    Looks like I'm not the only Meguiar's fan here. I don't really like Armour-All's super shiny affect either, but I love the non-glossy/greasy Meguiar's natural shine interior quick detailer. I am planning to get some 303 to try next time I order more stuff, I've heard good stuff about for a long time now.

    Meguiar's Ultimate Compound works great for hand polishing though. It's what I used to do my friend's entire VX and used it for some smaller spots on a couple of my families cars and it works great.

    Imho

    If real dirty get a cheap car wash 1st to get the majority off.
    I find washing it 1st thing in the AM when it is still dewy works great. The water coming up off the metal seems to lift the dirt
    Dontforget a Shammy to dry it so its doesnt spot

    detailing

    I found this outfit to be pretty good to do business with. http://store.carcareonline.com/ They will sell you everything you need of course and carry many brands.

    Larry, the guy behind it has written some great how - to articles on actually what your asking about with some great humor,. (example, talking about brake dust - The only sure way to stop all this etching/burning/flocculating (sounds kind of kinky) is to refrain from using your brakes. Such a course of action is not usually desirable, even though some drivers are proponents. So give it a look
