What do you wash your car with?
When I clean the Cutlass Ciera, or any car (other then Fords, they get the cheep stuff) I use a bunch of different car cleaning stuff.
I use Meduiar's Gold Class Car Wax and car wash, The california duster, armor all orig. wipes (for the inside, and the vinyl roof) simple green (will clean any engine, any carpet stain, just about anything), westlys white wall cleaner, turtle wax chrome polish, and egale vision 20/20 or rain x window wash.

Well I either use the local Quarter wash (man I love that place) then when I get home I usually put on a coat of Turtle Wax: spray on wax and I ploish the chrome with Never Dull and I hit the interior with Armor All and the tires with Vynlex (it looks like cheap stuff but on the tires it works perfect if not better than anything else I ever used. If I can't get up there, or if I'm feeling cheap, I use the Turtle Wash and Wax in 1 stuff and then I polish my chrome and clean the interior.

i use whatever car wash detergent is cheapest. armor all wipes on the dash sometimes. Wesley's Vinyl Top Luster for the top. The Wet Look spray for the tires. when i do wax it i use 3M products. seems to be the only stuff that lasts. 3M superfine rubbing compound works great too. had to compound my new trunk lid and fender to death to get them to match the rest of the car. right now the outside of the car hasn't been washed since november but the inside is pretty clean.

Wow 86Delta, you havent wahed your car since November! I was my Olds, and my Dads Civic AT LEAST 2-3 TIMES A MONTH! The Civic's paint is so reflective that you can read almost anything it the paint, and the Olds can do almost the same. The Civic has 11 coats of wax (in the last 12 months) and the Olds has 3 (I've had it about 1 month) I guess I do get very into washing the cars.

hey 85. it's been either raining, snowing, freezing or i just haven't had the time or interest and i don't go through car washes because of the vinyl top.

Mothers mag and aluminum polish on rims and aluminum pieces, Race Glaze or 3M perfect it 2 car polish on the paint, Number 7 chrome polish on all chrome, Armor All in a spray bottle on a rag for the tires and interior (no wipes). Occasionally I will use Meguilars car polish in a pinch, but no product made by Turtle Wax will EVER touch a car of mine.

I always use MEGUIARS GOLD CLASS!!! it ROCKS! I do my whole car every 2-3 months with a full wax job, more often when I'm not so lazy... I never use armor all though... I've heard horror stories from many... Not quite sure if thery're true... but I also didnt like the way armor all streaks if you're not paying complete attention to what you're doing... I use this meguiars vinyl interior "dressing" that seems to work wonders. Smells a lot better than armorall too!
