Newbie Car Care 101
As a new P-car owner, I'm interested in getting down-and-dirty to get my new ride looking as clean-and-shiny as possible. Could someone either provide me with their thoughts or direct to appropriate articles on:
Any help would be appreciated.
- Paint Care/Polish
- Supple Leather Cleaner/Protectant
- Tire Protectant/Shine
- Black Molding Cleaner (to get them lookin' new)
- Convertible Top Care (if anything)
Any help would be appreciated.

I've got a Ditec paint treatment.
With this, the car got a lot more easy to treat. Did this after owning a black 993 C4 that was stunning when clean, but I had to clean it too often and it took too long to do it.

Thanks, guys.
I've been reading many of the articles at all of those sites.
At the Autopia site, they seem to sell many SONUS products--any opinions (good, bad, indifferent)?
Thanks for tolerating the newbie questions.

Convertible Care
For convertible care I highly recommend RAGGTOPP. You'll have to do a search on the web to find out who sells it, I can't remember where I bought it (I did a web search also).
I never tried anything different, but I recall reading about owners using other products which required masking off the car and requiring 24 hrs to cure. It sounded too involved. As with any treatment, I advise cleaning off overspray before it dries.
