Tooth brush and 91 isopropyl alcohol. detail with cotton swabs and toothpicks. use rubber or leather conditioner on the leatherettes. Chemical guys tire shine (the blue one) works well for vintage gear. Lens cloth to polish the plastic, micro fiber for the leatherettes. ROR lens cleaning fluid and Kim wipes for the glass.
I prefer chemical guys wax. That way you'll have at least 6 months of only having to push dirt off your car with water
I like Blacklight as a sealant.
I took some of the Chemical Guys "tire kicker tire shine" , sprayed on the pad and put a coat on all 4 tires. I drove for another week. Few days ago I was cleaning the car, and noticed the black tire splash marks on the lower part of the bumper. I wiped it off and noticed yellow stains underneath. I tried cleaning it for 30 minutes with everything I had, soap, clay, rubbing compound, tar remover, etc. Nothing worked. I then ended up going to my last resort and sanded the clear coat of the spots with 1500 grit sand paper, followed up 2500 and 3000 grit. I used the rotary buffer to cut and buff and bring the shine back. I was able to get them out completely. After extensive research on this I found out few facts: -Do not use petroleum (oil) based tire shine at all on white cars, it will stain your paint at some point. Only use water based tire shine (its more matte) -It was the chemical reaction of tire anti mold agent and petroleum tire shine that caused the stains. -It comes off metal painted pieces, its only plastic painted pieces that get stained (bumpers)
