The owner never really cleaned the wheel barrel. It was incredibly caked with brake dust, and took 3 cleanings with SONAX Full Effect to get clean.

The plastic mesh inserts were very dry and dull. Remedied with Swissvax Protecton after a thorough cleansing with P21s TAW.

Onto the engine bay... a piece of art on it's own... We cleaned the entire engine bay using P21s TAW and 1Z Blitz, and later protected the components with Swissvax Nano Express, Seal Feed,and Protecton.
