Pouring that into bucket: (your choice on size)

Apply by using this: car wash broom... helps pass time quicker or makes it easier to wash the car twice lol

Probably Seasonally you'll want to wax it: carnuba/synth wax first then regular white wax for a good polish

i also use that same glass cleaner on my 300 :gr_grin:

Rubbing alcohol huh? Does it work well? I didn't think that was paint safe.

idk if its paint safe or not... i dab some on a microfiber towel and it takes sap off real well... i only use it because summer time i park at a camp ground and my car gets covered with that. Not sure why i dont use my car cover but i make sure i still quik wax it and all and it still looking clean and sharp for how many miles i've gone and being 5 years old...
still get compliments on how clean it looks and sometimes people amazed its still in 05 lol

I use BND washer fluid to remove grime, when on the go. Before show, I wash with Dawn to remove old wax and grime. Then I use meguiars #7 to revitalize color, then Zaino wax for shine and depth. Finish off with Zaino quick wax spray. I also use zaino tire shine, ZEP foam glass cleaner and Quantum Blue vynil, leather and plastic cleaner and conditioner.

Oh, I also use Quantum Blue anti-corrosion after the the car is cooling down, to remove aluminum rust and give it that dull shine.

Hey, not judging. I'm always open to an easier way to get that "tough to remove" crap off my car that doesn't involve high costs & shipping. I may try it.
