I hate to say it but we just moved into a house that is on a dirt road. I need some tips on keeping my car as clean as possible. I know the basics like drive slow and things like that. Does anybody know any good tire shine or cleaner that dirt wont stick to.. I just need a few tips..

Not really man...
1. pave the road or 2. put on some old rims drive down the drive way then swap on your good wheels on... samething on the way back

Trust me... I feel your pain. This is my car kept all shiny even through rainy Seattle weather, driving on a mile-long mud/grass road every day:



see, all shiny...


I use Eagle's tire shine (it's a spray on, but I use a tire swipe applicator) and the dirt road never seemed to mess it up.

But the single best tip I have for you is to first, do one hell of a detail job on your car, wash/dry, paint cleaner, polish, and then 2 coats of a heavier wax (my personal fav brand is Meguiar's) - then go out and buy the California Car Duster (or similar product) to keep in your trunk and just give the car a quick rub down once you're off the dirt road. Trust me, works like a charm. Only costs about 20 bucks at Target and it beats having to wash the car every week.
