Does this make me an Autogeek?

I pulled the wheels off my 2 week old car and detailed the wheels, wells and brake calipers. My wife just rolled her eyes and called me an Autogeek.

Wheels Chrome - Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant over Klasse AIO
Wheels Aluminum - DP Wheel Glaze.

Tires - Wolfgang Black Diamound Tire Gel.

Wheel Wells - Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant over Klasse AIO

With the way those wheels are your are doing the best thing for the car. Wheels with those wide spacings are tough to clean and keep cleaned, so all is good. What do you use on the rotors to keep them clean. My brother has a 2001 Mustang GT and you can see rust on the rotors. How do you clean the rotors, so they look like brand new? What do you do to clean the wheels on the car as well? I want to clean the wheels but not have to put in alot of work to do it, also what wheel cleaner would be safe to use? I have heard some wheel cleaners have harsh ingredients.

You know you were an Autogeek prior to the wheels episode.

Very nice Gary!.

How can you not do that, those babies were calling you I am sure "Gary, come clean and protect me".. ha ha

The fruits of your labor pay in a few ways...it looks great and sure will make cleaning less of an issue!

Being a 'geek is not a bad thing!! We see stuff that others don't. While the small details may not be immediately visible, they add to the overall "holy sh*t" response when the car is seen.
