Thanks guys.

Yeah, I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but those products turn your paint into show car quality. It's a mirror finish.

And water just keeps beading off.

Real men don't use no stinkin' gloves.

Good write-up. Gotta love Meguiar's products - I go thru several bottles of their Detailing spray each year.

Believe me, you want to use gloves when you are scrubbing with the rim and tire cleaner, that stuff eats up your hands.

Do you wash your car if you know it will rain soon?
