Chrome is alot easier than Gloss black, plus the style isn't washed out like it is w/ Gloss black

You think? I always thought the gloss blacks were a bit more lenient since they’re black, so even if they’re a little dirty they’re still going to be black.

The Adam’s products were ok, but I prefer LA Totally Awesome for cleaning tires and Duragloss 253.

I would actually prefer the chrome over the gloss black. The black shows all of the dirt and the dirt is always brown. The only way to clean them properly is with Griots Wheel Cleaner and heavy rubbing.

Both vehicles got the full treatment. The rental got Sonax PNS and the truck got Beadmaker.

Will see how my back is today. If I'm able to do the engine compartment. Have the exhaust tips on the Kia cee'd GT-line to be doing as well. Then I think I will wait a couple of weeks more. And clean the undercarrige of the cars. Saw a domestic detailer use the steamer on the brake parts and wheel house. That seems like another use for it

I wouldn’t trade chrome for anything. Especially when you’ve got low dust brakes like I currently have.

I don’t know which kind they are, but if I ever need to replace them I’ll be sure to ask for the same kind because there’s virtually no brake dust ever.

Probably carbon/ceramic pads

I dunno but if that’s the case they’re definitely worth the extra bucks. It’s shocking how little brake dust occurs. I can pretty much survive on simply wiping down my wheels with Mothers All Chrome.

I’ve been detailing this car today. It’s a Toyota Camry that my uncle is giving to my nephew as his 1st car. It’s a little beater, but damnit it’s gonna be a Clean beater.

Perfect 1st car.

These are the only before pics I took. I dunno about you guys, but there’s not many things more satisfying than hooking up a 2.5”hose and vacuuming this amount of leaves from a windshield cowl.
