I know it's been a while since I posted a detailing tip and I'm sorry for that. Family life has been crazy of late. Thought I'd post up a quick tip that always works great for me. Before you detail your tires with some type of dressing, make sure they are clean! (Tire dressing won't work well on dirty tires.) A good rubber cleaner works wonders at removing both dirt, grime and old dressing so the new application can really bond with the rubber and last for more than a few days! My personal favorite is Groits rubber cleaner (http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-3596920-10509474?url=http://www.autogeek.net/griots-rubber-cleaner.html) followed by Wolfgang black diamond (http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-3596920-10509474?url=http://www.autogeek.net/wg4700.html).

Mike do you ever attempt to clean the undercarriage? Wish my car had the belly pan like Mark's.

I have done that on occasion. Can be a PITA unless you can get the car up in the air a bit.
