Re: Show Prep [Chrysler300] What do YOU do?

Mark and All:

We, too, have used Westley's Bleche-Wite for many years.  Marshall sprays
it on, then uses a wire brush.  I prefer a kinder, gentler approach, and
apply the cleaner with a scrubby sponge.  Wipe it on -- wipe it off. 
Great stuff!  

I share your opinion on Armour All.  I used it a few times on the vinyl
top of my 78 Cutlass -- and ended up with dirty oily streaks on the glass
every time it rained.  Also, using Armour All on the dash caused a
blinding glare in bright sunshine.

Group,
I'm sure there are hundreds of ways to clean a car, and hundreds of 
preferences. I can certainly appreciate all the various ways that have
surfaced through 
the list.  My preference in cleaning whitewalls is Bleech-White.  I've
used 
it for more than 30 years and never cracked a whitewall yet.  There is so

little "bleach" in Bleech-White that I doubt it could crack anything.  If
I used 
pure bleach on a tire, I'm sure it will damage it.  As a matter of fact,
I've 
heard that using Armor-all, or other silicon-based products, on tires and
vinyl 
surfaces may cause them to dry out and crack. I don't know if that's been

officially researched or not.  
My original reference to Bleech-White was refering to how I clean and
detail 
before a show. The intent was to let all know that I prefer not to use 
Armor-all type products on my tires because I've found that the residue
may cause the 
black (brown) to migrate onto the white and cause discoloration of the 
whitewall.  I choose not to deal with the frustrating "brownwalls" that
we sometimes 
see on otherwise beautiful cars.
I would be interested in knowing how others on the list clean their
tires.
See ya in Carlisle.
