Im sure you all knew this but....

i found the lazy mans way to keep da ride shiney as all getup

wash and wax really good on the weekend (thats what i do on saturday)

around tuesday (through saturday) when its kinda dusty and not shiney do this

buy a 3 pack of Microfiber Z-wipe towels from pep boys for $6

buy some good auto glass cleaner $5

get a squirt bottle and fill it with water $2


squirt the truck with the water and wipe off with one towel, one area at a time....squirt the glass and wipe with another towel with the glass cleaner, squirt chrome rims with the glass cleaner (make sure its safe on chrome) and wipe off with the third towel and youre in like Flynn.....i do this whenever its a bit dirty and leaves my truck lookin the cleanest around....i LOVE microfiber!

Bust out the california car duster and get all the dust off of it before the dew gets to it and its stays pretty clean

I have been doing that for about 12 years. I am anal, so if I washed my truck every time it needed a quick clean-up I would have to wash it about every day. No thanks. I wash & wax it once a week, but every nice day in between I take the Cali car duster & quickly go over it. I then use a good glass cleaner to spray & wipe. Then re-apply tire dressing. It takes about 10 minutes & the shine is awsome.
