Finally Fully Detailed My 370Z with Porter Cable (AK370Z) 90+ pics inside

AK370Z · 06-03-2011, 04:02 AM

Here’s my detailing collection. Most items are from Adams. I have heard nothing but GREAT things about their products. I do however have stuff here and there as you can from other site (i.e. Sonax wheel cleaner, ferrets wheel brush, some CG stuff here and there)

You ALWAYS want to start with the rims, tires and fender wall first. To do this, I am using Sonax wheel cleaner, Adams’s fender/tire brush, ferret’s wheel brush, and Adams bucket with grit guard.
I went with Sonax wheel cleaner because of all the write up I saw by Phil (especially this one Detailer's Domain: 2006 STI Clean Up ). Also, I have been reading about it everywhere and how amazing it is. I’m sure Adams wheel cleaner is pretty good but I wanted to try this.

Sprayed Sonax Wheel cleaner first. I spray mostly inside because I hand wash the outer spoke (and Sonax can get expansive so I use carefully).

Within 5 minute, Sonax turns purple and melts/removes all the brake dust/dirt etc off the wheel.

This is when I use the Feret brush to scrub the inside of the rim. Make sure you wear crappy clothes and goggles.

Rinse off with water! Look how clean!

Sonax does amazing job.

Time to tackle the tire wall. I simply used Adams car wash soap and water. Worked pretty well.

This brush is FANTASTIC for the fender and rear quarter panel. Works amazing.

Cleaning the front part of the rims with soap and water.

I highly recommend you to buy this brush. It makes it easy to wash the lugnut area. I WANTED to buy the Adams brush which is a little more $ but better built. But I was placing as order with Phil that day therefore I went with this one. It’s a great brush
