Supplies for cleaning my G
I just got an 08 G37S and am heading to the Auto Supply store tonight and wondering what should I purchase? I've never had such a sweet ride before and what to know how to take care of it. Soap? Towels? Leather Cleaner? Interior spray? Thanks for any help you can give me.

Soon you'll find that MF towels are your best friend! Don't use chamois, paper towels, and stay away from Armor All. As many members here recommend, head to detailedimage.com or autogeek.net for quality care products.
I own a Black G37 and when I bought it, I thought it looked shiny. But then noticed swirls everywhere... I did paint/color correction and brought back the depth and true gloss of our cars. It is a PITB to keep a black car looking good, but it's very rewarding when done right.

Optimum No Rinse, two buckets, one or 2 grit guards, 2-3 micro fiber/chenille/sheepskin mitts, water, waffle weave towles, optional leaf blower (thanks black betty), and time out of your schedule.
Of course, you'll probably have to order some of this online.
Leather conditioner & vacuum for the interior I guess?

To keep it simple...
Starting out, I'd go for two orange buckets from home depot (cheap), a jug of meguiars gold class car wash from costco (cheap), get a microfiber wash mit or two, and some large waffleweave microfiber towels for drying the car. You may be able to get these type of mits and waffleweave towels at the auto supply store.
One bucket has regular water and the other has the soap water. You'll dunk the wash mit into the non-soapy water first to get rid of dirt/sediment, then into the soap water and onto the car.
As for your leather, i'd get a damp cloth with just water first and get the dirt off the seats. Dirt is our #1 enemy because it wears off the urethane color coating of the leather. Putting any moisturizing product on the seat without getting the dirt off first will do more harm than good IMO.
