Looks good! Just washed and waxed my car today too . I like waxing it cuz it takes away all the fine scratches at least for a few days to a week depending on the weather. Anyway, that white car in the corner is a Corolla. I win!

Just take off the wheel kaioken. Spray it with some degreaser then armorall it...or use mothers back to black....should keep it nice and clean for a bit..but be sure to wach inside the wheel well once in awhile. While your at it clean the inside of your wheel and use tire shine on the side that never sees the light, lol.

oh I always spray inside the wheel well whenever i'm washing the car, but it looks dirty even after washing it. I'll use armor all on it next time but Not too sure how long that shine will last with all the dirt that goes in there.
yup i use to hate waxing too...i still kind of do especially in the lower parts. and yes islandboy57 you win!!! looks like you know your toyotas !!!
and super kaioken i just washed my rims when washing the car and i dried them off and got all the brake dust away... and my rims are alloys with a clear coat so i just put on a quick thin layer of turtle wax i still have left over. The wax really helps too in the future its simple to take the brake dust off...just wipe it!

I might add a coat of wax on my rims but most of the time they stay shiny. Isn't there a car wheel spray that you can buy for this?
I tried putting wax on my window but then it was so hard to get it to disappear.
It's raining right now and i'm just loving how the water is just running down.
^^ ahh i thought about putting wax on my window before but never tried it...now i just put that rainx stuff on. it does improve visibility when driving a bit and its also cool looking at the water beeds fly off your window when your dirivng fast :P
Super Kaioken - Yea you'll need to get the wheel off to get all of it....armor all should last quite a bit of time. Once you apply it, then regular rinsing and wash down of the fenders should be good enough. For windows...i would just put real thin coats to be able to remove them easier. as for the wheels...a lot of people seem to have good luck with the klasse twins on rims. It seems like wheels and fenders are like the most neglected part of washing, cleaning, and protecting. I mean why leave to rot when you pay good money to have them on nice cars?
My car '03 SE, which is a Phantom Grey is as shiny and could use a wax. Although, it hasn't rained since I washed my car a week ago, I can already see dust on the car (from the morning dew)
