that's cute

yea, didn't you know? if you name your cars they last longer

The Jeep was Savanna.

Works for boats too.

 

My Tahoe is White but I use Duragloss wet look polish, Mother's Clay bar, Stoner glass cleaner and a micro fiber cloth, Amorall for wheel wells, running boards, Turtle wax car wash for general washing, Simple Green for engine compartment, Turtle wax bug and tar remover for rear quarter panels and front fascia, Gunk Brand spray white lithium grease for hinges and latches,
3M paste silicon for all weather stripping and Dupont Krytox for contact points of vinyl/plastic for squeak control (when needed)
Clean the interior with warm very lightly soapy water and do not apply any protectant to any interior parts except maybe the center consoles rubber mats and cup holder mats

Yep way more information then anyone wanted.....

EDIT and I forgot to add that I use the leaf blower to pre-dry the vehicle, water blade for glass and large body panel water removal and finish up with a synthetic chamois

 

Doesn't the Armor-All make your running boards slick?

 

Yeah, but dang sure look good thou!

I'm tall enough to step over them but the kids, the wife eh.. not so much...
but for those days when its just me.. nice!

 

lot of work for a white vehicle...! but I bet your 07 looks brand new still. I wish I had enough time to wax this beast of a truck - I simply get it waxed and buffed at our car wash location.

I do keep my engines clean though. usually just some low pressure pre soak at the car wash, brush if needed, and rinsh with spot free. a couple times/year and even my 99 Acura engine bay is nearly perfect

 

I do keep the engine bay very clean, I get second hand compliments from the service writer that he gets from the techs at the dealer when I take it in for servicing....
my theory is that if they see its taken care of they will in turn take that extra care...
Thou I don't do all those things every time I wash it, I do try to keep up with them about 2-3 times a year...

My latest effort to keep it clean is a swiffer duster... since we have not had decent rain here in central Texas since like September of last year the duster works very well for removing tire rubber dust that builds up on the quarter panels and for removing oak pollen a few months back....
