Good stuff. Personally, I use Mr. Clean Auto Dry. Works like a charm. I also give my wheels a good rub down every couple days because there's so much brake dust, and I have white wheels. I also use Armor-all Tire Foam about once a week to keep my tires looking nice and shiny.

Speaking of wheels......As everybody knows, wheels do get dirty real quick ( especially the lead footers out there ) and its a pain in the *** to keep cleaning them all the time even when your car was just cleaned. Well Tire Rack for one does offer a "wheel wax" to protect your wheels like your paint. I have always been telling people to use any cheap liquid wax which i foudn to work the same way.....Now just today i had a local marine supplier who sell this stuff to other dealers come to see me with a product that you can actually apply to the WHOLE car....Not only is this for the wheels, you can put it on "like" a wax but a type of polymer to the paint and the glass ( like rainx ) and he said it lasts for roughly 4 months......They started using this stuff on marine hulls near the exhaust pipes as the fiberglass got smoke stains and was a B to clean, and for jet planes in the same exhaust areas. Now stupid me, i forgot the danm sample at work and the name of this product but i will post it on here tomorrow and prices for you guys to think about if you wanted it. B
