    Just as the title states, do you need a dedicated metal sealant for underhood use? Specifically things that get quite hot, uncoated, polished valve covers and a supercharger for example. Klasse AIO and call it a day or would the underhood temps. cause an issue?

    Whats your cheapest car wash?

    $40 Standard wash/dry. Tires/wells dressed. Interior vacuumed and dusted. Interior windows cleaned. I charge an additional $10 for SUVs. Of course, I don't rely on detailing as apart of my income. I'm a little high, but then again this is a hobby for me. Any money earned through detailing...

    Consider trying Ultima TTGP? I've not used it on wheel wells, but seems to hold up great on my radiator cover. Roughly a month so far, still holding on strong.

    It's far too cold for me to walk out to the garage and snap pics, but imagine a filthy black 05 mustang gt, on jackstands without wheels/tires, brakes, shocks/struts, exhaust, or mirrors. I need to win the lottery. Work is limiting my wrench time.
