Default Detailing Questions ...

If I want to start being more diligent about my detailing/washing of my A5. Currently, I'm using a wash mitt with EagleOne car wash, EagleOne wheel cleaner, microfiber towels for drying (no wax put on yet), and cleaning the inside with a microfiber towel and an Armor All cleaner (matte shine).

What are all your suggestions for a more thorough detailing kit (wash, was, dry, glass, wheels, inside). Is it worth buying a kit (i.e. from Detailer's Domain), or should I just purchase separate components as necessary.

Default Wash: Einszett Perls, Wax: Einszett Glanz, Glass: Adams Glass Cleaner,

Wheels: P21s wheel gel, Interior: Einszett Cockpit (all but leather), dry: some good waffle weave MF towels. Contact Phil at Detailers Domain and he'll set you up right.

Default i'd stop using the armor all asap...it tends to dry out leather and plastic over time

look at lexol and vinylex for cleaning and preserving plastics and leather.

Default great questions, it's helpful to list what you use. you'll get lots of replies with replacement

products and techniques.

And a direct email to Phil @ Detailer's Domain will be helpful too!
