Dirt road...


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..

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.
