AtlanticBlue99 · September 17th, 2006, 11:47 PM

i should start doing that then.

as far as washin the car i was it in circles with normal soap and a big sponge. usually i do half of the drivers side then the other half...then hit up the tires and rims. then the front or the rear. while geting the windows the the last side.
i rarely clean my engine. actually today was the second time in 2 yrs

Good tips, you guys.

I use Windex and paper towels for everything.

For the interior, compressed air works great to get the fuzzies out of the carpet.

J/K.

I use a car detergent (at work so don't know the brand), some soft sponges for the body and a coarser one for the wheels and windows.

I spray it off with the good ol' garden hose. I then use a chamme (sp) to dry it. Then I go for the blow dry drive and then the final drip collecting dry off after returning home.

plus one. i use the nex gen quick detailer from meguires a couple times a week and wax once or twice a month. love the blue gloss. it sparkles in the sun and mirrors in the shade.
