Try to pick something out without silicone. Pick up a bottle of window cleaner, preferably ammonia free in case you have tints.Īs for tire dressing, that`s tough over the counter. Stores like NAPA and AutoZone and other specialized stores were not yet on the. I love using microfiber towels on my windows. My duties included keeping the shelves stocked with wax, light bulbs. You can usually get double the amount for the same price at Target (towels, applicators, etc.) They also sell terry cloth covered foam applicators. If you`re an old school kind of guy, I`d suggest getting terry cloth towel and flannel rags for finishing at Target. Pep boys doesn`t have a great selection, but they do have microfiber if you want to go that route. Of course you`ll need applicators, towels, etc. I used it religiously until I got hooked onto Blitz (which you can`t buy at Pep Boys).

If you end up using the SMR, I`ve heard (about to find out myself this weekend) that it could use a pure polish afterward to bring out the shine.

If you need something mild, but they don`t have the IHG, you can go with Meguiars #7. If available, 3M Imperial Hand Glaze is milder if your finish isn`t too scraped up.

The Autozone near me doesn`t have a very good selction of detailing stuff other than Meguiars Gold Class Soap which I buy by the gallon in targetįrom Pep Boys i buy 3m Imperial Hand Glaze, Fine Cut Rubbing Compound and Swirl Mark remover, some of the Meguiars equivalents are there as well.
