no no no armor all....it's already been said. but I am restating it...that stuff suck.

I just use some Meg's leather/plastic lotion...worked killer on my civic...I am sure it will be wonderful on my new wrx...full detail when I return from texas in a couple weeks.

Question.......on the s-100. I have used it on bikes as a topper.

But it sounds like people are doing this.

Wash, clay bar, rinse, dry, wax, s-100, and then something else?

should you put anything over the s-100? What the deal with this mouse stuff...is it worth using...

Right now....I just use gold class wash, then I wax, then I wax. Then detail the plastic, wheels and tires. Go over the windows and interior.

I will be adding either s-100 or vanilla moose to the mix...which ever is better or both if people think it makes a difference. And buying a clay bar/lube set.

Also wondering if anyone can recommend a tire polish that doesn't coat my freakin paint with black spray after I drive it. I use the black magic stuff...it flies everywhere...any recommendations..sucks to wash wax your car and it turns black.....happened the day I bought it...picked it up from the dealership...by the time I got home both sides were black.

Black magic bites big time. The shine is good but it goes everywhere. I think the best is Meguiar's "Gold Class" ENDURANCE high gloss tire gel. You rub it on and make sure to take off any extra. Best to let i sit over night. Or at least several hours. Great shine lasts long time.

Okay, that 303 Aerospace Potectant is great. Leaves everything super clean and shiny. But there in lies the problem. It's too shiny!!! Driving back roads with any kind of glare of the dash is downright blinding.

Anyone got any suggestion for the interior that leaves a flat finish?

Anyone tried Pinnacle Vinyl and Rubber Protectant? It's supposed to leave a non-glare finish.

I've recently discovered Mothers PRESERVERS. Its the best interior cleaner/conditioner I've ever used. It makes the dash look like factory new. No obnoxious shine and its not as slick as ice. It just looks clean and...hmm... "not dull".
