Well, everyone has their opinions & w/ my limited time, I'm going to look for something faster and easier... I haven't done much to keep the xB clean so far, but I can tell you what I did w/ the tC - I stripped off anything that could have been on there w/ Dawn (dishwashing liquid), then used a clay bar to knock off any debris, then used Zaino. The Zaino is a two step process, first Zaino product you use to prep and help the second one work. After that, it was upkeep and washing with a Mr. Clean AutoDry washer... I didn't like buying the filters, so I would towel dry, but the soap dispenser and sprayer still worked well. I used that for a while until I got the Zaino wash. The towels I use are all white 100% cotton made in the US. Anything else will have dyes or foreign particles that can scratch your paint. I really need to get new towels though. Oh, and when you wash them, use plain liquid soap, since fabric softener can defeat the purpose...

Like I said though, all that was a pain, so I'll need to keep an eye out for a better/easier wax and maybe change to microfiber towels....

I can vouch for microfiber towels. They left my car spotless  This is very important as I can only go to self-serve carwash places.

I was lucky that my friend was selling me about 20 towels for 3 bucks, because he bought a pack of, I can only guess, godly number of towels at Costco and he doesn't use them all....

i have been trying smartwax products that i received as a gift from my dealership and they are good products!

you can use the wax on the black on the doors, around the front windows and even on the glass!

the smartwax is easy wax on / wax off and the smartdressing works really nice on the wheels - here is a pic after last detail:

We are having our January thaw in NE Ohio, today was 67 degrees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Now, that is a big deal for us and I took advantage of the warm weather to wash, wax and clean the inside of the xB.  This if the first time I tried a micro-fiber towel to dry off and apply/remove the wax, they do make a big difference. 

It will rain tomorrow so I will just have a short time to admire the shine!!!!!!!!!!!

I am the same way can only go to self serve washes. I use the COstco microfibers as well they work great. They were 14.00 for 36 of them.

As for cleaning it I am at the car wash once a week in the evening when the sun is going down. It takes an hour or so to get it looking sparkling clean and shiny, but it is so worth the time. Plus I think my wife likes me getting out of her hair for a couple of hours.

Thats good to know Shancopp, I am sure if I asked her she would tell me she loves having me out of the house for a few hours......LOL

I've never heard of this brand.  Where do you buy it?
