What have you guys found to be the best product to clean your 1LE? What do you use to clean the hood wrap? I have heard Adams VRT? I hear Adams is a great product to clean the car with. Does anyone else have a different opinion. What you you use to clean the splitter and wheels with? Also what have you found to be the best window cleaner? What about wax?

I've used just regular car wash on the hood, wing, car, etc.

I normally use a good Carnauba wax. There is a great article / video for maintaining vinyl I will post once I find it again.

A really good carwash and dry as quickly as possible to keep any water spots from staining the wrap. going to car shows, I use Croftgate products on the car.

I only use Adam's on my car. I use Adam's VRT on my 1LE hood. Looks good and helps protect it. I use Adam's carnauba wax as well, best stuff in my opinion.

I used the VRT for the hood , front spoiler and wheels

Should post this to the detailing section. Lots of knowledge there.

Adams is always a good go to company when it comes to detailing

Chemical guys makes a Matt detailer that works good on the hood wrap. As far as Window cleaner, I use Rain X cleaner and treatment. Comes in a spray bottle at Walmart and the water just rolls right off.

Another vote for Adam's. Best supply around IMHO.
