    Adding to the menu

    I'm thinking of adding a section under my A La Carte section of my menu.

    I was going to name it the "Pro Wheel Treatment"

    Will consist of the following..

    Step 1: Wash (duh)
    Step 2: Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner
    Step 3: Iron X
    Step 4: Clay
    Step 5: Car Pro Eraser
    Step 6: Optimum Opti-Seal
    Step 7: Collinite 845

    Any thoughts on this? I was thinking about charging $65-$80 for this.

    I've thought of this as well. The only thing that has held me back is that to really do it right, the wheel needs to come off. I'm not sure I want to take on that liability as the customers who'd order this would have cars that I'd be a tad worried about sitting on a jack.

    This is true, if you were to seal of the rotors and pads and leave the wheels on it'd be tough tog et to the wells of the wheels

    Why would you do both #2 and #3? Isn't the point of Sonax is that it also removes iron?

    I see that Sonax removes grime and brake dust but nothing regarding iron from what i've read.

    Brake dust is iron.

    Yeah i understand that however, i feel as if Iron X is more concentrated and will remove the excess after Sonax

    Yeah I'd really think that would be a service where the wheels would have to be removed to hit the barrels well

    Re: Adding to the menu

    Why waste the time if you can achieve the same results in less steps with less effort?

    Use Iron-X or wheel brightener to clean the wheel once. Clay. Seal with hydro2. Dry.

    The average Joe might know about Meguiars...goodluck with Sonax, Optimum, Car Pro, Etc...it doesn't mean anything to the customer. What means something to the customer...Is my wheel clean? Yes or no? Is it protected? Yes or no?

    How you clean the wheel, the products you use, etc is not relevant to the customer.

    I would think about how to clean wheels as fast and efficient as possible, then try to up-sell long lasting protection (coating) on top of the regular wheel cleaning. People will spend $50 or more per wheel for multi-year or permanent protection.

    Opti-seal is like 3-6 months of protection right?
