Default What products do you use to wash your Honda?

I bought a 2007 Honda Accord and wanted to ask fellow Honda owners what they use (products) to wash the exterior and interior. Thanks in advance!

I love armorall. The smell of their car wash smells so good to me. And then use their wipes for the dash. I haven't tried their tire wet yet. But anything armorall usually get's the job done.

If you wash the car, make sure you go through a touchless automatic or wash the car manually, with the hose, only. Use the Pre-Soak, then High Pressure soap, then High Pressure Rinse, then spot-free rinse. Drying with Chamois or absorber is recommended (do not use a cotton towel). If you wash the car at home, use a clean micro-fiber mit or a very soft sponge with Meguiar's NXT or gold-class car wash. If you have hard-water, I would not recommend washing your car at home. It can leave permanent spots on your paint of you don't dry it fast enough and are in direct sunlight. When drying your car, make sure you use something soft like an microfiber absorber or chamois. Never use a cotton cloth. it is too abrasive and will cause swirl marks. For external waxing, 2 times a year (once before winter and once after winter if you live in a climate where salt is used on the roads), use the 3-step process, which includes a paint anti-oxidant, a car polish, and a car wax. Whether hand-waxing or buffing, make sure you use only a micro-fiber applicator and microfiber cloths for removing wax. Cotton (Terry cloth) is way too abrasive and will leave swirl marks. For routine maintenance throughout the year, wax your car once per month if is it parked outside and once every 2 months if it is garage-kept. One coat is normally fine. Never wax in direct sunlight and make sure the paint is cool when applying wax. For internal wiping on rubber or plastic and for exterior rubber or plastic trim, use either Meguiars NXT Tech protect or Gold Class wipes. Both are far superior to anything armour-all makes. It will leave a brighter shine and protect better and longer. If you do not use the wipes on this, use either a microfiber or foam applicator pad. Good luck.
