Dont park under trees.

Dont park on main roads.

Dont follow trucks, trailers, or anything with a mitsubishi badge.

Quick rinse off and chamois or just a static dusting every day makes it look perfect for the next day.

Car cover at night. Even in a garage.

Silicone spray is the best one for tyres. Forget the rest.

Clean wheels + glossy tyres + clean glass = the biggest difference, if youre too busy/slack to do the rest.

It all depends on how you want to be seen, really... and mine are always chauffeur-driven standard.

Amazing as it may seem, MR SHEEN does a cracking job of dash, tyres, plastic, leather and chrome. Used it on my last few cars with amazing results!!

And no im not talking about charlie. I dont want my car to end up looking like a cheap ho covered in crack...

i use mothers products on the r.3 step polish,california gold range.clay bar is good.megs non acid wheel cleaner brings up the stockies like new and gets off cat piss and brake dust alike.also resists dust build up.hard to get a deep lustre on sonic silver but get glass like finish.NEVER USE ARMOUR ALL. just my experience.tyres,mothers protectant or silicone black.protectant doesn't make tyre glossy,rather new looking.and is good for any black plastic/rubber bits on car.my 2c.i think you get what you pay for.swissvax rock crystal wax is bout'$1500 a tube if you're cashed up.(or insane).

I prefer dark colour cars.. they're more rewarding to detail And guys like WaxIt or CarCareProducts will probably hate me, but you don't really need to be spending hundreds of dollars on Swissvax products to get a nice result, it's all in the prep-work and maintenance.

awesome results there Howie

[Jap_star]

looks good. I used a clay bar when i first bought the car. since then it gets washed once a month or so.

[Fliggy]

All I use is a hose, shammy and a little kiss on the bonnet and a nice stroke of the Varex exhaust. Nah I use what ever the detailer at work uses or what everyone else has on them at car shows (even though i've only been to one car show)
