finally found something I don't like about my XLR

[hawkeye372]

water collects and sits in the rubber gasket at the base of the roof section where it joins the trunk lid You can seperate the rubber and put in a section of paper towels pressed in firmly with your fingers to soak up the water. Lots of dirt collects in this channel and that can discolor water. I always wipe mine clean with Meguires professional vinyl and rubber cleaner/conditioner #40. It does a good job. It also is supposed to provide UV protection. I use this on all the vinyl and rubber. It does not leave a greasy residue. Does great for the top of door rubber next to the glass. If you haven't wiped some of these areas down in awhile your cloth will come up coated with black residue. I use a very small 2 inch by 2 -3inch piece of terry cloth or piece of old light weight wash cloth to apply and have to use more than one depending on when I last did these areas. Safe on paint. I use it all over the engine bay areas. keeps it looking new. Oh-Oh gave away my car show secrets! Part of the fun is keeping them looking pretty

The next time I'm at the auto parts store. I'll try and find that cleaner. I also need to restock my tire and wheel cleaner. Even saw the add for mothers water mark remover for glass. I have started a list on what I need for my baby. But if I get everything that I want. Then ill be spending a fortune. That's why I can't just pick up one thing there. Everything seams to be saying "pick me pick me".

Local car wash

Yep, you guys found the secret with the leaf blower, however, we have a hand car wash here in So Cal that have about 8 coiled air lines with small air fittings where they dry the cars and can blow out the grill, mirrors, all trim, gas lid and open the trunk and hood and do all the edges. Never have to touch it when there done. God I'm lazy.

I purchased a leaf blower that is designated for drying our cars and nothing else. Also I dry the trunk edge and track after washing.

Too bad there isn't a car wash here that does all that... Boy, could I keep them busy.
