I used the wheel cleaner to spray the insides of the wheel, it got some of the stuff off but yeah next time I will do what you suggested.

I don't even notice how dirty the insides of my rim is from the pictures. :lol:

Looks good man! Having a Diamond White Pearl Solara I feel your pain keeping the car clean. I have to wash it once a week.

The artic frost pearl paint isn't really a pain to clean, even if the car was a lunar mist I would still be cleaning it once a week if it gets through rainy weather often enough.

Very true. As long as it doesn't rain it's not bad at showing dirt, but rain for several days and it looks like one dirty dog lol. I think for me it's frustration that every chance I get to wash my car falls on my days off from work, and every other time I wash the car lately it rains the next day. Go figure :roll:

There are a lot of Toyota meets this upcoming March, I will update this forum about it though.

The big SG meets in FL haven't really happened since HIN 2006, that was when 4 Toyota Solara cars showed up (including me). 4 Solara's, that was the most amount out of any SG meets that I have been to, can you believe that crap? :lol:

wow, all this talk of cleaning your cars. I'm lucky if I wash mine once a month. On the plus side the interior is always clean though.

I don't wait too long to wash my dirty car, the dirty stuff is bad for the paint and I prefer the car to be shining clean.

good wax goes a long ways to protecting the clear coat, just don't get too obsessed with cleaning. The car is more fun to drive than clean.

Dang man! Once a meet falls on a day off, I can help up that count =b Agreed SolaRaSpeed, a good wax really helps to protect your clear coat, on that note I just waxed my Solara last weekend, water just beads off this baby :D And yes...this thing is alot of fun to drive! Handles better than my Altima did.
