What car wash supplies does my F deserve?
My IS350 was wrapped so washing it consisted of wiping it down with a wet rag.
What are some of the best products out there to keep my new F looking like new? I've got the itch to go buy all brand new stuff.
Thanks!

BTW: What buckets are you guys using with your Grit Guards? Anyone using a Home Depot or Lowes bucket with a Grit Guard? There like $3 compared to $13 for the Grit Guard/Autogeek Buckets. Wondering if the Grit Guard will fit snug in those 5 gallon buckets.

Ive been a Meguiars fan in the past, but wanted to make sure I was getting the best products for the F.
Grit Guard Bucket?... Seems self explanatory... but googling now.

When it comes to the wheels, the SONAX works wonders. I haven't found one that cleans and takes out the brake dust as good as this product. As for the body of the F, there are a number of great vendors on the forum. Personally, I use the Blackfire products for the full detail (shampoo, clay, polish, compound) with the Turtle Wax liquid wax with the polisher or the P21S carnauba paste wax when I want to do it by hand. For those minor upkeep days when I just want to keep it looking clean, the Blackfire detailer or Turtle Wax synthetic detailer will do for me. Windows- I use the Invisible Glass aerosol spray, and it keeps the inside and out looking crystal clear. For the interior, I use the Lexol products.

Wish I could wash my car. I miss the gigantic driveway in Bryant.
Stupid condo w/ HOA rules doesn't let me wash my car. I gotta take it off site.

mrsardar, check out http://www.detailedimage.com/SONAX-M...525/500-ml-S1/
If you know you're going to clean the rims and pretty much around the wheel well a lot, I'd opt for the 5 L. I go through plenty detailing my friends' cars, as well as relatives and my own, so it really is a better buy. But that botttle (just for the F), should last at least 6 applications doing all four wheels. Hope this helps!
