Cleaning your Mustang
Do you wash/detail your own vehicle? If so, what do you use for the interior and exterior? I'm trying to get some tips on how to do things the right way haha 
Gotta keep it looking fresh

I love Mother's Back to Black for the outside black pieces. It actually works well on the interior pieces too.
I use Armor All or Turtle Wax products on the interior. Its usually better to get the spray bottles and paper towels instead of the wipes. IMO, the spray works better.
A random orbital buffer is awesome to have. They aren't very expensive and make a huge improvement.
Tire shine is a must have. It makes such a huge difference to have black shiny tires. A tire brush is good too with some tire and wheel cleaner.
If you have a V6 the textured running board can be a pain to clean. You can use the tire and wheel cleaner and scrub it with the tire brush. Then spray tire shine on it. Makes it look amazing.

For the tires and wheels, I use Black Magic. No sling and great shine. For wax, I use Ice by Turtle Wax but I'm probably going to switch over to Mother's. As for windows- they're my biggest struggle. I'm really interested in ya'lls suggestions for window cleaners that don't streak and what you apply it with, because I've tried an endless amount of cleaners/methods with similar results... streaks!

I used rain-x glass cleaner today.
It seemed to work great on the outside. I didn't read the label so I don't know if its ok to use on the inside.
OP, make sure you use ammonia free glass cleaner on the inside if you have tint.
Ammonia will turn your tint purple.
