Default Best car care products?!

Since my car will be here in a couple of week I'd like to gather some supplies in prep, so
I'm wondering what everyone is using out there.

I'm looking for a good balance between price,ease of use,results, I know there isn't a PERFECT
product out there, but I'm sure there are a couple that would fit into this pretty well.

In a nutshell I don't have 6 hours every week to burn cleaning my car, I like for it to look good
but there is a limit on the amount of time I have to spend on it..

So if anyone could make some recommendations on products to clean the exterior,interior
leather and the interior vinyl I'd really appreciate it..

Thanks in advance!

Default First of all what color are you getting? (more)

What color you get will determine how much time you will have to spend on cleaning. If you bought black you're in trouble. Silver and grey should require the least maintenance. Mine is silver and doesn't show dirt much. As far as what to buy and where to buy it I am really happy with Autopia.com
They have some great tutorials and seem to ahve some really good products. I spent over $100 the first time I visited their site. It seems to me that Pinnacle makes some really good products. Check them out, I think you'll like these guys!<ul><li><a href="http://www.autopia.com">Autopia</a></li></ul>

Default Dennis, the color is irrelevant

I have a Brilliant Black TTQ and the only time I have spent more than 1 1/2 hours washing/waxing the car was when I did it the first time. The first time I did the car it took me 5 hours and that is because I am SICK!

I went through the ENTIRE Zaino ritual. I even did all 4 wheels OFF the car! Ask Jenner about the results! He wants me to help him with his Silver TTQ.

I am telling you the color does not matter. My car does not retain the dirt as much as before. I am still going to wash and wax the car a few times each month, but again that is MY choice!

Take a look at the pic of my car below . . .tell me what you think?

Getting a Green one so I should be in pretty good shape, my current car is a darker green
and it's not too bad.

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out!

D-TTrain -

U might want to check that URL again, seems like they switched business and are now
a Dental Software management firm..

So it's Zaino,Zymol or possibly Pinnacle? How time consuming are these, and are they
multistep?

What about product for the wheels,leather,vinyl ??
