Quick snow foam and Sonax full effect wheel cleaner, Impala SS

[Alex Boyce]

Hey everyone,

I just had shoulder surgery a few days ago and had some time to post my last clean up of my car. Pretty simple stuff but I recently purchased a pressure washer and a foam cannon and LOVE it.

Also I've been using Sonax full effect wheel cleaner religiously, even though it doesn't show that dramatic before/after on my rims.

Anyway here's a few pics of my fun.

Sonax being applied, neon green.

Starting to turn red

They were brushed and thoroughly rinsed.

I applied some UPGP to the rims about a month (1200 miles) ago and as you can see they are still beading up very nicely.

Next I used about 4 oz. of DP Xtreme foam in the foam cannon and laid down a layer of foam.

Then washed using 2 bucket method with DP auto bath. Blown mostly dry then followed up with Pinnacle Liquid Souveran.

A few days after the clean up I put the factory 18's on in preparation of the glorious Michigan winter soon to come.

Thanks for looking!!

looks good, needs lowered though imo. I want a foam cannon so bad

Agreed!! Looking to put some SSC springs on it next spring.

The foam shots never really get old to me, love it.

Nice work, Pinnacle Souveran looks great on black.

You just want him to get stuck in the snow, don't you? :laughing:

I like it. Do you think you can maintain your wheels with just soap and water since you have them sealed? Just curious I guess.

Car looks great where did you get those rearviews from? How much?

I'm sure I can, I was just playing around with the Sonax, I love UPGP on rims and windows, its AMAZING!

The rims in the pics are off now, the factory rims are back on and got a coat of UPGP as well. I'm sure through the winter I'll be applying a new coat every time I was the rims. The salt here is insane in the winter time.

Completely agree. When you put on big wheels and tires, you have to get the stance right. We worked on that a lot on my car when I was building it.

The Griot's HD Wheel Cleaner works well too.

Looks great! I'm lowering my whip in the spring

Looks great. Having a foam cannon makes for a faster wash. Even though there is an extra step.

I saw in one of the pics that you have a huge floor drain in your garage. Wish I had one in mine.

 

[Alex Boyce]

The floor drain is great, I usually pull the car halfway in so that it is out of the sun. The downfall is that the drain can't hold that much water so I have to be somewhat careful when I play in there.

That's what I'm afraid of, lake effect snow is no joke over here.
