I located a local Carquest and they have 901 for $4.99.
Since I gotta stop by there, can anyone recommend leather care product for seats and something for dash board?
One more thing, how do you clean tail pipe? It's too close to bumper nothing can get into that gap.

They may have Lexol - which a lot of people like for the leather seats.

I use Car Pro PERL on the dash and doors - but Carquest won't carry it.

The Carquest I was at surprisingly had a number of different products - Duragloss does make stuff for the dash / seats that Carquest carries -
but I have no experience with it. I have read both leave a wetter look. If you get it, you have two options

DURAGLOSS UD Vinyl & Leather Dressing (201) i
DURAGLOSS Leather Conditioner (221)

The Bird Sh#t remover product does work well.

http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...t-remover.html
BTW, does Bird Sh#t remover strip the wax I put on? in the link they applied blackfire Crystal Seal afterword. Do I need to use quick detailer or spray wax after the Bird Sh#t remover?
Does Bird Sh#t remover work well with bugs?

Thanks again!

I just use water and a soft cloth. Works for me. Unless it's from a goose then all bets are off. That stuff dries like armor.

No, Bird Sh#t remover will not strip your wax or coating - however the bird crap will. So some people like to put some wax on the spot after they clean it

I really have had no issue with bugs to try the Bird Sh#t remover on but from what I have read, yes it will work well with bugs

Default Maintenance wash

Finally I found free time to do a maintenance wash today.
As you can see. I got a few new detailing stuff (again)
Mothers Wheel Brush
Duragloss 902 Car Wash Concentrate
Lexol 0923 Leather Care
Gilmour foam gun

I set a foam gun setting to A(1 oz per gallon) but didn't get much form as expected. Duragloss 902 might not be for foam gun? I did optimum quick detailer and spay wax after the wash since I had some free time and hoping it will boost up little more but it looks my like previous wax is still there and good after 3 week!

Thanks!!
