I used this rain-x anti-fog stuff on my windshield and rearview. The following day it rained like mad. So humid I wanted to die. Not one single fogged spot on the treated areas. Awesome. I hate that fogging.

check out autopia.org its a site that caters towars auto detailing. Lemme tell u the info youll find out here about cleaning your car is amazing. Ill never take my car to another car wash forever all your doing is paying $4 to get your paint damaged. Youll become a clean freak after viewin this site a while. By the way I use a supersoft lamp skin mitt to wash using 2 seperate buckets to rinse it out (1 with soapy h20 & 1 with plain water). Meguiars scratch x swirl remover & then meguairs gold glass wax. And dry it off with microfiber towels, there very soft and dont scratch. The car looks great afterwards but its black and gets dirty the next day :devious:. Oh yea I also clay the car it gives the paint that showroom mirror finish.

i use car wash soap and water mixed with some all purpous cleaner. Wheel acid or some all purpous cleaner spray for the wheels. And dry it off with a water obsorber or a shammy. Dont use rags they suck. Dont let the water set or it will leave water spots. Then i do the windows with foaming window cleaner

I go to a car wash close to the columbus outer belt and after i am done i just take the car out for a nice drive and that always gives me a spot free finish.

unless ofcourse i hit traffic on the way to the highway then i get pisse dbut it works out ok most of the time.

that should be good for the occasional wash but when you want it to look superb leather chamois are the best

Meguiar's products. Nuff said; left the Sonata looking like new both inside and out! :evil:
