here is another towel one...

Proper detailing towels will make any detailing job a breeze, _______ recommend high grade microfiber towels with 70/30 blend like Monsters Towels 16x16 the best!

Maintianing your wheels finish while mazimizing shine is easy. Start by cleaning wheels first. Applying a quick coat of RIMWAX bi-weekly will help reduce brake dust by 50% while enhancing and maintianing your rim and wheel finishes for years to come.


now your turn...
Would be interested in some of your before and after shots...

and no reflecto shots...direct sunlight and or with a brinkman.

Always better to back your work up while pushing an agenda.

For King Ranch owners, use Leatherique on your seats. It's the best thing for open-pore leather. Don't use it on the coated leather, though.

Next time you clay your paint, clay your windows too. worked great for me and this may be trivial but the rainX seemed to last longer.

Don't get a black truck.

Dryer sheets also help keep mold out.

Do you use this wet or dry... and let it sit then wipe off.. or use the sheets to actually wipe off?

You can use these wet, the actual dryer sheet itself. Here is a link of others using them.

In the search function type in "dryer sheets" Click on the Greatest bug remover" thread. There is also a picture of a caddy getting wiped down with this method. I had to re-read this myself.

Nope. The Caddy in that thread was NOT wiped down with a dryer sheet. It's was cleaned with PBs Bug Squash.
