Nice job. Those rims were wrecked - what did you use on them? We had a volvo s40 a few years back and it was the worst car we owened but it had the best seats.

The wheels had some very thick brake dust and tar spots.

It ended up being a mostly Meguiars day...

-Thorough pressure wash wheels and tires
-Megs wheel brightener 4:1(I really dont enjoy using this product due to it being acidic but I knew these wheels would need it , so I proceeded with extreme caution as always)
-Agitated with Swissvax wheel brush and EZ brush
-Clayed with Megs aggresive red then followed up on stubborn spots with 3M adhesive remover and Q-tips
-Tires cleaned with Megs APC+
-Wells cleaned and scrubbed with Megs degreaser
-Tires dressed with CG Liquid extreme shine
-Undercarrige got Adams invisible
-Wheels protected with Wheel Wax

Thank you, yea the color is nice but little feminine for my taste (its a lady's car btw) and it reminds me of range rovers arctic frost, very similar.
