Superb once again. You did this Caddy 2-3 years ago didn't you?

Thank you Sir!

Good seeing here again...

The raceglaze XL brush is a very thin, long brush that is used to clean the barrels of rims.. It simply is the best brush I have ever used for the barrels of rims...

Since I know 1st hand how clean you keep your garage queens, you wont need such a brush for those but, for your daily driver I can see this coming in real handy!

I will send you an email now with some more info...
