    Advice on final plan

    When using a PC to detail a vehicle, what do you do when you get to the tight spots around trim, emblems, grille, etc? Do you simply do those areas by hand or is there a trick?

    tire/white letter cleaning

    I have a brand new set of white letter tires on my truck. I applied some Meguiars tire gel the other day, with a used applicator, and now the white letters are very dingy. I expect that when I scrub them this weekend they will come back to white. If they don't, what should I use to get them...
