Porsche Carrera 4S: Basic Detail with Deluxe Wheel Clean
http://polishedworks.com/category/wheel-care/ Here’s a Porsche I detail 3-4 times a year. It was pretty dirty! But being that it is well taken care of (usually) and garage kept, clean up is fairly easy and only a basic detail is needed most of the time.
The wheels and calipers were extra dirty so a Deluxe Wheel Clean was performed on each wheel. I recommend this service on all sports cars or vehicles with premium or after market rims for a few reasons; first, you can not properly clean the caliper without removing the wheel in most cases. They don’t paint it a bright color and tag it with “Porsche” (or whatever else) just so it can sit filthy in plain view. Another reason is that the wheel fills out 99% of the wheel well. Removing the wheel gives you a chance to properly clean the wheel well and inspect the wear of the tire.
Lastly, as you can see below, you cant not clean the entire wheel with it on the car. Most of these types of cars have an extremely wide wheel, and cleaning only half of it looks pretty bad.
These are all AFTER pictures. Notice the rims and the bright calipers.
