JerrySTL ★ Posted May 2, 2019 Share #3 Posted May 2, 2019 I wax my cars about twice a year. I use Nu Finish which is supposed to be good for a year so I'm way ahead. I like to see the rain bead up on the roof of the car. I have an obsession with clean windows inside and out. I like Invisible Glass for the inside windows and good old Windex for the exterior. I use paper towels on the inside windows and some nice cotton rags on the outside. My first job was working at a full service car wash cleaning the inside car windows. I later graduated to vacuuming and have a shop vac for that also. If you happen to park in my driveway, you might find your windows clean; carpets vacuumed; dash dusted; fluids checked; and even tire pressures adjusted. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groupw Posted May 2, 2019 Share #5 Posted May 2, 2019 I like to use Zymol when I can find it. Met the owner of the company many years ago. I just liked his philosophy and respect for his customers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly that I'm cheap as Windex costs much less than Invisible Glass, yet seems to do a good job on the outside glass. Invisible Glass does a better job on the interior for things like the film which leaches out of plastics and fibers especially on newer vehicles. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info - I might have to try that, 'specially if it lets me lengthen the intervals between interior glass cleanings. Doing the windshield is one of my least-favourite chores ever, and there is a LOT of competition for that spot. :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomguy Posted May 2, 2019 Share #24 Posted May 2, 2019 I used to when I lived in CA and had the Landcruiser. When I moved from there I lost access to a hose, so I stopped. I can honestly say that while I didn't actually enjoy the activity, I was proud to have done it when it was over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted May 2, 2019 Share #27 Posted May 2, 2019 I wash my car about 2x per year. I use Meguiar's Ultimate Wash & Wax and love washing the car with the mitts below. I just dip one into the bucket where I dissolved the Meguiar's in water and slosh it onto the car. I use a plastic bristle brush on the rims and tires, and either micro-fiber towels or sheep skin to dry - when I bother to dry the car: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
