You guys wash your cars more than once? I use a personally created anti dirt repellant so I never have to wash my car again

I remember when I got my first sports car many years ago my father made a comment about my car being so clean all that the time that dust particles were afraid to get on it.

I've done it quite a few times, it's actually easier to pull the wheels off the car and clean them, than leaving them on. It's too hard to get the inside clean while their on the car.

Sorry op you got nothing on the Junkman ;o)

Rudy@Tirerack · 08-19-2013, 04:29 PM

I've done it before.

IMPERIALBLUE2SS · 08-19-2013, 05:10 PM

I'm guilty , though I don't pull the wheels I will clean what I can reach and backup to get the area blocked by the caliper. I'll take it one step further. When I drive Roxy ( my camaro ) to work ,I actually put it on a lift and wipe the suspension and frame down!! Yes I know I need help!

i spend so much time doing the complete rim and calipers everytime i wash it i often think it would take less time just to take em off. easier for sure

kevinw · 08-19-2013, 08:51 PM

imperialblue. omg, you are definitely OCD.
i had a friend who actually waxed his push lawn mower at the end of the mowing season. wax a lawmower? omg. thats just nuts

My 5th · 08-19-2013, 10:39 PM

I go one step further. Once I remove the wheels I scrub the fender well liner, the shocks and springs the control arms--everything. Hose it all off, THEN I apply Meguiar's natural shine vinyl protectant to the fender liner, makes it look brand new. No, I'm not OCD...wait who moved my salt shaker?!!!

I thought only I was crazy enough to wax my wheels.

Stitch · 08-20-2013, 09:40 AM

Not crazy at all. Only real way to get inner drum.

I take off, clean with this:

Then polish lip with this:

Then wax with this:
http://www.chemicalguys.com/Chemical..._p/wac_303.htm

...then the Forgelines are looking sharp. Just as they should.

wash my wheels everytime I wash the car, INSIDE and out. fenderwells,undercarriage,suspension,everything that I can get a rag on. guess its just piece of mind knowing if im cleaning everything and theres a problem, ill catch it early enough. besides when youre done, you know its clean and that perma grin gets a little bigger

epstein · 08-20-2013, 09:05 PM
