I use a steamer and a shop vac; but it can smell after so i always shampoo the carpet after.

I use to be into detailing my cars... had all the products, clays, polish... this was more than 10 years ago now so all the product I still have are shit, and very out dated... someone school me on the basics? I have a waterless spray wash/wax that I've been using for quick cleans.. and two buckets and some ol' fashion soap for a good wash... but I want that shine back. Is waxing THAT outdated? All I keep reading about is ceramic coating and fancy shit that's new to me.

Did a decent wash yesterday in the driveway and pressure washed the salt/junk coated front mats. I'm sure it will rain any day now.

nope. a good clay bar, polish and wax will go a long, long way. basics: wash with meguries gold class (crappy tire $14), clay ($20 crappy if you want to go through claying, use wash soap), polish (meguires M205, amazon smallest size, use machine dual action polisher), seal w/whatever sealant you like, i like blackfire. tire shine clean rims and bling out.

I've got tons. Do the clay mitts do anything with those or am I better off using a bar? Does IronX help?

clay mitt or bar, it's the same thing. a bar is better for getting into the tight spaces tho so i always have both on hand.

IronX does help, quite a bit however, i don't use it. it's pretty much the same thing as sonax wheel cleaner; a cleaner based detergent that reacts with iron (the fallout), turns purple and dissolves it. personally i don't like it because what about the parts that don't have iron on it? it's strong enough that it doesn't leave clear coat alone so i'd rather be on the safe side and go at it with a clay bar and some elbow grease and save the clear coat. plus, it stinks. bad. so bad that i would consider wearing a respirator if using it.

Sonax for rims is the absolute BOMB ...

I used to just spray on, let it sit, then wash off, no drying, and a few days later I'd get this disgusting grey build-up of dirt... Finally grabbed a rag to rub it off, and those rims are damn shiny, and stay shiny...

sonax is great and all but it's expensive, and not needed. before you slap your summer wheels on give them a nice inside and out clean with the sonax. then grab your sealant or any wax for that matter and slap a coat of wax on them, takes 10 mins.

then you'll be able to wipe brake dust right off, or at most some quick detailer or car wash soap while you're washing the car. it'll save the wheels from the clear coat peeling.
