Why do we need to take care of car body?
How old, do you think, is this vehicle in the upper picture? looks nice, isn't it?
This Mercedes-Benz is 15 years old with almost 300,000 km (186,000 miles) behind! And more than that, it has never been repainted - this is its original painting. And there is no even a tiny spot of corrosion! Now look at the lower image, this three years old car is already corroded through. Big difference, eh? So, how to keep your car shiny and protect it from corrosion? Read below

Wash your car
Wash your car regularly - I'd recommend to do this at least once a month. Things like bugs, bird's dropping, or limestone dripping damage the paint leaving permanent stains if not washed off in time. When the car is clean, all the moisture dries up quickly, but when it's dirty, the moisture accumulates in dirty areas causing corrosion. At least once in a while use pressure wash - it removes the dirt from difficult to reach areas (I do this at a coin car wash station). Wash off all the places where the dirt and salt could be accumulated; for example, behind moldings, inside wheel arches, under the bumpers etc. It's particularly helpful after winter - to wash out all the salt accumulations that speed up the corrosion process.

Spacerider,
I found out about this by accident but I want you to try this out. When cleaning your windows try only windex and a cotton towel. It will take out everything. And no streeking. Tell me what you think afterwards.

RE: Eliminating Water Spots -Update + More
Many years ago, I learned a tip regarding car glass from an old pro. It's cheap, easy, fast and works better than anything else I've tried. After washing and drying your car, clean the glasswith a glass cleaner that does not contain ammonia, using crumpled-up newspaper instead of paper or cloth towels. If you still have water spots or other imperfections, polish the glass with 0000 or 000 steel wool. This will remove anything and everything that's staining the glass - quickly and easily.The most subborn water spots, bug stains, adhesive residue, tree sap, andanything else will disappear almost instantly.
Of course you shouldNEVER use steel wool onthe surface of aftermarket tint film, which is typically applied on the inside. The only other consideration is that you should vacuum along the base of the windows when you'refinished, to ensure that no residual steel wool particles remain in contact with metal body parts.
I've used steel wool for glass cleaning/polishing (car and home) for years now, and have never had a problemwith it. Polish as long and as hard as you want - there's no waythat even people like me can screw it up.
