I've also heard good things about Meguiar's ceramic wax, but I don't know if it's just snake oil.
Thank you! I had a same experience taking my car to a "pro" one time. Never again. One of the reasons I traded my Mini for the Jag was to get AWAY from the black car. It had me ANGRY 95% of the time because it looke dirty so quickly...When I first purchased my Infiniti G37 in 2010, it was a shiny new black. Infiniti was touting their self healing paint. They did not stick with that for long. But...wanting to keep the look right, I set about trying to learn more about car paint care. I grew up washing my parents cars with dish soap from a bucket...so I needed to something better.
I wound up going to Detailed Image. Bing, DuckDuckGo, or Google that company. It will take you to a site that sells all kinds of products. The great thing about this site is the support. They have an ask the pro tab and a detailing guide tab. If you go to the detailing guide tab, it has how tos on everything about car cleaning. The other thing the site offers are reviews of products and you get to see what the pros are using.
I followed their instructions and recommendations for the car wash, exterior detailing, and interior detailing and it kept my G37 looking nice until I had a "professional" do a wax job on it...big mistake there. It looked great when I picked it up, but after the heavy wax came off, swirls were all over the place.
There as one product that they had that allowed you to do a rinse-less wash. This meant with a couple of buckets, you could wash your car in the garage in the middle of winter and stay warm. I liked that one.
No. It's the same plastic most brands use.Sorry to hear that you have a scratch in the plastic. Do you feel that the E-Pace plastic was worse at handling the wear and tear than any other car?
I did find this on the web. https://removeandreplace.com/2014/08/20/how-to-fix-scratched-car-interior-plastic/. Not sure I would be brave enough to try it. Maybe you want to try?
No, I haven't seen that product but I do know anything that creates a wet look sheen will visually make scuffs disappear while the sheen lasts.Dont know if you have had any luck with your scuffs. I saw this product the other day. https://www.detailedimage.com/Einszett-1Z-M46/Plastic-Deep-Cleaner-Plastik-Reiniger-P472/500-ml-S1/. I have not used it, but it might be something to try. It mentions scuffs specifically, but the reviews did not point anything out.
I put in an order for exterior cleaning this weekend. I am going back to the Optimum No Rinse product. This worked great in the past on my black Infiniti.
