I want to take good care of my new G25x. Can anyone recommend cleaning products for the following areas on the new G35...
-Rims, are these Aluminum?
-Tires, products to make them shine without ruining the tire
-Cleaning product for the chrome pieces
-Products to protect the interior leather
-A good soap for the outside.
Also, has anyone tried any good products to prevent the windows from fogging up?
Thanks!

 

Here is what I use for general cleaning.





Zaino Z10 Leather In A Bottle

For detailing, I use Zaino Z2/Z5/Z6.
For removing swirl marks and paint marring, I use a Porter Cable, PoorBoys SR2.5 and SR 2

 

I went with a combination of Wolfgang and Pinnacle products. They are really high end and expensive... but there is a difference and the quality is fantastic. If your not looking for this high end level of products, the next best thing is Meguiar's line of products, their NXT line is excellent.

-As far as for the rims. Look for a general wheel cleaner like above or a non chrome cleaner. I use eagle 1 spray and rinse. Little scrubbing if there real bad wont hurt.
-Most tire shines are designed to preserve tires, but finding one that wont spin off in 2 miles is another story. I use meguires tire gel and have good luck with it. If i dont have time to mess with the gel i use stoners more shine less time tire spray.
-Mothers makes a chrome polish but i would use caution on anything except wheels. If you get the polish on rubber it will stain the rubber. You should get a good shine just by washing the car. I use Zaino car wash because it came with the kit i got from them. But normally i use meguires listed above or mothers California gold.
-For the leather i strongly recommend lexol for any leather problems or protecting. It comes in 2 parts, 1 bottle is a cleaner and orange i think and the other is a preserve which comes in a brown bottle. (Could have those reversed.) They do an excellent job removing stains and when the preserve is put on it does not give a greasy finish, it just soaks into the leather like it should. A must buy for anyone with leather interior in my opinion.
-As far as fogging i used a rain x product that was supposed to help against fogging on the windows but didnt have good luck with it. Ill post if i find anything this winter..

I used to work at a detailing shop so ive tried alot of products that go along with cleaning the car. Thats some of what ive found, hope that helps...

 

I've always used Meguiar's cleaner with good results. On the G, bought a bunch of Zaino stuff including car wash, so currently using that.

For inside leather cleaner, Zymol leather cleaner works great and conditions the leather. Also like their leather conditioner (conditioner only, not cleaner).

For wheels, I just do that last with the car wash, and use Meguiar's Hot Shine on the tires.

 

Remember your wheels are like your car, generally they are painted and clear coated. Wash them but most of all also wax them. This will keep the brake dust from sticking and damaging the wheels over time.
