Check out Car Cleaning Guru on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/CarCleaningGuru" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Also getting brand new car on the 1st and how I'll be treating it in the future:
  • Power wash to remove all surface dirt
  • Use Snow Foam or a TFR (Traffic Film Remover) to remove caked in dirt (pre-wash)
  • Two bucket method one for soap, other for rinsing (might invest in grit guards)
  • Use two sheepskin mitts, one for upper half, one for lower half
  • Alloys to be cleaned with a fallout remover
I personally picked up an AutoBrite starter kit (currently discounted at the moment): here
