That being said, I have a 2010 RT SE5 with over 31K miles on it and a 2011 RS SE5 with just over13K. I've been driving comercial vehicles for over 40 some years so I think that I'm qualified to make this statement on how to clean vehicles. For the spyder any auto parts cleaning materials will work fine. Your brand is your preferrence. I use old cotton T-shirts, old towels, a few wash clothes, and Cleaning King scrubies that you get at the $ store (they do not scratch the paint or windsheild) I use auto finish car polish or turtle wax or any other brand. as for drying the spyder, cars motorcycles, semi-trucks I use a very hi-tec piece of equipment. and they are called leaf blowers LOL, when using it, use comon sense. Blow off as much of the water as you can first, then use the towel to wipe the rest of the spyder off. and polish as you like. Also in between washings I use pledge furniture polish lightly as a temp polish. It works great for getting bugs off. Hope this helps. Oh by the way I have gotten alot of :firstplace: awards for show.
