Junkman's "How to Avoid Getting Polish/Wax Inside Your Seams & Cracks"

Just as the thread says, watch and learn.





In this next video, I am washing the wheels on the Vette with soap and water. Look at how dirty the water is after cleaning 3 of the 4 wheels. All of that dirt came off the wheels and wheel wells using nothing but soap and water. For folks who have to use anything more than soap and water, you need to learn how to wash your wheels more than once a month. Then they will come clean a LOT easier. That's not rocket science, that's just common sense.

Save your money and quit buying unnecessary cleaning supplies!

Notice that as I wash a car, I keep the entire car wet as I go. That eliminates the possibility of water spots.

The group that you hear is Ladysmith Black Mambazo. You may remember them from Paul Simon's Grammy Award winning album "Graceland". The first song, "Chapter One: Passage to Promise" is done in collaboration with Andreas Vollenweider. I use to really enjoy his music back in the 80's. The second song "Rain, Rain, Beautiful Rain" is Ladysmith singing acapella, as they usually do.

after watching the nice tire cleaning, I felt like drinking a cold rum drink with a little umbrella in it.

Great vids.

I do have to thank you JM. When I first got my camaro back in Dec '09, I really wanted to 'learn to do it right'. I watched A LOT of your videos and gained a lot of knowledge from reading on this forum. Seeing you do it, and me getting to courage to polish/correct with a buffer was a giant step for me. I owe that to mainly to you, and other here. Now if I see a mark in the clearcoat, I don't freak as much, I get my equipment out and "take care of it".
