What does everyone do to help save money when cleaning their car for supplies and what about some tricks and tips along the way?

For Example:

-the best (and cheapest) window cleaner is a squirt bottle of rubbing alcohol

-the best wax for your car tends to be that cheap turtle wax stuff in the green tin (i did a science project on this)

-Rim Protectant from Rain X..stuff is like 11 bucks a bottle....WD40 leaves more of a shine and works better/lasts longer...also makes chrome tailpipe tips look new.

Anyone have any hints to share?
