What cleaning supplies do you use to clean your Envoy?

Just so you guys know, I am a little bit of a Meguiars fan. I would love to know what everyone else is using to keep their Envoy looking sharp.

To protect your paint, give your truck that new car look, AND to remove minor scrathes and scuffs, I use Meguiars Cleaner Wax

For a great tire shine I use Meguiars Gold Class Endurance High Gloss. To apply this tire shine I use Eagle One Tire Swipes.

If you need to give your rims a quick cleaning, I use Meguiars Quik Wheel Detailer Mist & Wipe, this stuff is amazing. Breaks down brake dust and dirt off of your rims right away without pulling out the bucket and hose.

To clean the interior I use Meguiars Quik Interior Detailer Wipes. These work great and they don't leave that nasty residue Armor All wipes leave behind.

If you have any annoying stains on your floormats I would recommend using Meguiars Quik Out Carpet Stain Remover, it is a proven winner. (Coffee, ketchup, oil, dirt, etc...)

I have never polished my rims but after finding Meguiars Hot Rims Chrome Polish, you better believe I will be using this and once I do, I will let you guys know how well it works.

I am also going to test out Meguiars PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner & Polish, I have always used the Cleaner Wax for my headlights, fog lights, and tail lights but I am sure this stuff works better. I will also update on how well this product works.

And lastly for the windows, for some reason I haven't tried any Meguiars product here, ever since I found Invisible Glass. This stuff is great.

I hope everyone finds this useful. Please let me know if I was able to help you in any way, Thanks

I agree that Meguiars makes some good stuff, and use their cleaner and carnuba waxes. For maintenance waxing, I use Dupont Teflon Wax, which is amazingly easy to use, and produces quite a shine.

On the interior I use the Dupont Teflon Interior Protectant, because it is not too glossy, and does a superior job of repelling dust, etc.

I use Lexor Leather conditioner spray on the seats, which gives them a deep color, and softens the leather really well.

On the tires I use a variety of shines, but have found the Advance Auto brand to produce a nice shine, which stays on for a long time, even through washes.

Take Care,

Mark

Here are a few things in my personal mini-detail shop... Armor All for the dash and plastic trim, Tire Wet to make the tires shine, some specialized Armor all Leather wipes (cleaning towelettes for leather), and a bottle of leather cream (conditioner). For the outside I have a few different waxes...I like Zymol cleaner wax, and then follow it up with some Meguiar's carnauba wax for that finishing shine. Also of course I have some spray window cleaner (non streaking) called Invisible Glass.

When time permits, I use a generic car wash soap to clean the outside, Meguirs for waxing/cleaning, and Eagle One Tire Wet for the tires.
