While I was cast out I bought a car... a car I actually like this time.
So I need some help from you kind folks. I'm an ignoramous when it comes to cars, but I want to keep this car looking pristine and nice. I want the paint to look glossy and deep, and the tires/wheels to look new.
What products do I have to buy for the body/paint? Do I need to polish, and what kind? What about those clay bars? Will they hurt the paint? What about wax? What about those rotary buffing machines I see on late night k-tel ads?
And about the leather, what do I do to keep it supple and new looking? How about shoe polish?
And tires, how do they stay black and shiny?
I got the car with 19" alloy rims on performance summer tires. A buddy told me that I should get winter tires on 17" or 18" rims. I thought maybe stick with the 19" rims and go all-season. What do you guys recommend? I don't want to blow loads of cash on tires/wheels as it is.... the rims this came with are nice enough. Where do I get good deals on tires/wheels? I thought about getting these wheels: http://kxwheels.com/productdetails.cfm?productid=625&catid=181&&detailid=0 with the set of tires package. Cooper tires.... they told me these tires are not bad. I'm not into racing and want the tires to last a long time. I never heard of Cooper tires. Are they any good?
Man... it pays not to poon too much. This car is my new GF!
