I agree about cleaning as being part of the preventative maintenance process. Let`s face it, most vehicle owners or leasee`s see their vehicle as an appliance to be used for personal transportation and dcjredline`s statement "it`s just going to get dirty anyway" is the prevailing attitude that most of them have about such a vehicle`s appearance and that the vehicle will get replaced eventually. What is unfortunate is that most are not aware of how much that attitude can affect a vehicle`s net value, either when traded in, resold privately by themselves, or returned at the end of a lease. That said, I do think that the current shortage of vehicles in the new car market and hence, its effect on used vehicle availability is making those individuals realize that they may be driving "that appliance" for a while longer than expected, and it may require paying more attention to its appearance. That`s an "opportunity" for those Autopians who detail others vehicles professionally or as a hobbyist and the car-care product manufacturers whose products are used on them. I say "opportunity" because I do not know if that is actually happening for both detailers and the products they use or not; I am only surmising and guessing on my part.
So here`s the Captain Obvious question: What brake-dust/wheel cleaner product(s) are you using on your VW wheels (rims!) in that photo?
