hi all -
i have a relatively new 4runner that i wanna give a good wash 'n' wax to. i thought i'd see what people like to use.
wash
i just use this generic stuff from costco. it has detergent in it so i don't use it right after i wax, but after a while (when i figure the wax has worn off) i go back to it.
wax
i use a glaze polish from the wax shoppe. i love it cuz it doesn't leave any caked residue in the nooks and crannies.
windows
i use this stuff from armor all. it's the only one i've found that doesn't streak - works great!
wheels
right now i'm using some silicone spray (eagle 1??) that seems to work pretty well. it leaves a nice semi-shiny finish on the tires. for the wheels themselves i use the spray stuff (to loosen/remove brake dust) and one of those funky wheel brushes. even though they say no scrubbing i do it anyway.
interior
armor-all. yeah, i know some people don't like it, but i've been using it for years with great success.
btw - i think there's some product here that people like (zainol???) but when i searched it didn't come up.
and finally...yes, i'm trying to kill time.
thx!
