Agree fully. Moe has been very helpful to me also.

Cation with microfiber towels. They are not all created equal. As far as wax, it depends on what you are after in regards to finish vs time. I have personally found using Zymol past applied by hand to be a zen type experience making me one with my car.

As for leather, use a good cleaner and treatment keeps it like new. Wet rage will not work long term.

I now have a complete arsenal to address virtually any issue in detailing and enjoy every minute.

In the beginning, don't overwhelm yourself with what product is the best. There really isn't "the best" of anything out there. It all comes down to personal preference. Some that like a glossy finish may want a synthetic product to wax with and consider that the best. Other want more depth and richness and use a natural carnauba to wax with and consider that the best.

Take your time, educazte yourself and find out the "look" you're going for for the interior and exterior. Take a look at some detail posted in the detailing section. Here's an example of a new car prep:

This process is a great way to get an idea of the scope of a proper detail.

Once you find out what you like, post your questions on specific products. Remember to keep things simple and focus more on the technique. Most of the recommendations on products here are good ones and we've talked about everything.

When you know what you want, give us the list and we'll help steer you away from the bad stuff
Thanks for the thoughtful response.
