im waiting for a turbowax order, so i used my older stuff, i think its called mother F/X. no pre wax, hense the i hate waxing statement i said earlier. but yes usually turbowax pre and wax.

Best wheel cleaner is turtle wax ice wheel cleaner, comes with a brush. its awsome. dont need anything on rim or tire after it always beads, but you know ya gotta put something else on after.lol

lucas oil, spray n wax stuff, cant remember the name. goes on rim. and headlights and paint if im between waxes. and tire shine of course

White looks badass.

I should start a thread on who has the dirtiest car... it's been a good month or so since I gave it a wash. Lately mother nature has been taking care of that.
