In Canada, your local Canadian Tire carrys all wash/wax products. In the U.S try Wally-Mart, Target or NAPA.

I should correct my post on how often.
I do a thorough wash once a week, but to remove the daily dust build-up, I use a bucket of water and a wet chamoix, ensuring I change the water in the bucket when it gets dirty so i am not grinding dirty water back onto the paint. My interior I keep spotless!

Tire foam is crap!. Best stuff I have used is Maguires Endurance Tire shine. It is a liquid that is applied with a sponge applicator (included). Stuff lasts for weeks. I have also used a similar product from Armour-All which works almost as good (but doesn't last quite as long as the Maguires).

use too i washed my car(s) at least once a week but with this car its sadly only about once and sometimes twice a month....i washed it sunday and vacuumed it out and cleaned EVERY platic trim piece and door panel and everything out....regular cleaning goes a LONG way to keeping a car looking new and or in good condition

to: detailed image....i was always told that you should only wax your car every couple months? unless you use the wax stripper or whatever it is to reomve old wax then you can do it more often
