Outstanding work. That color is beautiful. How was the clear on this one - that marring in the 'before' pic gave me the impression it might've been really soft.

WHat do you use on the wheels and does it just work without doing anything I spend to much time working on the damn wheels when im cleaning with some meguiars stuff I bought lol......I need something new....something thatll really get the wheels clean without much effort and sorta eats away at the dust and grime would be great....

How long will that Sonax stuff last??

The sonax wheel cleaner 500 ml can do 8-12 wheels, I would advise for best cleaning on wheels would be to use the brushes as well.
