What's in your CAR CARE ARSENAL?

Just want to see what everyone uses to care for their babies.... Here's my list...

MOTHER'S
-Back to Black (to make the black parts shine)
-Chrome Polish
-Clay Bar (gets those nasty spots out)

Meguiar's
-Gold Class Wash
-Mirror Glaze Swirl Remover (for the fine swirls)
-High Endurance (the BEST tire treatment ever!)
-Endurance Vinyl Protectant

3M
Just started using this stuff. Switched from Meguiar's High tech Yellow Wax...
-Wax (i can't remember the name of it. its a synthetic. goes on great!)
-Swirl Remover for Dark Cars (once again i can't remember the exact name.)

Misc
-Westley's Wash & Wax (i've yet to find a GREAT car wash)
-Stoner's Invisible Glass (amazing! it does a great job!)
-Simple Green (you can clean anything with this! i use it on spills, to clean my engine and even to get stains out of my clothes!)
-TurtleWax Bug & Tar Remover (good stuff)

I think that's it.....

Now whatcha got?

Oh yeah, i use Fantastic to clean the vynil surfaces, then follow with Formaula 2001 (Armor All bad) or Back to Black. I use Blue Coral carpet cleaner and Scotch Guard religiously. I use my various colognes to scent if I need it, or Illusions "CK" scent when necessary.

I use Q-Tips to clean vents and apply 2001 or Mothers when polishing "crome accents".

I easily have 200 terry towels, you know, the ones sold in 6 packs for like $3

I also went to Target and got a whole bunch of "designer towls" for cheap, only to dry the car with.







OK I'm done

I can relate to that one! I have a box full of white terry cloth towels for waxing & such. Then some dark blue towels for drying(so I don't get that white lint every where).

no no no, i don't wash it that often because everytime i was and clean it it has to rain or snow. the other reason i don't wash it too often is that i have some rust spots on it and when i wash it i make it worse.

Outside of Dayton, in Centerville (near the Dayton Mall). Yeah it barely snowed hear and the streets are covered in salt. It comes up in a cloud as people drive through.
