depends which wax but i know most carnauba serve the same purpose.
i have a carshow this weekend and the carpet cleaner idea sounds really good..i'll try it...thanks.. and also, i wash/waxed my car yesturday and it rained today...whats a good way to clean the car if i don't have time to wash/wax it again..?

^^two bucket wash method, you don't need to wax everytime you wash it stays on there however it is nice to layer wax's sometimes.

If it just rained you can probably hose it off at a coin washer with a pressure washer then dry it. thats what i do if my car is just dusty or just has water spots.

man i just got some of this and its really high gloss! Ive never seen leather so shiny looking. Works great but it definately leaves more than a matte finish

Ur right DeepDiver! I just checked and I have the Meguiars Rich Leather Cleaner/Conditioner
http://www.meguiars.com/estore/produ...ectionID=12201
Top one on the list. It reminds me of Armor All, I got some of the interior trim with the wipes on accident and it does almost the same thing. Really slick and shiny. I will have to try those Interior quik detail wipes because I dont like the wet slick feeling haha. Looks freakn awesome though!
