Hey guys,

I drive with the top down a lot and I keep a swiffer in my center console to pick up dust in the interior between drives. It seems to work great. Does anyone else do this, and are there any potential problems?

Also what's the best wheel cleaner, soap and water?

And, what's the best method for cleaning your windows. I heard something about vinegar and newspapers or something. I bought "professional's favorite: No more streaks" from discount. No directions, put foam all over my windshield, and IMO didn't do such a great job. How do you use this stuff? Should I use this stuff?

Thanks

I don't keep a swiffer, but rather a MF towel and 303 w/ some meguiar's leather wipes.

I use a generic spray and wash off wheel cleaner. .Stuff like gunk, meguiar's wheel cleaner. (pink bottle) I apply 303 and sometimes zaino on my rims afterwards if there's time.

As for cleaning windows, I've tried many products and tend to use almost any Car Glass Polish on the shelf.

I've used a swiffer, but I like the Softoss (a disposable microfiber) a bit better. More "multifunctional" as well.

My best-selling wheel cleaner (and my favorite) is the P21s Gel.

The best glass cleaner (and is safe for tinted windows) is Invisible Glass with a lint-free microfiber.

Good luck!

you can use newspapers and/or vinegar... but imo, there are plenty of great glass products out there-
as long as you have a good protectant on the interior, you can use a duster or gently wipe with mf to get dust and light grime.

Oh yeah...Another really good glass cleaner made by Zep Mfg. Make sure you get the aerosol type. I'm pretty sure it's called Zep #40. I think Home Depot carries alot of Zep products.
