Drove car 2,700 miles round trip to DF. Rained most of the way there & back. Car was filthy. Have no before picks, but sand was actually stuck all over the paint. Tires were muddy. Wheels were trashed. Paint had tiger stripes of dirt and crud all over it.

Anyway, used like 6 products to clean the wheels:

1. TS Tire Cleaner for the tires
2. CG Grime Reaper for wells
3. AF Imperial Wheel Cleaner to pre-treat wheels
4. Megs Dub Wheel Cleaner (Iron X type) as wheel cleaner
5. Megs Wheel Brite to clean rotor hats
6. Permanon Car Super Shine for protection

+++ 2 Daytona Brushes, Wheel Woolies Wheel Brush, Wheel Woolies paint brush, large Wheel Woolie for wells. TS brush for tires.

- Cleaned exhaust tips with Wheel Brite, Duragloss APC 1:10, & P21S Polishing Soap. Then wiped down with GD`s IUDJ

-Snow foamed car with AF Avalanche.

-Washed car via 2BM with Ultima Paint Guard Wash using Griot`s Wash pad & AG noodle mitt.

- Rinsed with CR Spotless

- Dried with Master Blaster

- Added another coat of Füzion using one of the LC red applicator pads they had laying around at the Marriott social at DF. They were actually laying all over for people to grab (I hope... unless I stole it)

- WGDGLS to clear bra.

-Optimum Opti-Bond to tires.

- Interior was fairly clean still. Did not mess with it. Don`t eat in car.

Something like 20+ products to clean a car. WTF...

Great! I`m looking to learn and do a good washing technique myself. Thanks for sharing your products. I`ve got some Icredipads coming for the two bucket wash so we`ll see how they are.

Those exhaust tips! Very nice looking car!
