Not pleased...
I just found out today that one of my favorite car care products, Amor All Car Wash Wipes, has been discontinued  This was such a great product. Kept the car looking nice all the time. I don't know if others have used it, but it did the job. Hopefully they'll bring it back at some point.

Seriously, I've only washed my Firehawk twice since I got it. All other times I just used these wipes. What are the Nascar ones? I'm going to need something now that these are unavailable.

Im not completely sure if they come in wipes, I have the spray. I only use 2 lint-free rags (which came with the purchase of the kit, which I have) and it does the trick pretty well.

Ahhh...yeah, that's like a detailing spray. I usually use the Meguiar's. But damn, these Car Wash Wipes were great, because everything was in the wipe. You didn't need to dry anything, and they would leave no streaks.

Oh, you don't know what you missed! I sent Armor All an email to explain my plight over this, telling them of the many happy times I spent cleaning my car with their product. They responded saying sales were not large enough to justify the continuation of the product. From a Marketing standpoint, I understand this. Car Wash Wipes you will be missed.

WHY! Those were my best friends last summer! I better run out & stock up on them. The local Shop-Rite carried them.

Some of the time I HAVE to wash my car, cuz I park my car right next to a County Concrete factory. Its amazing how much dust + dirt my car will collect over a one week period.

Yeah, that was the one thing to watch out for. But as long as you kept refolding the wipe it was fine. I do use the KOZAK cloth, which is sold as a "dry car wash," but it's really more like a polish cloth. But I guess if I use that in conjunction with my California car duster it might do the job. I just really liked those wipes...if I haven't said it enough already
