I'll be heading out to Autozone in a few minutes. Please recommend stuff to buy to keep the interior, exterior, and wheels looking sharp.

Zaino all the way! But you can't buy it at autozone. I believe that Autozone does carry Mother's and Poor Boy's products, both of which make good products for auto care. Check the detail forum, you'll get tons of advice there.

But what about products like armor all. Are they actually good for the dashboard? Do they do more harm than good? And I saw some products for the leather seats as well. Need more info on these things.

- Outside: Zaino wash, Zaino Z8 (spray polish) (and Zaino Z2 / CS periodically)
- Inside: Zaino leather cleaner and leather care; every once in a while I'll use a little Armor All low-gloss on the dashboard (once in nine months so far)
- Meguiars' Hot Shine on the tires
- Random products: Sheepskin mitt for outside, have previously used Zymol leather stuff - it also works pretty well)
Good luck!

What about for the bugs? I notices it can be a hassle to completely remove bug stains even with a high pressured water gun. I saw some stuff for this specifically but want some input.

you use only micro-fiber polish towels! Our clearcoat is so soft anything else
will leave scratches/swirls.....I also use Wheelwax on my Volks, it's not a
cleaner but keeps my wheels looking great.

Do you mean for washing, or for drying?
I use a shammy(or however you spell it) to dry. I bought a sponge type thing for the cleaning.
I also bought one of those things to dust off the car. What a POS, and waste of money. It makes the car worse, even with the littlest of dust. I returned it.

Yes that's what I bought. And you are right, instructions say to leave it in open air for about 2 days. I just took it out and started using it. Did you remove the wax/oil the same way, or did you use a faster method?
