    Washing with one bucket warmish water little (and I do mean little) no name dish soap.. One bucket clean cold water rinse. Dry with microfiber towels. Once a month rainX and wax with cheapo c-tire waterless wax spray. Armour All for dash and tire stuff.
    Going to go to a spray wash place to wash out wheel wells and any salt.
    Here is my cleaning kit...

    Rainx is that stuff that you polish your windshield with that makes water run off it. It was on sale for six bucks a c-tire so i though i would give it a try. Water (and snow) are definatley coming off easier...but there are some not so good reviews so beware!

    Good reviews here:
