Keeping it clean?

Any suggestions on how to keep it looking good inside and out?

take the seats out. takes like 3 minutes to pull them both out. 2 bolts a piece, and one plug under the passenger side. at least the ss/sc since no heated seats.

take the plastic covers off. they are by the rear passengers feet. unbolt the 2. slide the seat back an inch and the whole thing comes out.

I take them out for vaccuming all the time. mad easy and it gets everything. plus you can wander around inside and have plenty of room to do all the other interior cleaning like the back windo and ****. and leather stuff the seats why they are out

Here's my process for the exterior.

Three stage Mothers. First Stage removes old wax and any build up. Second stage removes any small imperfections in the paint such as very miniscule swirls. Third stage shines and protects.

*If you have a darker car or something with a decent amount of swirls, I replace stage 2 mothers eith Meguire's Swirl Remover 2.0.

Once that is all done, I go over all the plastic and rubber piece's with Turtle Wax ICE. I also do a complete stage 3 on the all 4 rims.
