There's an auto parts store >1 mile from my house, so whatever's in their inventory is what I "keep on hand"

I'll point out that all the stuff I get is when it comes on sale, and I mean more then 10% off.


Usually around thirty percent, to half-price (or even better on that Shell oil).

Why so many cloths?

I have a crapload of cleaner stuff, from el' cheapo that I use for mommy's car and the odd favour, to my stuff which I spend way too much for not much better results.



I used to use the car wash alot, but that's cause I printed myself free washes.

Last time I got to cleaning my car by hand, it was in October.

I was short on time (and it was dam cold), so it only got washed. Simoniz blue stuff, if I recall correctly (pretty cheap, results are decent).
