So true. Engine brite says not to spray it on hot engines. Probably something to do with the flammability hahaha

Zaino anything works super well. I'm a huge fan of all their products. I've used the Z-CS and Z5 and got awesome results, however I'm saving up to do an all out cleaning with the clay bar and PC-fusion. They also have an amazing tire dressing. The only other cleaner I use would be the Stoner's invisible glass cleaner. As long as you use lint-free towels or newspaper, you are good to go. Also Meguiar's interior detailer works awesome and smells nice!

Any suggestions for detailing chrome rims? I hear a sealant works better than wax.

I had a Diamond Kote detailing kit given to me, I've only used the vinyl detailer and fabric cleaner so far, it is amazing. The vinyl gives a nice shine and makes the dash, plastics, and leather look brand new and moisturized again. I used the fabric cleaner on a few spots on the carpet, and it lifted them right away.
My tires were all stained since I got the car, and nothing seemed to get the grease, tar and caked on crap off of them. Sprayed them with the fabric cleaner, and it wiped right off.

I personally have never waxed either of my vehicles but Lindsey has waxed them numerous times. I guess I do take the the seats out to make sure everything gets clean!
