Nice :tup:

awesome work. how well does that wheel cleaner work on the inside of the rim? i have about 5k miles on my wheels. I leave all the dirt on the inside of the rim when cleaning the car b/c i hate the look of the wheels when only the parts i can reach are clean! does that make sense?

great work as always phil... do you dry your cars at all or use a deionizer for your washes?

for bigger jobs we do not dry we go right into claying.
