I would encourage all to re-read this carefully. Sorry to say I don't maintain my car in this manner.
It might need some revising I'll have to check

EDIT: I like your sig quote

With one of the recent software updates the system imposed a time limit. The thought process here is that if it is left open indefinitely and then someone goes back and changes an early post, none of the subsequent posts will make sense. I don't know what that time limit is, moderators have the "EDIT" option available at all times so I don't see the screen as you do.

If you do a quote/reply you can highlight what you want edited and rewrite it how you want it and a mod can probably edit it for you.

Idk if it stays only water will get on a dressed tire and waxed wheel... no biggie, especially on the waxed wheel as it's better so water doesn't dry on a bare wheel and leave water marks... I'll revise it soon after I read through everything

Thanks gear for pointing that out

Great posting!.. thanks for spending the time to write all of that up. I would be interested in what you use for the interior (plastic, vinyl) as well as any rubber trim?

Here is what I use.
For plastic and vinyl I use PB Natural Look, for leathre PB Leather Stuff. For rubber trim either trim restore of natural look.


Formerly the "Best Detailer", now just Super Wax Waster Man. Not necessarily tactful, but normally right. It's good to be da King !!!
