Does the rainx stuff really work?
The newspapers don't streak like paper towels would and you don't have to worry about ink. I'm gonna use MF towels next time, but newspaper has been the best thing I've ever used.

As far as MF towels go you can pick them up from your local auto parts store. Locally I prefer the Turtle Wax compared to cheaper ones (1 Turtle Wax towel is the same price as about 3 cheaper MF towels), but it feels softer to me and didn't leave any clearcoat scratches when I removed wax with it like the others did.

As far as Rain-X goes I've never used it, but my fiance bought some orange De-Icer/Washer fluid made by Rain-X. She had it in over the winter and still has it in and I can definitely tell its on there because when you're doing 60MPH and it's raining that **** just beads right off.
