I agree, I never add squirrels, that's just nuts. But you are correct, good washing techniques is important.

Haha, squirrels! Stupid auto spelling correct strikes again.

I have outdoor parking in upstate NY. What can I do to keep my new to me '09 looking great when I don't have a garage to park it in to work on it? It looks new at the moment except for the rims which I can always replace.
I don't park under trees to avoid sap, etc. I have never waxed a car in my life...willing to learn.

ravpickle....Wet Paint Glaze may be the product for you, check out their site. Others here have, and still use the product. I also use it, just not on my Rav with Zaino.

RTexasF has far more knowledge than I!

Don't know what part of NY your in but in my area I get unlimited car washes for $25 a month from Dec 1 to March 31, with under spray. It's the 11 of Dec and got me 4 washes and will get one tomorrow. I get 10-15 washes a month.

I agree with rob west. Nothing is more simple than this:
Wet Paint Automotive Polishing Glaze: cleans, polishes and protects vehicle surfaces.

Watch the short video at the bottom of the opening page. A combo pack will do a RAV size vehicle about a dozen times, you need only terry towels, easy on & off, cleans, polishes, protects. Works on all non porous, non textured suraces.
