to add to the previous poster, which APC do you recommend for interiors, and which type of vacuum do you recommend (ie is a wet vac necessary?).

Do you recommend plexus for navigation touch screens (ie Lexus)?

Thanks a lot!

We use Adam's Carpet and Upholstery for the carpets if they are not too soiled.

If they are we use a professional grade carpet extractor.

For the interior trim and nav screens we use Einszett ****pit which is safe on the whole interior.

For the vac we do sell the Metro Vacs

Thanks Phil! I have one more question. I have a fairly large scratch on my front bumper. I was thinking of getting the whole front bumper just repainted. Do you know of a certain time I should wait before applying wax or even washing with shampoo?

i believe you can wash the car immediately but i would not wax for a month or so but the best person to ask will be the body shop that did the work.

do you have a picture of the scratch?

Here the catch its no where to be found on the site.

You will have to click on this SECRET SALE LINK

Then at check out you will have to put discount code " 30OFF " to complete the transaction.

Only items in this catergory/link will apply.

Note: starts now/ ends on Nov 22nd at Midnight

Note: Min order of $45.00

Protecting Alcantara. I have a 2008 STi and I know cleaning it's alcantara is sas simply as using warm water but how about protecting it? Would you suggest a fabric guard spray?

Thanks

ok. I originally brought my 08 AW STI with swirl marks and light scratch from the dealer due to possible car washing.

Here are the step I washed over the weekend.

Palmolive dish soap
Mother's clay bar
Car wash soap
Meguirer Scratch X
Meguirer Gold class wax

I see more spider mark than it did before. What can I do? Seems like I did more damage to the clear coat before the start? What do you recommend / suggestion?
