Car Detailing

Can anyone recommend some very good products to detail my 911 both inside and out. I see there are vast differences in prices on a variety of products from paste waxes to liquid sealants, and I will be doing the job myself, so any recommendations and price points are appreciated. Thanks

Definitely check Moe Mistry's sticky around detailing. Great articles and his online store (both standalone and Amazon) are full of good products. Really made a difference to my slightly abused acquisition last year!

Check out, my thread in the detailing section titled "Taking the Plunge".

I did my first paint correction on Friday following Moe's advice. I cannot believe how great the car came out looking.

Nope......not even a bit! I spent too much time stressing over where to drive,if the weather was going to be nice,how many rock chips I would get on that drive and most of all....I would have to spend hours cleaning and detailing the car when I got home.Having no car(toy) has been the best stress relief....

I use zaino , but I like most the OEM leather conditioner for the leather. Especially with some of the "moisture spots" that some of the 997.2 people have reported in heated and ventilated seated, I prefer , for the seats OEM leather conditioner
