I just got a used s and want to bring out its original beauty.

so far, all i have done is amourall the interior plastic.

what shouldi use on leather? whats the best way to protect it?

are there any products that i can use on the soft top to remove some dirt, or just soap and water?

i plan to do the exterior like this:
lightly powerwash the outside to remove the major dirt,
rinse with soap and water (dish soap ok?)
use clay bar to restore the top coat
polish with a 7" air buffer at a slower speed
wax the paint. im thinking turtle wax ice or eagle 1 nanowax to elimnate the residue. is that a good idea?

also, what should i use on aftermarket wheels? i want to get the bar tire shines for my tires, but i have black and chrome rims that i dont know what to do with.

i also want to give the engine/ bay a good cleaning. what are somethings to try safely on the metal and such in there?

also, is there any things i can do to the carpet in teh trunk other than vacuum to try and remove some dirt an so on.?

thanks in advance for any help

Click on the link below and follow the steps. Sorry, but this is a lot easier than telling you everything and nicer than saying just search.
