thanks man. I didn't scroll down far enough to see this special forum. I was looking in the "exterior" forum before. I appreciate it, I'll try a new search here.
i would suggest looking in the washing/waxing forum. people have posted a lot w/ their own reviews on various products. what works well and what sucks.
I wax my Vibe once every two weeks, more if it's gonna be nice for a while. I use Meguiars Gold Class wax, and then I wipe it down daily with Meguairs Quik Detailer. DONT GO THROUGH THE CAR WASH!!!!
