    Although, it's funny you made this post, I was just thinking this weekend as i was washing the Charger there is little discussion here about cleaning.

    I have been using these products:
    Both Meguiar's and Mothers detailer and I am not sure which I prefer.
    Mothers Back to Black plastic restorer works great keeping the plastic trim black.
    Meguiar's Hot Rims Wheel & Tire cleaner really cuts down on scrubbing
    Turtle Wax wet'n black tire shine is a no-sling solution.

    I recently saw someone use lemon pledge on their tires for a clean (no gloss) look and I will be trying that. I don't really like the high gloss on the rubber.

    I’m gonna rinse the car with the pressure washer tonight(no soap for about another week). Then test out drying it with the leaf blower.

    Get a tripod.

    ETA: you must have some friends.
    Have one come over and tell him: "Here, hold my beer and watch this...." :)

    Exactly what he said " Hold my beer and watch this " it works good trust me :)
    I use Armor All Car Soap, wash it, leaf blower it dry, dry small stuff, then use Chadwick's Triple Play spray and Chadwick's no sling tire dressing and done! :)

    The leaf blower works awesome with ceramic coat. Did the whole car and then just soaked up the little stuff with my fancy platinum pluffle dry towel from the rag company.

    Next time I should be good to clean with soap so I will use my foam cannon and get it good and clean and drying is so nice now
