I tend to use Nu-Finish ! It's always done a great job, easy to use and water rolls right off.
For glass cleaner I have not found anything that works as well as Invisible Glass
For towels I like but don't all Ways have is Blue shop towels
What do you use ?
Where can you find/buy it? (thanks Jim)

Something to add to the thread - for those who have a product they like - where do you find it to purchase it? Online order or what local store typically has it?

So, Adam - Where is Invisible Glass found - I might check it out!

Good idea Jim! You can find what I like at most parts stores, Auto zone is pretty good at having everything I use in stock.

Here some pics comparing the Nu-Finish side vs the non finished side.
Water that was poured on the non finished side and it rolling of the Nu-Finish.

Then water being poured right on the Nu-Finish side.

Unfortunately I desided to do this on a very hot day and shade did not last long. Only got about 1/2 day done today.

I used NuFinish on my old truck (red) and it looked great but seemed to attract and hold dust more than w/o it.

I noticed that to using Nu-Finish. Kind of a trade off of having water run off or have it sit on the paint. I never have done the reapply 30 days though maybe it will help more

This is great lol. I'm not much of a detailer my self but I do find it good to keep things from rusting over.
I wash my jeep about once a year, and rinse usally every 3 months or so.

I just bought this brush to use with the power washer for the wife's car and my truck, maybe I'll even wash the Jeep.

I do an annual "spring cleaning" of mine and then hose it down now and then but it's my daily driver too.
