaner, you can find it pretty easy at many auto stores.

Any major chains you can think of, im in Wilm/Philly area. I would really like to get a good leather cleaner and conditioner because my seats are deteriorating faster than my old truck did.
