if anyone is thinking of getting the Wheel Woolies - do so as they are superb imo :thumb:

wheels and arches done, onto the paintwork. rinsed first then foamed;






all badges, shuts, crevices where a mitt might miss cleaned with Envy brushes;








foam rinsed off, re-foamed to add more lubrication to the wash, further reducing the risk of inflicting swirls, washed with the TBM and SN shampoo;





clayed with Sonus Green clay and FK #146 as lube;





(not much to report here, as expected bottoms of doors were the worst areas)
rinsed again and dried with an Uber drying towel - sonus der wunder used for wheels;
