All in recommendations for verts.
Hey all, 1st post to the forums, i just picked up new daily 2016 black rs vert. I want to make sure I get a good kit to keep her clean and shinny.
 I have spent a bit of time reading various threads and I know that everyone has preferences, but I wanted the general (not too pricey) setup to take care of her. roof, wheels, body and do I need a polisher or not? I want to give it a ceramic polish also. Not trying to go into too much detail, but at least some brands. thanks

Get the kit with the cleaner included and follow the directions, with one exception: roll on the coating with a $8 mini paint roller kit from Walmart. Don't spray, it makes a mess and doesn't penetrate as well or coat as evenly as rolling it on. Wash it with a coating safe soap (Adam's and Carpro Reset both work very well and are coating safe). On a black car the best paint protection is film, not ceramic. Water spots will be murder. If you cannot swing the cost of PPF, then skip ceramic and just do a good durable hydrophobic coating like Gtechniq EXO. $60-ish per bottle and you can DIY. Quick detailer (applied with a 500 g/sm MF towel): 1 part Carpro Ech20 5 parts Carpro Reload 20 parts distilled water Looks like this (my car has Suntek PPF, hood insert is factory painted Mosaic Black Metallic):

Give Mr. Pena a call. These folks are know for repair of rag tops AND the care of rag tops. I have heard them say, if maintenance is properly done with correct products, the rag top should last for as long as you have the car.
They can ship you the products. http://penabrosautotops.com/index.html |
