Honestly, I only watched the first part of this video but it`s a nice vid (I`ll watch it all later) and looked to be a ton of work. Thanks for posting. It only took you 3 years.

Glad to have you with us.

Thanks... figured I`d post once I had something to contribute.

Hope you enjoy the video. I may chop it up into sections since it is rather long.

Definitely restored those wheels to as good as they could ever look. The faces have a "as/like new" look. You definitely took the extra effort cleaning and restoring those lugs. Very thorough video.

I`m guessing you remove the headlamps and tail lamps every couple years and cleans the unseen dirt.

Thanks. I`ve made an edit just showing the wheel lug cleaning with the ultrasonic bath. It was definitely more experimental to see what would happen. I figured I`d do the one-time deep cleaning and everything and then hope that I won`t need to do that level again on a frequent basis, especially now that the adhesive marks are gone, which were visible from the front.

I`ve removed both the headlights and the rear lights do address issues with them and took the opportunity to clean. I dry my car with the Master Blaster and have noticed the vast amount of soap that finds its way into the recesses behind the rear lights, so it is logical to have that area nice and clean so that dirt doesn`t get expelled over the freshly cleaned bodywork when I dry. I don`t remove them frequently though.
