Thanks for the info and help guys.

I had been reading that this was a preferred method for some people. Although they did agree that the foaming and rinse before the 2 bucket wash wasn't necessary. BTW: Is a specific foaming soap necessary or can I use my Griots brilliant finish soap? Basically, can I use any OTC car wash...

I have no plans on buying a pressure washer. But I would like to use something like a foam canon but from what I understand I'm looking for a foam gun. I do have a compressor and I've think I've seen foam guns in videos that appear to attach to both your hose and a stand alone compressor (I...

Thanks for that input. Is this mentioned on their site? Regardless, I'm going to do some spritzing of the TW product on my wheels very soon and then migrate to the painted door jams and less conspicuous areas to see how we work together. As a side note, would the TWHS be any good on wheel...

Thank you for the suggestions and guidance. I'm fairly confident in my DIY detailing routines but with all these new coatings and treatments that are out there I guess I need a little hand holding and guidance before jumping into the deep end. I'm basically old school and up until purchasing...

The car came with a dealer added paint protection covering. I know this was an unnecessary add on to pay for but there were other concessions when I bought it. With that said, I'm not sure exactly what was used. I can tell you one thing, whoever did it did one heck of a great job. It looks...

The trim on my new 2022 Pilot is looking new and I'd like to keep it that way. The SUV's paint is the darker metallic "Modern Steel Metallic". The trim around the wheels and bumper has a lighter grey look to it. I have gone through the site and searched but most posts address trim that needs...

I shouldn't be spending too much time on this car in total. As I stated it's basically a 2nd car for us and will be a garage queen. It's really not getting driven much at all. We've had it for 9 days and only have 107 miles on it. The limited use should really cut down on the amount of time...

Those are the wheels. As the car sits right now they are brand spanking new, no scratching. I do realize that this black is going to be a bear keeping clean. I'm retired with lots of time so staying on top of them should not be a problem. There is plenty of room to get my hands in there...

That's the plan.

I'll be treating everything on this new car with the utmost care. MF fiber towels are my friend. As stated above, I'm able to get my hands into and onto the entire wheel without having to remove it. I can even get in between the caliper and the wheel with my hand and MF cleaning mitt. My plan...

Thank you for the tips and product recommendations. They're going to get their first washing later this week and I'll see how good my access to the entire wheel is. I don't mind the extra effort to clean a wheel face, I'm mostly concerned with keeping those barrels shiny for as long as...

Just purchased a 2022 Pilot SE with the shiny black wheels (20 inch). Since they are basically new (100 miles) they don't require any aggressive cleaning. I'm using Mothers non-acidic cleaner on our older Honda's wheels and it seems to work just fine. I plan on doing a light wipe down of the...
