Car cleaning products

Hi I just got my new x1 this week. I wanted to know if you guys have any recommendations for leather cleaning and protection as well as exterior car washing kits / soaps you use to clean it.

Not sure where you are based but my choice of products are the Autoglym products.

For the external, twice a year I clay the car and then use their HD Wax and that gives it nice shine and helps to keep it easily maintained using snowfoam .

I've always used Adams Polishes car shampoo to wash my cars. This stuff is the best. I can wash in direct sunlight and I never have a single water spot. Their leather cleaner is awesome too. I did a paint correction on mine and maintain it with Adams paint sealant. In between I use their H20 Guard/Gloss every few washes to keep the paint slick and super glossy. I've had mine 4 years and it still looks brand new.

I use Chemical Guys products and some from Meguiars. You can buy both of them from Amazon. I've been using them for the past 3 years with excellent results.

Go to https://www.chemicalguys.com/ for more information.

I use Gyeon products for both external ceramic protection and leather cleaning and protection products. They've been awesome so far. Carpros products are awesome as well. They are def a step up from most off the shop product.

Any major brand is fine, especially if it is on sale at Canadian Tire.
