I use Meguires stuff. Another good product is Wolfgang Auto Bathe. Use a microfiber sponge or mit.

I gotta question along with this thread....

What is the best way/solution to realllly clean good where it is nasty between such places as door jams, under trunk, inside the fenders under the hood.

I use Maguires NXT wash normally, but the last time I used this new stuff that I got on a trial from an automotive cleaning website and the stuff is amazing. I need more of it.

For grease removal under the hood I use simple green. For door jams, I just use a soapy sponge, but it they are real bad you may need simple green there too. But, be sure to re-wax those areas. When you wax, use a spray on wax as it is a lot easier to apply in the jams.

Get an Absorber from Wal Mart for drying. You will love it.

And just my little input for the inside of windows...use plain water to clean them. Take your damp absorber and wipe them down first. Then before they get a chance to dry, go over them with a microfiber towel until they dry. It eliminates streaks and the buildup you get from glass cleaner products.

Default Cases of Magiures Stuff

My brother is a big shot with a product placement company. Essentially, they will get your products into movies, TV shows, and music videos if you pay them. They have contracts with companies like Nabisco, Pepsi, Volkswagen, and Google...just to name a few.

One of the bennefits is that companies in an effort to gain favors and show off their products, often times send samples to them. This can include anything from cookies, cars, or even vacations. Maguires just sent them cases and and cases of cleaning supplies and materials to try and give away.

Nope...I don't have any of it....yet. I like Maguires stuff and Barry Maguire is a really nice guy. He is a businessman, but he really believes in his products and loves cars.
