[Darth Gator]

What products/techniques/gadgets do you guys use to keep the 'ole gator looking good?

Is there something you've found to work well with say ...cleaning tires and rims, ...to hide scratches, ...to keep the finish "shiny and new", ...keep the windshield clean without scratching, etc.

Due to the different finishes (green & yellow vs. camo) I bet there is differences in processes and products needed.

My tip: After a wash and drip dry, I use white vinegar and paper towels to remove hard water spots on the rims, roof, rear screen, bed, grille, etc. of my machine. It works great if you don't mind the smell of vinegar.

WD-40 is what I use. Spray the whole thing down and wipe off the runs. It keeps the rubber looking good and displaces the water in the spots you can't get to with a towel. Note, It will collect dust fast. I spay everything, engine, trans. included. If you can't stand the dust issue, I also started using Turtle Wax Ice syn. car wax.
