Car Care.....
i just want to know what you guys use to clean your rides and how long it takes in total??
it takes me about 5 hours to clean the entire thing
2 1/2 on the inside
2 1/2 on the outside
i use armor all on everything in the inside and armor all wheel cleaner and tire foam and finish off with meguiars wax.
HARD work but looks damn good when finished.

I've used every possible option out there for tires. I found that stoners, by far, is the best there is for tires. No overspray and drips, it doesn't spit off onto your nicely waxed car when you drive it and it hols a nice shine for at least a couple weeks.

mcguire's 4 step system (or just wax depends on time, and i know i can never spell it right), armor all for the dash panels, armor all leather care for the leather, vacuum, wet towel rub on the headliner.
no brand wheel and tire cleaner. works good so why bother with anything else. i don't use shine anymore since it's gone in 1 day anyway.
takes me 3-5 hours, and 20 minutes on the inside (excluding glass). then another couple minutes painting over all the stone chips
and if needed a wipe of the engine here and there. keep your engine clean, you won't have to wash it (often).
once a month. 3x the interior per month.
