Armor All wash and Wax soap. "           "   interior wipes. "           "   Foaming tire shine (its in an aerosol can and cleans + shines. amazing!) Armor All non amonia glass cleaner. With that cocktail, a good sponge and scrubber, microfiber cloths to dry, your car will look amazing. _____________________________ Neah... (in reply to GSXPimp) Post #: 7
