    That foam gun with the DR Extreme is a lot of fun to use!


    For wheels and inside fenders:



    Sample of what I wanted to clean first:

    The inner part of the wheels bothered me quite a bit. No problem, I got just the BRUSH for that!

    I used System One X3 with the Chicago polisher for about 30mins and it just would not turn on anymore. So I went ahead with the PC, LC orange to remove scratches-man that took a long time! Followed with Klasse AIO, white pad on speed #3 and hand topped with Klasse HGSG.
    Clayed and Klasse AIO before the X3 of course.

    Thanks to everyone's input here. Definitely made a difference for me!
