I always thought Armor All would dry out your trim. For trim, i like using Aerospace 303.
It has silicon in it, which is bad for leather as it absorbs oils, but plastic nor vinyl need worry.

wax questions
A friend of the family once told me that I should never use any wax that had silicone in it because it would bond to the paint. Anyone else hear this?

Anyone know how to get rid of a hazy spot on the paint? Not sure if its oxidation doesn't have the texture but it looks crappy. might just be the 13 year old paint fading. I'm about to try buffing it with rubbing compound to see if I can restore the shine.

Man, I'd so do this to my truck, but the primary roads I drive on right now are in the process of being torn up by idiot road construction crews trying to justify their jobs and budget, and there's so much crap in the air, that I have to spray my windshield 2 or 3 times while driving through the stretch.![]()

I went to the ocean for a week and during the stay salt-water mist bedded into the paint and glass.
For the paint I am able to use rubbing compound to work out the salt stains. With the windows vinegar and water doesn't work.

Great thead OP, good work.
EDIT: Quick question, what do you say to using a leaf blower or shop vac to dry the car "touchless" as opposed to a towel?

I have a question in regards to paint, it's somewhat related to the detailing:
I noticed that I have very fine, spiderweb-sized cracks in my paint. When I am wiping the hood down for instance after a clay bar, the microfiber towel seems to get caught in them, however no rust has formed in them. They are very very small cracks, but seem to cover almost my entire hood. I have tried to avoid rust and what-not getting in them by making sure that I wax twice a year and put a layer of polish 4-5 times a year.
It has been like that ever since I got the car. It's a '96 Mazda. I only notice it on the front hood. If I wax and polish the hood up enough the microfiber towels won't get caught on the tiny cracks. They are literally thinner than a strand of human hair, very very small.
