Keep them coming and happy detailing!

Thank You

I went to my local Pep Boys to buy new applicators for the next video. I had 2 new carrand brushes but I wanted to give each dressing an equal shot so I went to go buy 2 more applicators. That's why I didn't dilute any of them and I applied 2 coats to each tire.

They had the Carrand Brushes for around $4-$6 dollars each. They then had the foam applicators pads two for $2. So I figured ehh why not.

Honestly the carrand brushes work great IMO to get into all the cracks and crevices. But the two for $2 do a good job too.

I also have the Adam's black foam applicator, but 2 for $2 is a price that's hard to beat especially when they can do just as good of a job.

I think think the prep work prior to applying the dressing is more important than the actual applicator.

The Meguiar'a Hot Wheel and Tire works a lot better than Meguiar's APC to get the tire as bare and as clean as possible, from my experience.

I showed my lady the video and she said "why do your rims look white? Did you paint them?"

I then said "my wheels weren't painted they are just really clean..."

The Meg's APC works great for cleaning one's wheels and tires, Meg's Hot Wheel and Tire works so much better though. My wheels really do look clean in the video, really bright almost whitish looking. There not though they are just really clean and I use the Meg's Ultimate Paste Wax to seal them.

Not sure about the Meg's Hot Wheels and Tire cleaner, but I believe that Meg's D143 can be diluted for regular maintenance washes.

I have my wheels and tires so clean that I am thinking APC might even be to harsh and start removing the Meg's Ultimate Wax and Tire dressings unless really diluted. A wheel brush should work really good for regular tire maintenance washes.

I'm going to try Meg's Gold Class (since it is OTC, cheap and effective and that is what I already use for wheels) a dedicate wash mitt for wheels and a dedicated soft wheel brush for regular maintenance tire washes
Maybe I'll do that instead...

I am not 100% sure but the Mother's Tire Brush while it might work really great to get one's tires really clean. I am thinking the bristles might be to aggressive and start abrading the dressings for just regular maintenance washes.

So not 100% sure just thoughts that pop in my head for breakfast, lunch, dinner. Rain, shine or snow.

Great video. Kinda made me dizzy though. If you do a time lapse shot of your work try and keep the angle the same it helps.

Thank You, I am really planning on buying a tripod actually to make the shots more still. Little by little I keep trying to make the next video better and with new ideas.

Nice work Art. I was a VRG guy for tires, but tried PERL and its become the go to now. Better longevity IME. Keep us posted on how the various products lasted for you. Cheers.
