I am happy to share. I don?t use anything special, but here?s a pic and list of all the main products I used so far.
  • Tub O Towels, heavy duty cleaning wipes (these are amazing...one of the most important of all the products...with the pipe cleaners, I can work them into virtually any nook and cranny to get dirt that?s super difficult to reach otherwise)
  • spray bottle with water (for basic clean-up)
  • pipe cleaners (to reach areas that I couldn?t get by hand)
  • detail brushes (for cleaning fine crevices)
  • wire-bristled brush (for caked-on grime)
  • microfiber towels (for plenum and wipe down on every part)
  • Arm & Hammer toothpaste (for cleaning the plenum)
  • Meguiars Ultimate Black Plastic Restorer (not pictured but used on the hoses and plastic parts of the engine bay to give them a rich black finish after having been cleaned with the cleaning wipes)
  • A LOT of elbow grease!!!

More progress on the ZR-1 detailing. I decided to redo the calipers. I stripped them down again and repainted them silver and the brackets black.

For those of us who have been there done that, front suspension bits look great!

The weather has been so incredibly frigid over the past weeks that I haven't been able to get into the garage and work on the Z...but this weekend finally broke way to warmer temps and today I finally made some progress. I detailed the rear suspension. It's a lot of work, but I'm loving it. Here are some BEFORE pics:
