    Air Freshener

    Spent a bunch of hours detailing inside and out. Car was CLEAN (including washed carpets). Got in last night and the air was less than fresh in there. The cabin air filter was recently replaced. But its a convertible and I think outside air gets into the car more than a tin top. anyhoo...

    Which spray gloss has blown you away?

    been using FX100 lately and its got a nice result for a quick gloss, I most like the fact that you can use it over Carnauba or Acrylics. I always follow up with 425. I really like FX100 on wheels, its the perect match. I'm running out of FX100 (or do I have a spare bottle :think: ) and would...

    Cleaning the barrel of the wheel, what do you use?

    My Carrera 5 spokes are a dream to clean but the openess of the wheel also makes a dirty wheel more visible. I don't think a detailing is complete without making sure this area is free of soot and dried up murk. It looks 100X's better when I have a nice clean wheel face, clean caliper and clean...
