Looking good. If you're looking to try an alternative wheel cleaner, try Sonax. It works extremely well and is ph balanced so it'll go easy on wheel finishes.

Looks great, brake dust on the factory brake pads are so bad.... About ready to swap pads already just to mitigate the dust lol. Wheels turn brown 10 minutes of driving after cleaning them.😭

I agree Sonax is great. I've used it for the past few cleanings and it seems to get 98% off the brake dust off without wiping. The high pressure hose is key.

I get sonax beast from DD all the time. still by far my favorite. how does Aenso compare?
stupid question: what is the order of which you apply cleaner/agitate/wash/rinse? do you rinse, spray cleaner, soap, agitate, rinse? or just spray cleaner, agitate, soap, agitate, rinse? or spray cleaner, soap, agitate, rinse? I see so many different methods and just get confused. what I really want to do is get retrofit F90 carbon ceramics on this platform. but yeah. that aint happening.

I still haven't opened the Sonax I got from your mystery box back in April (must get thru all my other products first...)
I have been using Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Pro All Wheel Cleaner and Iron Remover which is pH neutral
