dragkid1990what does everyone use to clean their cars
now that offseason is here..i dont race,just curious what does everyone use to clean their cars (especially dragsters)? im know a terry towel/cloth works great, but is there any specific brand cleaner? do yall use any special cleaner on headers, tires, & wheels? do you wipe them down throughout a race? me be some what of a clean car guy i think its an underrated/unoticed detail.

Will HarrisonSoapy water on the headers and a wash cloth. Meguires quick detailer or Lucas slick mist on everything else, with Scott's blue shop towels

Jerry KatheI essentially clean everything with Windex and the cheap micro fiber towels from the warehouse club. I then use Meguire's quick detailer or Speed shine from Geoits Garage and generally just a good soap and water on the wheels and tires.

TORQINPLEXUS on lexan, water and micro fiber on headers, quick detailers with ceramic on bodies. Scrub and bubbles on most anything but window's.

Curly1I have a couple similar to this.

-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.
Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

Al AlguireLike most we rarely wash the entire car. Just a spray detailer and microfiber at most. If yo have stainless headers and want them to look new again toilet bowel cleaner that contains Hydrochloric acid will have them looking brand new in a couple minutes. If they are the high temp silver coated Mothers aluminum polish will make them look new again.

GoobSometimes the car gets caught in a rain shower, I'll wipe it dry with a chamois.
