Pablo,
Detailers Domain, who also happen to be a site sponsor, have the best possible detailing products available. They frequently post promo codes here for popular products.

Check the sponsor list, and order with confidence. It's always nice to support sponsors of the forum like DD, formula dynamics, stickynomore, Ricambi and others.

I think the Swissvax products are excellent. The wax ranges from 'not cheap' to 'insanely expensive', but it is truly good stuff. They have excellent leather products too.

whatever your detailer wants i would guess? Personally, i never touch the stuff. I do wash my car occasionally and use dish soap and water. sometimes i treat the tires with stoner brand() "more shine" tire shine.

x3. It strips off any wax you had at one point and really dulls the shine.

Dude, you are so full of it. You told me last time I saw you, you don't wash your car. I know detail guy does it yearly.

Absolutely not. Wetpet is a troll.

are you saying i haven't washed my car in over 5 years? i probably wash it three times a year. that is at least 15 times. Don't you remember driving home in the pouring rain from the lotus party? don't think i had to wash it? It's true i don't detail it and i hate washing it, but i do and i use dishwashing liquid. Makes my hands feel soft too! that's for you old guys!

Pablo, no. don't wash your f40 with dishwashing liquid. you are gonna want to use something much more expensive like swissvax car bath shampoo for $64 per bottle. Don't forget to get the Swissvax Waschpudel Luxury wash pad for $27 to go with it.

Jazzy, i'm just kidding. That stuff is ridiculously expensive.

seriously pablo, just have a detailer do it.

The detailers I know are more expensive than the Swissvax stuff. What is ridiculous is all in the eye of the beholder. I think a decent set of products is not over the top for a $500k car (we are in the Supercar section here). I understand and respect that you make other choices but that doesn't mean that mine are invalid.

Not at all. I use all the AutoGlym products on my cars and they seem to work fine.
