I will soon be taking delivery of my new MINI Cooper S and trying to get a few last car care products...yea i think i'm going nuts here but bear with me...
So far I've gotten Zaino z2, z5, z6, z7, z9, z10, z14, z16, z18, zfx and their applicators...stoners glass cleaner, fieldcrest charisma towels cut and restiched with 100% cotton thread, pakshak microfiber towels(gotta test myself the difference between cotton and mf), 2 cotton wash mit(1 for the front bumper and side mirrors - buggy prone areas - and the other for the rest of the car), california duster, california water blade(yes i'm VERY careful when using this) and some plain dawn soap.
But i still not sure what to put on the carpets to protect them...is good old scotch guard still the one to use or is there new better products for this? Should you need to do anything to the carpets on a new car? I have 2 sets of mats with the car, carpet and rubber for the seasons...but still think they should have something applied to help make them last and clean easier.
Also what is good to use to polish chrome trim(interior and exterior) - does one of the zaino products work well for this or is there better stuff for this?
How about cleaning and polishing wheels? again a zaino product here that i already have or is there something better? What tools do you use to clean your wheels? sponge - wash mit - brush? I don't want to use the mits i use on the rest of the car.
Cheers and thanks in advance
