Just a stupid question....

What is everyone using to wash there cars and the rims???

I want a good wash that will bring out the sparkle and the shine (sorry for sounding kinda gay lol).

For the rims has anyone tried any of those spray and wash deals???
 
Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash with a sheepskin mit.

Meguiar's Wheel Cleaner
 
I've played around with many MANY washes/waxes/polishes. I won't name waxes and polishes since he just wants a good wash on the car to bring out the bling bling.

Go with the Rain-X car wash with carnuba wax balls in it. It's blue and you can see a lot of the wax balls floating around in it. Use this as it is the bets stuff I have ever seen.

Then buy that Meguiers spray-on-wipe-off wax. You spray it on all over your car after you washed it and it's still wet. Then you take your shamy and just wipe all the water off like normal. You will have to use a little more elbow grease and go over the same spot a couple times but the end result is worth it all and of course use a wash mit when cleaning any car. Trust me everyone I showed this too is like WOW!
 
My washing methods.

Based on alot of advice from this board i compiled a pretty good washing method that works well.

For the interior I use armor all with a micro fiber towel and a scorpion dirt devil mini vac that I bought at wall mart and is very powerful.

First thing I do on the exterior of the car is the rims. I bought a wheel scrubber thats similar to a brush and I use that with dish soap to scrub my rims. I then spray on Meguairs wheel cleaner on the tire, let it sit for about 30 seconds and wash it all off.

Next I use two buckets one for rinsing with meguairs gold class soap and one for soaping and i go over the car front, left side, back and right side washing and rinsing off as I go.

For rinsing I go over the hood and top of the car with a california water blade cause for those parts of the car it gets the water off real fast, I then go over the entire car with a water sprite usually ringing it out after each area and finally i go over the entire car with a microfiber tower to get any water i might have missed. I did this mostly in the dark last night so i couldnt reall se the results till this morning. But there is not one water spot and the car looks awesome.
