Default Cleaning the body of the car & rag top + interior

Hi all,

I live in ON Canada so I do not know if any of the products you are discussing are even available in Canada.
Can someone suggest what to buy in Canada to clean the outside, top, & interior.
I have read that the body should be washed by hand.
Any other ideas also for the spokes? My other car has chrome mags so not sure what to use on the Crossfire. She deserves to look better than better.

Thanks in advance

Meguiars products are available at Crappy Tire, not cheap but good. They come on sale at times. read the article mentioned above and you will be an expert.
Next you will want a orbital polisher made by Porter Cable, the polishing pads .......

I love Zaino products too but I think you have to keep and open mind. Meguiars Gold Car Shampoo is by far the best car soap I have ever used. For my money it beats Zaino and all the rest hands down. I also use scratch x and plastx, also great Meguiar's products. Saw a demo on Hot Rod TV a few weeks back of a product form Wolfgangs that removes light scartches and swirl marks. The stuff was amazing, got a bottle to have not that my car has any swirl marks. As for the hand washing its all what you want to do. You can take your car to a car wash but good bet in two - three years its gonna be a swirled mess. I guess some folks don't have a choice. I spend about an hour and a half a week on my car, year round. When its 33 degrees in the winter it gets washed. Once a month it gets a coat of Zaino, once a year a clay bar. Its all how much effort you want to put into it. You will find a lot of good information here. Pay a lot of attention to Mike from Orange, he's the expert here. Search just about any of his posts and you will get a wealth of infomation about cleaning and waxing your car. Good luck!
