This is my company car. So far I have washed, polished, and waxed all the paint(black), and yes I dressed the tires and wheel wells(obviously that was after this picture but this is the only oneon my comp). However the white is vinyl. The white appears dirty, streaked, and stained and I have been unable to remove it. What would ya'll suggest, I am considering a clay bar, or a cleaner wax. Anything else I should consider?
 
Some vinyl cleaner. I like TOL's Deep Down. It can be dilluted to many different strengths. If and when you get it clean, I would suggest that you protect it with some 303 protectant. Wipe it on wet, but just remember to buff off all of the residue. I use it on my magnetic signs.
 
OMG! never thought id see this post!!

mad props too ya!! :work: :clap:





either a very heavily diluted all purpose cleaner or a polish. :xyxthumbs a polish would be better on the vinyl, and than it would also be protected and wont "tarnish" as fast. :closed:
 
Thanks guys. As soon as I get a chance to do a full detail I will post pics. I will be driving it in the Oklahoma Sooners Homecoming parade so I may post those as well.
 
Just remember that most polishes are designed for painted surfaces and not vinyl. I think AIO would be fine because it uses chemical cleaners. I would not use anything with abrasives in it. I still think a mild APC type product followed by a good protectant would work the best.
 
Thats what I was thinking as well. Are there any AIO that I should be able to get locally? We have Target, Walmart, pepboys, OReillys, autozone.
