km-04 Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Just like the title says, I want to find products that I use to keep the Journey clean myself. This is my first serious attempt at keeping any of my vehicles more than just washed. My plan is to get it detailed by a local place, then continue with a cleaning regimen myself. All suggestions are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 any one ever use the clay bar cleaning system have been wanting to try but not sure how much labor involved or if it is worth it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtomatoman Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 I have used clay bar on previous vehicles but never my DJ. I have just kept it waxed and clean and I haven't felt the need to clay bar. I have used my clay bar on my DJ windshield though. Clay bar then a good coat of wax on the windshield is pretty awesome for cleaning and making those sticky bugs easy to remove. Peace. 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Kinda like asking what's the best oil or tires...everyone will have their own opinion. I use Croftgate products. They work great IMO. https://www.croftgateusa.com/ Clay bar is a pain in the a$$ to use. It takes awhile. I only use one when I can run my hand over the paint and feel roughness.

Separate Ways Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 From what I understand, all of MOPAR's Automotive Cleaning Products are made by Meguiars, and I guess rebranded......unless they are all special formulas made up by MOPAR, subcontracted out to be made by Meguiars, who knows......

Blacktop16 Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 I have been detailing my cars for 8 years, i have always used mothers products for some good "off the shelf" products. I have since began to use chemical guys for my wash solution and wax/sealent. Check out their youtube channel for how to's and info on products! I still use mothers clay bar, wheel/tire cleaner, tire shine, and interior products, Chemical guys makes a good wash soap and wax but the rest of the stuff is pretty much the same as mothers but more expensive in my opinon! Hope this helps and good luck! Betty B Dodge Journey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 bought some of 303 (30313-CSR) UV Protectant Spray for Vinyl, Plastic, Rubber, Fiberglass, Leather & More – Dust and Dirt Repellant - Non-Toxic, Matte Finish, 32 Fl. oz. seamed kind of pricey but had a lot of great reviews so i gave it a shot and got it off amazon about $20. for a big spray bottle used it inside the journey the other day and i really like it gave a nice coated shine to the dash and trim and wiped down the leather seats, went on easy and dried and wiped off easy great coverage and no missed spots that i got with other products. would recommend it to you all.... jkeaton and Armando G 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only use one when I can run my hand over the paint and feel roughness. I am a believer when it comes to the Croftgate products for ease and speed of use. I was a skeptic but after a free full demo on my very onw RAV4 about 8 years ago I bought into it other than the price. I always shop online for it to get the best price. The Tireshine is great at retaining the shine and appearance even after a rain storm. it repels dust very well also. I have the aquanil and the ware r based version for the wash. use the synthetic shamous for drying. Then hit it if I'm still able with the full aquanil treatment mostly to save on micro fibre towels.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace. i use a Mr. clean eraser with a little Windex on the windshield does a fantastic job getting the road film off of it , never thought to try a coat of wax i did buy some rain x but it seams that when i use the new stuff, when going real slow like a parking lot and very light rain it makes the wipers start to jump or chatter and squeak if it is a heavy rain or using the squirters they dont jump or make noise, so i quit using it as of now .think ill give it a coat of wax and try that.

JhamB Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Anything other than Armor All should be fine. Meguiars and Mother’s are good products! I’ve been using them for years on many cars. Rainx makes a great glass cleaner and water repellent. Anyways Best of luck!
