(^Wheels are removed for cleaning) Just received my order from Autogeek and can't wait to start detailing for real now. Over the years I always took extreme care of my vehicles as well as a few others. The kicker was I was using OTC products to do so and it just wasn't cutting it. I always...

+1 They look pretty deep to me as well, and from what I can see from the pic the rest the hood seems covered in road chips. If you can steal the hood, maybe it is worth the fixing!

Do your prices differ by compact/ sedan/ SUV as well as neglect of vehicle? I did not see that mentioned. Otherwise, great and organized setup and site!

Hey man, being that you helped me out a little while back I figured I'd try to return the favor somewhat. You asked about the KBM and I just read a couple write-ups on this that really put things into perspective, a lot of reading but well worth it. Here are two links to two threads one by KB...

Thank you for your input, how do you think Meg's WB will react or should I say how do you think my wheels will react to the acidity of WB? But yes, sounds like I am going to have to clay the wheels most-definitely. At least it is seeming I have a solution here, and if I dont get them a perfect...

Very interesting! I figured polish would do the trick but would be tough between the 12 to 90 period, sounding like Opti-Coat is like a resin in a sense. Otherwise sounds very interesting and worth it to keep wheels perfect especially. Since if anything di bond to the surface it will bond to...

Taking off the tires/wheels will be no problem and most likely will be what I will be doing for a major cleaning. Now Opti-Coat is this something an inexperienced detailer should use with caution as it is more permanent compared to say any other sealant, LSP, wax? I read up on it and it seems...

I can't thank you enough for all of your advice. You have helped me as well as a lot of other users that may have read up on this thread!

The list does keep working its way up! I have heard mixed reviews about Sonax, main complaint was the price. So it probably works great just hurts the wallet. How do you feel about the detailing clay as mentioned earlier? As of right now it seems I am going to have to wait until I make my order...

Added to my order, thanks! This will come in handy along with the DP Pad Rejuvinator. Followed your advice along with along member who said I could live without the yellow pads first time around, if not indefinately! Unfortunately it didn't save money because I added more than I dropped, go...

What about CarPro Trix Tar & Iron Remover? And are there any OTC clay bars I can pick up as I would just use the bar for wheels only after initial use so they can be cheap.

Yes, have tried wheel cleaners. It removed most but left the stubborn brake dust in the pics above.

Great info! I can't thank you enough for the in depth reply. I am going to sit back and watch some videos for application as well as buy some painter's tape which I did not think of. What do you recommend for a pad brush/ cleaner? That is one thing I haven't really covered yet. Also great idea...

What kind of clay should I buy to clean these wheels up? Was recommended to buy detailing clay to clean wheels. What OTC clay can I get cheap to use on wheels as it most likely will be ruined afterward? Also do I apply with wheel cleaner or lubricant/quick detailer? Thanks in advance, trying to...

Thanks for the input! Would this work or only just plain Iron X CarPro TRIX Tar and Iron Remover, paint cleaner

The one I sold prior was a 2002 with a naturally aspirated 4.6L not the 5.0. They got rid of the 5.0 in I believe 95 and of course brought it back today! Anyways no supercharger there, I had all the normal bolt ons done to the car and all that was left was to slap a blower on it and do some...

I dont know what happened but the original correct thread is here, this thread is half posted. Other thread has pictures and description: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/51645-mustang-cobra-needs-tlc.html

I did see that headlight restoration kit, I might have to look into that. And detailing clay for brake dust on wheels? Really, never heard of that. Sounds interesting, I'd be surprised if it works. Do I use the clay with regular lubricant or a mild wheel cleaner?

After selling my 2002 Mustang GT about two months ago, I finally found and bought the car I was looking for. A 2003 Torch Red 10th Anniversary Mustang Cobra! The car is build number 1689 of only 2003 made and is in great shape inside and out all the way down to the engine bay. After cleaning the...
