May I Recommend...

The Meguiar's Versa-Angle Body Brush, effective for cleaning lower body panels and parts without the need to stoop down. This way, I won't have to use the wash mitt I use for my upper body that may pick up the grit from lower parts. It is useful and effective in removing hard-to-remove bugs and reaches deep into angled parts.

Just wanted to gve my Kudos to Meguiar's. Go ahead and try it yourself!

I do understand the old part But you can use a stool to sit down and clean those parts or if your too old than just take it to a hand wash place and pay.

I also want to recommend Meguires NXT wax for old folks because the wax is so easy to apply and take off. Its been mentioned alot but I swear this is great!

Bah, too much of a hassle for a stool and the hand wash places. Besides, I don't want swirls from those places.

The NXT is indeed an awesome product. Like you said, because it's synthetic polymer wax (as opposed to carnauba wax) the application comes off with ease and without streaking.

I also want to recommend NXT Insane Tire Shine. Its another tire dressing product that does really have a mirror like shine after it dries. I recommend washing the wheels and tires first with dawn or some type of degreaser first. Than spray this NXT on and than let it dry completely before driving to prevent the spitting up of product on the body. Once it dries, you won't believe how shiny this stuff is. I never seen this type of shine from any dry type of tire dressing before, trust me. Try it.

I know that the Meguiar's brush is nice, but I though you would like to see an alternative that is less than half the cost and works just as well. Available at a lot of auto parts stores under the Viking Car Care Brand I could not lift a pic from their site, but you can see it in the catalog.
