When I had my car, I would litteraly spend at least 2-3 hours washing,cleaning, detailing, filling fluids on the car...

nothing beats driving a clean car..:D
 
Here's my list of basics and must haves:

- good car wash soap
- the absorber
- microfiber towels, and not the cheap stuff from the $store.

Process is 90%, 10% is products, everyone keep that in mind.

No, but you can also use it to rid your headaches too ! I'am not kidding ..LoL

Dishwashing soap is good if you are going to polish the car and want the wax stripped !, but don't use it if you just going to wash it with no waxing afterwards.
 
The $ store in Rockland shopping centre is selling their stuff for 88cents :eek1:
:D:D
Lets do a meet :)
