For the car soap I use (Chemical Guys Citrus Wash & Gloss), I use .5 oz./gallon of water for maintenance washes and 2oz/gallon for paint prep to strip off anything on the surface prior to waxing/polishing.

I use nothing but Zaino. Been that way ever since I first used their wax. Now I use their wash, wax, etc. Over the years I have used just about every major product. All of them seemed to have good results, but nothing like Zaino in my opinion. As for leather care....Leather CPR is the best product I have ever used on leather. I used to have a King Ranch with the un-protected seats and the CPR was amazing. However, it might not be your best bet if you have those little holes in your seat.

Any cloth (washing, drying, etc) that touches your paint should be a good microfiber. Any car wash soap will do the trick. Meguiars is fine. Also pick up a Meguiars clay kit. After a wash and dry, the clay will further clean any contaminants from the clear coat. Great stuff, easy to use. You should clay 2-3 times a year. Polishing/swirl removal is up to you depending on if your paint needs it. For wax, it really doesn't get any better than Collinite, that stuff is amazingly durable.
Where did you happen to get yours?
