If car is dull or dirty use Mothers pre-wax cleaner and then use
Mothers cleaner wax or pure carnuba.Final coat of wax should be applied with a damp cloth in no more than 12"X12" squares and buffed immediately before it hazes over(sort of like spit shining shoes). I use Castrol Purple Super cleaner on interior carpet and on car mats, spray it on mats and use liberal amounts on stains. Scrub with a brush and soapy water,rinse until water runs clear,then hang mats to allow them to dry. I use the same Purple super cleaner on engine bay. Use a soft brush to scrub engine and compartment then rinse and blow dry. I use Armoral on tires, spray it on heavy, use a rag to cover entire tire and then dry it off with a clean towel,this makes tire look new without that fake shiny look. The Super cleaner removes tree sap and bug stains from paint surfaces,but flush the area with water as soon as the stain is gone. Too long of an exposure on paint can dull it. Also do not use super cleaner on aluminum engine parts unless you plan to buff them. It works real good as a tire cleaner and doesn't seem to affect aluminum wheels,probably because most are covered with a clear coat. I don't use Armoral on newer car interiors as they have a dull finish which just looks better if they are just cleaned and left dull. Older cars with shiny interiors look fine with Armorol ,but use the non-glossy type. Put it on and buff it off. Most important part of any wax job is, get all of the wax off especially in groves(use a toothbrush) Nothing looks worse than
dried wax on a car yuk! One caveat.don't use Super cleaner on
leather,use saddle soap.
