Hi nice work! The correction turned out great! You should give the Wolfgang sometime to cure before applying the wax though but it looks good!



A pet hate but here is some critisim that im sure will make your wheels last longer and improve your detail:

Many people say the wheels make the ride. If not that, diry wheels can spoil a good detail, you could do with some wheel cleaning brushes and a wheel cleaner.



The stuff you used isnt going to cut the BMW wheel dust, esp. if your running the non premium packages. Get small brushes like the Swissvax one and then the EZ detail brush or whatever they have updated that too. Then some P21s wheel cleaner. Spread the wheel cleaner around and work it in to the areas with the Swissvax brush then clean the barrels and the tight parts of the spokes with the EZ brush!



Applying wheel sealant over brake dust is a bad move, brake dust will pitt and dull the wheels, and you have just locked it in.

Thanks!



The Wolfgang Cured for a hour before removal and wax. I couldn't wait any longer.....



I do have assorted brushes, and I did use them on the wheels. Maybe my camera sucks, but all of the wheels were throughly clean. A couple heat patches couldn't be completely removed

I don't know what is wrong with the photo, maybe the shade was appearing that the wheels were still dirty, I dunno

ehe yeah i was going to say the before and after pictures of the wheels were almost the same



but i think you're right, the lighting must have had something to do with it



good work
