what cleaners do you use?

just wondering what kind of cleaning product everyone uses. if there are any products that you really like.
tires:bleche white(works great especially if you have white lettering), armor all with tire applicators(contoured foam)
rims: orange blast i think it's called -works great
wash:cheap stuff(bulk) and occasionally meguirs clear coat wash(comes in a small container)
dry: california wiper blade (great especially for tonneau) and or shammy (i know its spelled wrong i dont care)
wax: zymol liquid
glass: armorall glass cleaner and newspaper (i like armorall better than windex cuz armorall doesnt drip much when you spray it on.

Re: what cleaners do you use?

I use Zymol for the wash, and a guy here told me about Liquid Glass. My ole ride's paint was
oxyidized pretty bad. I washed it, then dried. I used some Turtle wax polishing compound to
get almost all of it off, then applied some Liquid Glass to it..Christ it pulled the paint back out
looks pretty good for a ride that's 12 yrs old..

That Liquid Glass ain't cheap, but does it ever restore damaged paint !

Re: what cleaners do you use?

Wash: Meguiars Gold Class soap
Wax/Polish: Meguiars deep Crystal 3 part system
Tires: Son of a b1tch liquid in squirt bottle and then applied with a paint brush. (Excellent for applying it exactly where you need and it won't overspray on your wheels.)
Glass: Armorall window cleaner
Plastic interior/rubber trim: Meguiars rubber and vinyl cleaner

Re: what cleaners do you use?

super clean works good for under hood and tires and any other hard part
just try to keep it off the body because you can take off paint if it sits to long.
