Hey hockeyplaya....you should have read the WHOLE page.



Jim Dvorak of Mother's detailing products recommends these steps: “For spring cleaning, start with a bucket of sudsy car soap and a long-handled wheel brush. Clean the tires, wheels, rocker panels, and wheel wells.



"Use a good foaming cleaner on alloy wheels. Brake dust can eat the coating off wheels in only a few weeks. Then go to a fresh bucket of clean, sudsy water and wash the rest of the car using a clean car-wash mitt so you won’t scratch the paint.’’

They do say to use a new wash water afterwards. I use the same method, I like to clean the wheels and wheelwells first. I liked the parts about the rain negating the need for a wash in the first place and the drill mounted waxer, which was not doubt a plug for mothers powerball.

I did. Everything within Mr. Dvorak's quote was fine, I have no issue with that. Just the highlighted portion. Thanks.
 
My biggest problem is with #4. Get it detailed. $50 for a wax and apparently $125 for a full detail. Thanks for cheapening it for everyone Boston Globe!

$125 for a wash, clay, wax and vacuum with shampoo. Sounds a litttle on the cheap side, but not by much. No indication of polishing in there though.
