Giving the EVO some TLC

Any thoughts on best products to keep my nice new red EVO clean. I have been thinking McGuiars??

In particular what sould we use to clean the Enkei's and make sure the brake dust doesn't destroy them.

Not sure about the wing ... I presume a good car wash (Maguires) will be fine. Maguires Prof. wax works great on the exterior and I also picked up a bottle of Maguires Quick Detailing Mist for quick touch-ups to remove the dust and restore that fresh "just waxed" l00k!

Whatever you use, make sure it has UV protectants in it. Also make sure it is just a wax......and NOT a polish. The polishing compound in the wax could put swirls in the soft clear coat of the wing.

You just mean clean? How about washing it once a week with any car soap and water?
If you are talking shiney, as in waxing etc. try Zaino, Zymol, or the higher end Mequires.

Maguiars professional line of products work great. They have a product called "showcar glaze". I've used it for years along with many other Maguiars products and my 95 eclipse still looks like a brand new car!
