Good job. The wheels came out real nice. They sure were dirty! On the wheel wells you said you used "TW 2001". What is that?

Super job on the Audi!

Question: is the bottom trim textured plastic? Or painted? Did you tape it off?

Some of the Bimmers I do have a rubber trim on the bottom and others have a body color painted plastic.

Just curious.

Totoland..

Its textured plastic. I didn't tape it off.

Reddwarf...This is it. I got a couple of 32 oz bottles at Autozone for .99 cents when they were clearing it out. Its my wheel well dressing. When its done I will go back to AA Tire Foam.

Awesome work! Look's better then new. A2Z is powerful stuff, and you use it X 2! The dust must have been back on.

It was unreal Sparkie. There was some stuff on the inner rim that I could not remove. I was completely etched into the wheel.

One of the best turn-arounds I've seen lately.

Interior did a 180 as well as the exterior. You really did the Woolite Mix justice.

Man you've been busy.

What's your opinion on PB's PWS?
What pads and speeds did you use?

Justin..the PWS is very nice. I used it with a Sonus Green pad and it did a great job on the Audi clear. Its a great one step. It left the paint SUPER SLICK and was very easy to buff off.

Its another great PB's product. :righton:

I had the same EXACT results. When I went back to buff off, I was virtually gone.

Kills swirls and cleans like no other.
