what you have never painted yours? Its not something I would recomend on a weekly basis but he did say its his daily driver it gets dirty and worn looking down there make sure to mask it off and ideally you would want to take your wheels of before doing this but it can be done without it by turning the wheel and taking your time.

Fukken wax, miracle in a can. I use it on a brilliant crystal black pearl painted ram! Works real good! It is used on the mirrors,glass,all painted surfaces,chrome. rubber, basically the whole car! The only damage you can do is if you used the can itself to rub it in!

Windex (ammonia free) is the best thing EVER for the engine bay, believe it or not! and just don't stop cleaning. Get everything you can think of and then try to think of something else. Use Tire shine as I think that sets you apart from the rest and go over chrome twice (second time with a dry wipe) because it tends to streak after cleaning when it dries. Bring a lint roller or double stick tape for any debri that accumulates during the drive after vacuuming. I'll let you know if I can think of anything else. BRING a TON of microfiber clothes and paper towels!!!!

Thanks guys! I bough 20 more buck worth of supplies. A mess load of Q-tips for the hard to reach spots, 15 more microfiber towels, three lint rollers, glass wipes made by turtle wax, and glass clothes just in case the I have the same luck with the glass wipes like I have every other glass cleaner.
I also will not be spray painting my wheel liner haha. I've head that tire wet products sprayed in the wheel well work well, I think I'll give that a try.
I also noticed while I was cleaning the plastic in the rear seats that the head liner is pretty dirty above the rear seats. Probably from riding with the windows rolled down all the time... Gonna take some upholstery cleaner to it and see what happens.

+1 On the tire wet. DO NOT spray it on directly. Instead spray into a foam applicator and wipe the tires down. This will give it an even look instead of the drippy mess that you get when you spray it. Also, try to apply either the night before or once you are parked at the show. If you try to drive within a few hours of applying it, you get a mess down the side of the car.
I think one of the best things you could do would be a once over with a Cali-duster to remove any fine dust. After that, wipe the whole car down with Meg's Ultimate Quick Detailer (black bottle). This after a wax job will make your paint look
Good luck dude...
