Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

tips needed lol.

honestly i've only ever clayed it once and waxed it by hand once. i don't have a orbital polisher or anything, but i really need to clay polish and wax it again. local detail shop wants $220+ so idk.. need products good for use by hand but with great results. and not expensive.
just whatever you suggest
 
I will say that hands down, my favorite interior detailer is Black Magic. It cleaned up my old oxidized blazer dash with wonderful results. I sprayed it on heavy and rubbed it in by hand. I let is just soak into the dash. After a couple hours I ran back over it with a clean towel. It softened the vinyl and brought back the deep color and shine.
 
Well what kind of results are you looking for? If you are trying to remove scratches its going to be hard without a buffer which can be picked up at harbor freight for cheap 35.00 was what I paid for my last one I have been using for a year now. But if I were you what I can suggest would be Meguiars ultimate compound can apply by hand and it's gets good results then I would use Meguiars ultimate polish then top it off with Meguiars mirror glaze synthetic sealant 2.0 looking at about 40.00 all together and never thought I would judge car soaps but Meguiars ultimate wash is the best soap I have ever used so far. As far as Personal home use products Meguiars ultimate all the way. It's just that these products become expensive when your doing 2-3 cars a day I have other stuff that works wonders but expect to pay 20.00-80.00 a gallon
 


I found a cheap substitute for headlight lens coating. It's easy to remove the yellowing and clouding from old plastic headlight covers, but if you don't re-coat them they will start re-clouding right away. Almost a year ago I bought a can of Rust-Oleum Triple Thick Glaze. It's clear laquer for pottery etc. Since it said non-yellowing, glossy and indoor/outdoor use, I decided to take a chance on it instead of the more expensive headlight coating kits.
It goes on thick and has a slight blurring appearance like glass block. But because it's so thick, it can be sanded and buffed heavily as you like.
It's been almost a year and there is no trace of yellowing or clouding. I park inside which helps, but still no change all this time is good enough for me.

I personally like Adams Polishes for most things because the products are simple and they work, they don't offer 10 different products that do the same thing with little differences like auto geek or some other companies do. People will always have their personal preference but the only thing I would highly advise against is armor all
