the "slick sealant" to repel dead bugs does that just go on the front or does it go on the whole car? Can I apply it by hand? The sealant White95Max mentioned for the wheels - is that the same one I would use for the front of the car? I waxed it Monday but I used some liquid turtle wax I already had on hand. Sealant and wax are different things, right?

It has no brake dust on it yet but I will check out one of the cleaners you recommended in the future. That one wheel you posted - wow it's very clean now. Thanks for the swirl pic - now I know I have no swirls! yippee!!!

I know I probably sound dumb, but that's why I'm asking Thanks!
The "slick sealant" just refers to two sealants in particular (that I've tried anyway). Those two are Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant (WG) and FourStar Ultimate Paint Protection (UPP). You can put them on the front or the whole car it doesn't make any difference really. My guess is that you'll love the slickness so much you won't be able to resist putting it on just the front.

I use WG sealant on my wheels, and it works well and lasts a long time. There is a sealant made for wheels...Poorboy's Wheel Sealant.


After it rains on my car (I try to have the car in the garage if it's going to rain) I wash it. The rain is not pure, so it will leave contaminants on your car every time. See my post in this thread about rain spots...
