What are your favorite car cleaning products.
post suggestions, etc.
Hopefully the snow will be gone for u guys by march this winter.

I use meguar dash cleaner made for plastic, etc, blue bottle with green spray top. (Heard that you shouldnt use armor all on the plastic dashes, it causes fading). I use whatever for the tires (armour all, etc.). Waxes are either turtle wax or meguars. And of course vacuming the carpets and mats. What do you use for your windows?

Heres the start of the cleaning:

Anybody else notice that those before and after pictures appear to be of different cars?

Wipe the engine down after every wash and it is a joke to keep clean.

He must have changed more than the strut bar. The oil fill cap, connectors on the battery, the metal bar on the battery that holds it in place, some of the plastic covers are all different. Look closely and it looks like a different car.

it is not a different car, lol.

All I installed differently is the APR strut bar and battery tie down that it comes with.
As well as a trd oil cap, and a trd engraved metal emblem that i put on the plastic piece that says vvtl-i.
