Hey There,
I'm new here (just joined) and know that I have a lot to learn from you guys. I'm excited to see all of the cool things going on and really sink my teeth into things. One question I have to get things started is about car care. I am looking for the easiest way to keep my dodge clean and waxed. When I bought my car the salesman suggested the absorber. I've never tried it and thought I would ask for your feedback before I spend the money. Let me know what you think. Thanks!!

Welcome to the site. Check out the 'detailing' section. I only hand wash my car with a natural sponge and use a chamois (never use terry cloth towels) to dry. Use two buckets: one for suds and one for discharge filled with clean water. This will minimize swirls and scratches. Also, I like to clay bar the car, polish it, wax it, the apply a paint sealant 12 hours later (wax needs to cure). This will give it a deep, rich, wet looking shine.

After the paint sealant is applied, it will last 6 mounths compared to a wax that lasts weeks,
