Hello,
I'd like to see a good thread on cleaning & care of the car. Given many of the materials are different from most cars, I'm wondering if we need to be careful about what products we use. I'll start with a couple thoughts/questions:
exterior: hand washes preferred, I plan on coating with wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant (this stuff is amazing and I use on all cars) -- http://www.autogeek.net/wg5500.html
wheels: preferably your normal car wash soap, but can use anything with a ph from 5 to 9 (per manual)
tires: please don't use the super high gloss stuff as most are not good for the tire, and will splatter everywhere if you don't let dry long enough. 303 aerospace is once again a winner here!
interior:
tera package
leather seating: leather car care products
eucalyptus wood: ??? manual says to use only a moist rag, but is there something that can better protect this? Should we ever need to oil it?
wierd recycled material in front of dash and alongside windows: can we use a typical protectant on this (303 aerospace, etc)
active wool: once again no clue, I assume just vacuum and wipe and assume it's a typical cloth material.
Any other thoughts/tips on the i3 car care feel free to post. I'm kind of a nerd about this stuff (2 bucket method only!) so look forward to the discussion.
