Check out Meguires Endurance, excellent stuff, would say it last a week or two easy, pending on the amount of rain you get.

Eagle One also came out with an excellent tire gel that I use on Precious. I'm usually not a fan of Eagle One products, but I have to say, after trying many tire shines on the market, this one's a keeper!

Those handy microfibers on a stick work real well for the back window... Using your microfiber works well on windows too... for BEST results on the windows, I go "old school": some old newspaper and some vinegar and water... takes a bit of work and it stinks but the results look great.

I also cleaned the Monte today... with the orbital I used Meguiars 205 cutting compound and then their 105 finsihing polish. It looks AMAZING, like glass... when I get a new orbital, i'll almost have all those unsightly swirl marks that were there from the previous owner. I also have to wax it when my new wax comes in... I ordered the S100 motorcycle paste, I'll keep everyone posted on how it works, but it's SOOOO shiny now, I don't think it can get any more gleaming...

Use two towels a wet towel and a dry towel, Cover the entire window with cleaner then use your wet towel to spread it, then follow it with a MF towel. When you use the MF towel go both ways up and down then side to side. Then look threw the window diagonal, and all your streeks will show.

Nice job space
