Dude that's excessive! I'm jealous! I only usually get 1 done over the whole car, then I go over the front fascia/hood and rear a 2nd time...as it is my wife says "is it all cars to you? do you talk about ANYTHING else?" :kinky:I felt like saying...you knew that's what I was when we got married! (but I didn't)

I've used it on my truck, wheels were very hazy and it made pulled a nice shine back out of them. It's not a very durable piece, that'd be my only complaint given the price.

I admit to having been tempted by the tv commercials, but after trying a much or different things (brushes, etc) my wife's bought for my wheels, I just wash them like I do the car (although I do them last and with a different mitt so as not to risk get brake dust lodged in the mitt I wash the car with), and dry/polish with the cotton towel that I used to dry the car (after I do the inside of the hood, trunk drain areas, door jams, etc)

To be honest, I actually hate washing the car. I just take it to my local car wash, and let the "undocumented" workers clean it for me. It's a lot easier and quicker.

LOL... I'm more like 95% Go, and 5% Show. haha

But, I still like it looking good, so it gets washed 2 or 3 times per week on average. That's why I am a member of the "Unlimited Car Wash" club... I can get it washed as often as I want for a flat monthly rate. :thumb:

There has to be *some* show... otherwise I would be asking how many 10ths those clear corners save...
