Default What do you wash her with?

Some people have paid a lot of money on their paint jobs and chrome. How do you keep the paint job clean and the chrome shining?

I use Turtle Wax car wash and a terry cloth hand towel to wash. A chamois to dry her with some paste wax on the body and chrome cleaner on...the chrome of course.

What is everyone else using?

I'm lazy I use Mr. Clean Auto Dry, and works pretty well as long as it doesn't dry while you're still washing it.

Back before my clear coat started flaking off, I swore by Meguire's 3-stage system. Someone else I know uses it on his new Accord religiously, and it shows. Works really, really well.
