wash & wax

[Hank70SS]

I don't use soap on mine, but then it's not sitting outside and it's not a daily driver. I use a clean micro fiber cloth and warm water. You'd be surprised how easily the micro fiber cloth takes off any dirt or bugs. I tried it once on my black truck, which was filthy, and it looked like a regular soad and water wash. I don't hose down the car, I wipe down one section at a time and dry with an artificial chamois. Works good for me because we have well water. It's hard to hose down the car and dry it without getting water water spots.

Tires I use Simple Green and a small scrub brush to clean them, does a good job on the white letters. I usually don't put tire shine on them because the dust and dirt clings to it. When they start looking a little dull I use Meguires Endurance Shine, lightly.

I tried some of the Meguires waxes but prefer Mothers, easier to remove. Meguires does make some good products for boats, I use them ours, but wasn't that crazy about the car waxes.

Invisible Glass window cleaner is great for windows but it's also good for cleaning bumpers and other chrome. Works good for taking the exhaust stains off the rear bumper or bugs of the front one.
