I'm probably gonna go to Walmart in a bit and buy a california duster...

I didnt think it removes the wax. I have been using the Mr. Clean kit for a while now, and i have found that i need to hand wash during the process. I hand wash with Meguiar Crystal Car wash in a bucket. Then rinse with the filtered water. Very minimal spotting, but no excess swirls ( matter of fact, i have no swirls ) in the paint do to hand drying.

Wire RIms?

ok so I might get flamed but I wanted to ask anyways and thought this would be the place to ask it.

I wanna put old school wire rims on my box, and do it up proper lowrider style with the **** and all... thing is a few people have mentioned that as my daily driver, the wire rims would be a pain to maintain.

Anyone know why ? Would it just be trying to get into all those 100s of wires?

I just picked up a California Duster at Advanced Auto Parts. Kinda neat. I'm really amazed at just how much gunk it takes off even when the car still looks good.
I wash with just about any budget priced liquid car wash with a hand mit. Then I wipe windows and body with micro fibre towels. When I finish, I wash the mit and towels in the washing machine prior to the next use. My wife says I'm crazy, but I already knew that!
