2500HHP

And conveniently enough, they wouldn't be there when I started and finished.

Thing looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a year.

What a joke, right? When I spoke to him on the phone prior and we agreed on everything, I was told "Interior is decent, just a couple spots."

Yes Chris, they were. I sprayed them with DWC, let it sit for as long as it took me to mix shampoo in my foam cannon, then scrubbed them and rinsed.

Thor, Here are a couple before and afters to give you a general idea of how neglected this truck was haha. Also, Here is another picture of the finished truck. Clean wheels, Mostly corrected paint, dressed and waxed.

They do look dirty. Which is bizzare. The only thing I could tell them is that there must be hazing. Both pictures are the same wheel, 3 days apart. They were out of town, so to my knowledge the truck was not driven....

That Q5 is nice! How long until you put the shine to that thing? haha

Unfortunately Dan, they made their displeasure quite clear and I doubt I'll be doing anymore work for them lol. Was able to get some really great interior before and afters however on this vehicle haha. I think next time, I'll stick with some nice suds on matte wheels. However I know the deep wheel cleaner works great on polished/ gloss painted wheels. I just find it strange because they looked great when I left the vehicle!!

No Bill, they are just painted matte black.

Yeah, I'm sure you could remove it. I'm just curious if it has the tendency to do so? I have had ZERO issues with it on gloss and or chrome finishes. This is the first time I've had my butt chewed over it

Hello all! I recently did a truck for a friend of a friend...They had a major complaint about the Matte Black wheels on the truck when they finally saw it, and in turn bashed me publicly on a truck group I was a part of... What It looked like in the pictures to me was hazing. Has anyone else experienced this before with matte black wheels? I took pictures of the truck and wheels before I left, and what they had found 2 days later. I must admit, this is my first time doing matte finished wheels using the deep wheel cleaner. First picture is the roadside rear wheel when I left the truck. The second picture is the roadside rear wheel almost 3 days after? When they complained about the wheels, I saw which one I had a picture of and specifically asked for a picture of the same one.

Thanks man. Haha, yeah it took a bit to get a couple decent pictures.

Aaron, please see above!

Billy, I did a single pass with the old school Fine Machine Polish with a gen 4 pad until flashed, followed by a single layer of the also old school Machine Super Wax with a gen 4 gray pad. Trying to use up all my leftovers, still working great!!!

Yes Chris I have the 7424. I sure didn't get these where they're at by hand! lol. The focus pads do look intriguing.

Looks great, Love that color.

Went and did a couple vehicles for a friend after he saw some pictures of my wifes Explorer. He is a hot shot driver with the Super Duty so it was pretty nasty! The Waterless Wash trick worked quite well on all the bugs and tar he'd picked up over the past few weeks on the road. I also have to say that the undercarriage spray works awesome! I have one question for you guys and gals though....water spots on glass. What are ya'll doing to get rid of these. Try as I might, even after claying twice, scrubbing with glass cleaner, APC and detail spray, I had some BAD waterspots on the windows of the Passat I could not get off. I also found that I'm missing a couple things that I need to add to the arsenal. A wheel brush to get the inside dish of wide spaced spoked wheels like on the passat, and a FOAM GUN. Anyway, here are a couple pictures of the vehicles. These were actually the first white vehicles I'd done and I think they came out pretty good!

Thanks Adam. I'll certainly add some WW to the ever growing list!

Yes I agree! If the paint is decent, you can actually get quite a bit out using the Fine Machine Polish.

Thanks Ashley! I agree it's a great recipe, however the products I'm using at the moment are pretty obsolete to your current offerings. I'm just getting back into it and trying to use up what I still have haha.

Thanks rkj. Yes, a sealant is definately on my list. Which one would you guys reccomend?

Thanks Rich. People usually give me a hard time when I say I use "Adam's" haha

Thanks Wolf, I get that gov't money on Monday lololol

Chris, I finally dug out the OG porter cable kit and put it to use. Need something to pass the time not working. Maybe even make some moneys at it lol My black pad felt fine but started falling apart at the end there. I guess that's what happens trying to use 6 year old pads. Definately making a handsome order next week to take care of some things and take advantage of the awesome incentive ya'll are running right now.
