Hahaha, was waiting for the repsonses
I've been meaning to ask you Oleg, where did you get those supplies? I'm mainly interested in the black trim stuff, Works wonders, and after all this rain my rubstrips lost that great clean look.
And thanks for helping show me what to do, I posted some pictures on VWVortex that you guys took, and everyone loved the car, especially how clean it was!

Hey John,JZProwler said:
The black trim stuff is Poorboy's Trim Restorer. Mine is from a local MA distributor, who lives in Arlington, but you can find it online in many stores, such as autogeek.net. As you keep using Trim Restorer, it will actually keep the trim darker longer as it supplies the plastic with UV absorbers. Don't use Mother's Back-to-Black --it's very runny and leaves white residue when it disapepars.
We also used Poorboy's Wheel Sealant on the wheels.
On exterior, we used Jeffs Werkstatt Prime Strong for basecoat and Jeffs Werkstatt Acrylic Jett Trigger for topcoat. You can only buy these online from that site. Now that you have had the basecoat applied, you can apply another coat of Acrylic Jett Trigger (it's an acrylic sealant) whenever, e.g. in 6 months when the original layers are wearing.
Also, other things I used at the meet:
Interior: Meguiar's #40 (I bought mine at a local Meguiar's Professional dealer) for Interior vinyl/rubber cleaning, Zaino Z-10 for leather conditioning.
Collinite 845 wax on Dan's white car.
Of course, we also clayed, with this and this; the latter (ClayMagic) can be found at AutoZone and is the best deal on clay anywhere.
A lot of the microfiber towels I used were from Target (Vroom brand) and they are pretty good, for locally available stuff. Their large yellow drying towel is good. However, online you can find some really some nice microfibers; I recommend stuff from Pakshak or Exceldetail.
