This vehicle was booked for a simple wash and seal. The vehicle:

2008 Infinity G35X

This is what we were up against:

First up the wheel wells receive a healthy coat of P21S Total Auto Wash:

The rims receive a coat of P21S Gel:

Tires receive a good coat of ARO. Now to agitate the wheel wells the long handle brush was not going to fit in to the narrow space so a black ShMITT is used and scrubbed manually.

Inner rims were agitated with our EZ brush:

Face of the rims were agitated with a Swissvax brush, the tires were scrubbed with a Meg’s tire brush:

This is how all that scrubbing looks like:

Now ready to be rinsed off:

This method was done to all the wheel wells, rims and tires.

Now for the rest of the body, the two bucket method is used and the shampoo of choice is Pinnacle Shampoo:

Next the CR System is connected and the entire vehicle is given a quick rinse, the vehicle was quite dirty so the entire exterior received a healthy coat of P21S Total Auto Wash:

The entire vehicle is washed and rinsed off, first as much water as possible is removed with the help of an air compressor. Followed up with a waffle weaved micro fiber towel.

Once the entire vehicle is dried it’s now ready to receive a good coat of DG 105 applied with the help of the Polishing pal with a white pad:

Once DG 105 is applied to the body of the vehicle and the rims, it’s left to bond with the vehicle and wile the sealant is bonding, tires are dressed with Optimum Tire Gel and window’s are finished off with the help of Stoners Invisible Glass and a glass micro fiber towel.

DG 105 is removed with several Cookie Monsters micro fiber towels and now for the end results:

Well hope you enjoy, this vehicle will soon be coming back to us for a the Ambassador treatment but for now this should protect it.

I had a question since you use both ARO and TAW. How do the 2 compare? Also, why not just use TAW or ARO for both wheel wells and tires, how come one for each? THanks

Great clean up yet again.

Well to be honest in my opinion it comes down to what you like and what works for you. For me, I wont detail with out both of these products, P21S TAW and ARO. They each have there strenths and most importantly they each play a very important role in my arsenal. I mean for engine bays and wheel wells I'll always use P21S TAW for tires ARO is a very good product, is it cost effective to use both? It depends on what your personal preference is but if money is tight you can pick one and stick with it. For me I don't mind spending the extra as long as I get the results I'm after, it's worth it...to me that is, but if money is an issue make due with what you can afford and adjust your technique to fit the products you can play with.....not sure if this helps but just my personal opinion
