  • What detailers use

    I am wondering what professional detailers use to detail their customer cars.

    I was referred to one who would clean my interior for $65CAN. This includes exterior wash, remove salt stains and clean the carpet, clean all glass surface, dressing to all leather and vinyl interior surfaces. I get excellent results by Ultimate Protectant, GC Rich Leather Cleaner and Conditioner and various glass cleaners. Do they use better products?

    It's a subjective question/answer. What one person thinks is a better product than another is an opinion most often. I don't think your giving up much with the GC leather cleaner/conditioner, but there are stronger cleaners for abused leather.

    Window cleaners.... I like Zep 40. As long as your glass gets clean and you like using the product, your doing fine.

    A pro likely has an extractor and a steam cleaner to make tough interior cleaning much easier and quicker. Guys like you and I rely on fabric cleaner or Meguiars APC and a few MF towels. We get it done, but you and I may spend 2 hours or more just on interior.
    Doing the best I can with what I've got.

      Maybe I should give it a try.
      They can probably give my interior a thorough cleaning with stronger products.

        I use mostly consumer products for my jobs. Mostly Meguiars products. But I do have some other brands I use. Like for my glass I use Stoners aerosol can. But I do have Meguiars glass cleaner to. Just haven't used it yet.
        Don't get caught riding dirty!
