Firm believer of "Mop N' Glo" here... Sponge it on and it works just as good as Armor-all etc but doesn't attract dust the same

Meguire's Endurance. Lasts a few weeks at least, even driving thru puddles and thunderstorms. You wipe it on with a sponge but it's really easy to apply and it lasts.

Couple of ideas from an "old dude"!
Phil, thanks for the Ronson's tip, I'll get it a try. Old Dude's rule.

Like JPCharmin, I use the Armorall. Lower shine which I like, and last a good while.

Back in the 60's I used Go Jo hand cleaner (without grit) and put it on with a brush then wiped off with an old rag and tires looked great with no plastic shine. Also used Lemon Pledge on the seat's and dash. This was on a 1966 GTO that I bought new. Still use Pledge on my ATV. Wish I would have kept the GTO (see pic below)

That's what I had before the Meguiar's hot shine. Day three for the hot shine and has been in the water off the beach putting in my boat and one day of rain after that and still looks black just not glossy anymore. (Which i like) Lots of great ideas on here though. I may have to try the pledge!

Right Paw Paw, before we had Armorall we had Pledge. I used it on my '71 GTO. Small world right?

Yep, and I almost bought a '72 GTO but decided against buying it because I bought a house instead. Last of the Great Ones!
