Detailing tools
 
I am looking to find some detailing tools for the interior and exterior of the car. Anything that you have found that works great on cleaning and maintaining the beauty of your classic car.

Sounds like she is a lucky lady.

What do you use for those small little places?

I use a fine detaliers brush. The bristles are about an inch long. A small soft paint brush works good also.

My son used to work as a detailer while he was in School and one of the things they did was take a 1" paint brush and cut the bristles back to about
1" or 2" where its pretty soft but still hard enough to get into the cracks and crevices, I have two of them at home and use them all the time. It's great for getting wax out of those hard to reach places like the SS emblems.

Another trick he taught me was to clean stains and carpet is to use the can style window cleaner that foams up....it does a great job and cheaper and smells better than carpet cleaner.


Something I do when I wash the Chevelle and dry it, I then take the leaf blower and blow all the extra water from molding and vinyl roof, it works great. I used this on my Bike and figured why not the car. My one neighbor laughed at me the first time he seen me do it..now he does it on his ZR1. Note..It works great in the motor area after you spray it down to get all the dust off the fender wells.

God, I love POWER tools.

Dryer sheets work really well for taking bug guts off of chrome bumpers and trim.
