Hi,
I just got my mazda 3 today. I was wondering what everyone uses to clean exterior,plus interior? Mine has cloth seats,was wondering what was best stuff to use to keep it clean. Besides armor all, what is another good product to protect dash/steering wheel and everything that the hand touches...
Far as exterior, what are some good products to use for wheels/tires,and body of car. Especially between washes,what ppl use to clean up dirt/bird leftovers

Finally, is there anything can use to clean components on engine that wont cause harm.
thnks.

For Waxing i use

For Touch up Cleanings here and there

and for Tires i absolutly LOVE

All of which are available from places like Walmart or Target, any Auto Parts Place etc.... Hope this helps

for cleaning the interior plastics just try woolite mixed 1:6 with water in a little spray bottle. It will clean just fine, and isn't harmful to the plastics. Also you can use it on the seats to get out minor stains.

Armor all (as I've recently discovered) doesn't actually protect against UV damage, it only makes stuff shiney. I prefer the non-shiney dash as it doesn't reflect sunlight into my eyes, so the woolite works great for me.

Check out this thread for a list of suggestions on what to buy for your car cleaning needs.
