Cleaning/washing tips?

[NickfromSD]

This is my first brand new car, and i'd like to keep it looking brand new as long as possible. Redundancies aside, what are some good tips on keeping the paint and windows pristine? How about the interior plastic & fabric of the EX model? I've noticed the door fabric and center console fabric are already showing signs of chalky/flakey skin and dirt/dust. What is the best way to remove and avoid these kinds of scuffs in black fabric?

Looking for recommendations on cleaning products as well. I got an armor all gift pack for Christmas, but after a little research online; the general consensus is that armor all is crap. What do you guys think about meguir's products?

Lastly, A tree by my driveway drops some sap-like substance on my car. its not noticible on my paint, but definitely noticible on my windshield. What is the safest way to remove this stubborn stuff? Windex isn't really doing anything.

Best tip I could give you is go watch the videos of PanTheOrganizer from YouTube. The guy is great and give so many tips and also says what to buy.

Agree with @McDavid on PantheOrganizer. He’s a trip. I like his YouTube videos. And yes, don’t use any Armorall products. They suck. If anything, I like the Meguiars wipes for the interior. And also the CG nonsense spray for upholstery. As far as the tree sap, not sure if you can use a clay bar on it or not. But I’ve clay’d my car and sometimes it can be a PITA or easy detailing. I’ve noticed when your car is clay, any products you use, you get better results. Good luck ??
