from my experience for what we do anything under $300 will not last long.
we went thru 4 machines about 4 years back in 2 weeks they all ranged from $99-299. we used our Kranzle now for 2 years and we do over 20-40 cars a month not including our own cars. |

I just bought 1z Plastic Deep Cleaner and Cockpit Premium. My question is should i only use the deep cleaner if it's really dirty and stick to premium for normal cleaning? Is one better suited to clean and the other for protection? Just curious so i don't waste the deep cleaner if i don't have to use it everytime
Kinda off topic, but if anyone is considering detailing supplies i HIGHLY reccomend buying from these guys! Fast shipping and when i got my box they put suckers in it! I know it's something small and dumb but it put a smile on my face. Packed extremly well to!

I wash cars pretty regular. When it comes to detailing on my FR-S other than vacuuming I'm not sure what I should use to clean the dash, doors, & etc. Any tips?

Just a moist microfiber cloth will work fine.

the most popular way to remove wax would be with microfiber towels.

Does Opti Coat prevent damage from bird bombs? I'm pretty lazy about removing them...

if you don't take it off it will leave a stain over time.

I actually love washing and cleaning my car. The bit I don't like is drying it.
I have a leather chamois but find it time consuming and tiring wringing the damn thing out. With towels it takes a while too. Tried a car squeegee but that seemed to leave some fine scratches that I had to fix with wax. Even tried driving the car of five minutes to get rid of most of the water but that leaves water spots. So, what is the best way for drying down a car after washing??? .
