    The absorber, followed by a spraying of Quick Detailer gets out the streaks.

    Sorry Squirell, Vince might be a dick, but the Sham Wow works well too.

    I use two chamois cloths, one in each had. Gets it done quicker and that way I don't leave a hand print if I rest my hand on the truck to lean across it. Get them good and wet, wring them out and then do a wiping swirling with them. As soon as it's soaks up too much water you'll know it because it won't pick up any more so just wring it out some more and repeat. I love em!

    Yeah, I heard they scratch the paint, but Im not too concerned. I have also used my leaf blower to clean the inside. :D The one thing I WONT EVER use inside to clean is my compressor. Last time I used it to "Dust" my radio, it blew the buttons off it. :(
