I use the Foaming Action spray can. Works great

I've used Stoner's and Method glass cleaners in the past, both were decent...but I think for me the big factor when cleaning glass is having the right towels, these are my favorite:

I started using the foaming action and it works amazing with no streaking on single wipe. I also use it around the house. No separate window cleaner for the car and house is always a plus in my book

I use Waffle Weave towels from the Rag Company. They have different sizes

Any thoughts on tire and wheel cleaners to avoid? Specifically cleaners that could damage wheel finish?
i typically slosh some Meguiars in and go to town, and would like to take better care of my new Z from the start, if possible.

Stay away from Dark Fury. That stuff is potent. I believe its just acid in a bottle
That being said, stay away from cleaners that has acid

P&S Brake Buster is good for delicate wheels and maintenance. I switched to Adams wheel and tire cleaner. It does better than Brake Buster for deeper cleaning. After cleaning, I spray a few squirts of Gyeon Wet Coat and rinse off. Helps keep the wheels clean longer and easier to clean on the next wash

I use P&S Brake Buster at the moment, used it today. They do make a heavier duty product.

Car looks good. I been meaning to get a brush to put on tire dressing. My sponge is about to be done for. Paint brush FTW

You talking about the P&S Iron Buster Wheel and Paint decon? That's not cost effective and you dont need to use Iron Remover on every wash

After switching to Adams, its been better for me. Especially on my Fiancé's RX350 that she drives daily. P&S Brake Buster isnt as effective to get the brake dust off compared to Adams

How do all y'all clean under the top of the hatch?

@bpeckham

I use a detail brush and a vacuum to clean up the dust. Then use a wet detail brush around the crevices and a wet microfiber to get the dirt. Then detail spray on a clean microfiber for the final touch

Man, I keep my cars clean, but I see why some of y’all don’t want a black one. You’d have to stop halfway to work to wash it. With your sterile qtips, essential oils, alpaca hair cloths, cleaning the upholstery one stitch at a time. Hardcore!…props though.

Black is meant to be in a sealed glass case. Never to be touched, only admired

McKees37 Hi Def Sealant makes the paint pop

Mine's actually blue with the black roof. It's not so bad actually. However after my last wash, the next day a squadron of bees did a bombing run. Sometimes it makes me wonder why I bother.
