Dang SScully, I'm gonna have to find some of that and give it a try!! Anything to save my back. I was actually on a creeper under the truck to get a good shot at the inside of the rims. This would be much easier Just another thing to add to my arsenal of cleaning supplies

PoorBoy's World Products.

Do a google search on it, many places online.
Don't know if you have a local distributor in your area.

I do not want to point you to one place or another.
There are detailing product vendors that are site supporters here, so that is always a good place to start.
- They support the site to make it free for us, so supporting them is not a bad idea.

I would definitely support the vendors here first, as I have ordered several times from Adams and Autogeek, but.... just an FYI:

Don't have to tell me, I was in the same boat. Back come back !

3x per year I took the wheels off to give them a good scrubbing with a brush to get them to look as clean as they are now.

If you go the PB wheel sealant route, you need to dilute the Spray & wipe. Think it is 50-50, check the Poorboy's forum for the actual ratio.

Truth be told, I do not use the wheel sealant after using SnR wheel cleaner.
I would use it the 3x per year after removing and scrubbing like a mad man, to make life easier the remainder of the year. Now, why bother, SnR is a 15 min job if you do just that ( and have the hose out already ).

I PB APC ( diluted 12:1, normal use is 15:1 ) to scrub the tire and wheel well with the gong brush before doing SnR. Wet wheel well and tire, foam sprayer head with 12:1 APC and gong brush out the wheel wells and tires, rinse, spray on SnR walking around and then rinse off.
I did not do that in the pictures above, but it is my normal routine.

Picture from Sister's 2002 Honda, did this past weekend.
This is post wash, pre clay in the list.
Had not applied PB Natural look with the HVLP gun yet ( that is last thing for me, after paint correction )


The racing stripe is a bead blast line from something.

Autogeek is one of the Sponsors here.

Take a look in this forum for another detailing product vendor ( detailersdomain ) that is also a sponsor.

If you do look up detailersdomain, just make sure you find them in this forum BEFORE 3/24/12
HINT HINT HINT !!!!

EDIT : For those that are not familiar with AutoGeek, that is part of PBMG ( Palm Beach Motor Group ) family, the Amazon URL above is the same company. PBMG owns a few sites ( AG being one ) as well as makes product themselves ( check out which ones on the PBMG site ).
