Should help. I used Armor All wipes for inside of my car, they work good, may try something different next time though.

Maguires is always good! u should use a clay bar kit, to get off any imperfections from winter driving, then wax the car.

I've read that over and over and over. Great info and step by step.

After reading and looking up on it further, I have got the PC 7424xp kit. This video explains how safe the PC really is in novice hands. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XAqpOe9Zt4)

Junkman2000 on youtube also has good videos.
