Cleaning the door jambs and sills
I have noticed with most peoples cars the door jambs are dirty and look like they have never been cleaned. I on the other hand clean mine every time I wash the car and I wax them as well. I have even used the clay bar on them. I was wondering if other people wax their door jambs? Or am I just a little too anal about my car.

The DJ's, trunk and hood rails are the last thing I dry, so I apply QD and hit it.....
If they are beyond a QD and need cleaning, I use the 1 Gal sprayer to flush and wash.

I clean 'em, but spray wax is an excellent suggestion. Thanks.

Door Jambs
1.Use P21S Total Auto Wash, dilute the cleaner as necessary, using a damp micro fibre towel go over the door jamb.
2.Take a Swissvax Detail Brush and ensure that you have got into the corners, just lightly brush over it a couple of times.
3.Rinse it off using a wet microfiber towel, and dry thoroughly
4.Use a Carnauba wax or a spray polymer sealant Zanio Z-8 for protection
5.Repeat this process on the other side and carry on detailing the rest of your car
6.Check the hinge / latch lubrication, renew with silicone as necessary
7.Remove dust / dirt from the rubber sleeves and apply Iz einszett Vinyl-Rubber Care'
8.While you are doing this part of the job, also clean the area around the boot lid, hood, and inside the fuel filler flap and access area
9.Don’t forget the door sills / kick plates; once clean and dry, they should be protected by applying a surface dressing to vinyl surfaces and either wax or sealant protection to painted surfaces.
