Looks great! I have been using Murphy's oil soap for a while now and it also works great. I'll ask the better half to pick some up for me on one of her many stops at DG.

I just noticed the Turtle wax also in the picture. I use their plain old liquid wax to wash my vehicles. About 2-3 tablespoons to a gallon or so of hot water keeps both the wheels and body looking good. My 2004 FX4.

Thanks!

Never thought about Murphy's. My wife said "Duh". My clearcoat is gone and the T wax helps alot. Truck hasn't been washed but rims look good. My 03'.

About 3-4 years ago, someone told me about this product at Family Dollar. This "AWESOME" PRODUCT IS GREAT AND IS VERY INEXPENSIVE BUT IT WORKS FANTASTIC ON A LOT OF DIFFERENT USES TOO. I keep a couple of bottles on the shelf and use them as needed.

The bottle to the right is "The Works" toilet cleaner. Does a super good job on showers and tubs. Not so much on wheels as it was tried previously with alot of scrubbing.

I clean mildew off my boat with that stuff. It's pretty strong. Be careful what you put it on. It will eat the threads off boat seats.

Even though it comes in a spray bottle the directions do say to dilute for for certain applications. I've still yet to go there. Good advice.

Lots of people use Murphy's Oil Soap to wash their car. I'll have to try the Awesome Cleaner as a wheel wash. Does it clean the tires as well?

What's a good product to give tires a bit of shine but less than Armor-all?

Yes. The brake dust just rolls right off.

That awesome cleans just about everything. If you have cloth seats in the truck that are black and nasty that stuff will clean it right up. I also use it in a pinch for the black streaks on gutters. Be careful and don't let it dry and itll make them look like new again.
