  • how to detail wheel and arch

    Hi all..i'm newbie from Jakarta, Indonesia and i would like to share my routine in Detailing.

    [spoiler=topic :]
    how to detail wheel and arch[/spoiler]

    [spoiler=tools :]
    meguiars super degreaser
    meguiars apc+
    meguiars all season dressing
    meguiars wheel brightener
    meguiars hotshine
    chemical guys jetseal
    applicator pad
    RM tire brush
    RM spoke brush
    RM soft brush
    RM microfiber
    applicator
    Hydrolic Jack
    after market sprayer



    [/spoiler]

    my car, unwashed for 5 days, lots of brake dust, road tar etc.


    next step, i use my standard car jack to make the cleaning process easier. please make sure sure car jack is in good condition.


    since i dont have pressure washer, i only use normal washer. spray the water liberaly into the wheel and arch.



    prepare meguiars wheel brightener, pour into sprayer bottle, i use 1:4 ratio, spray meguiars wb liberaly and then agitate using wheel brush.





    use your favorite spoke brush to clean the dust. For the lug nut you can use soft bristle




    after all part of the wheel cleanes, spray with water and dry with microfiber towel



    wheel done, now we move into the arch..yaikksss...very dirty



    use meguiars apc+, dilute 1:7 with water, spray liberally into the arch




    clean with brush, since i dont have long handle brush i use brand new toilet brush, very effective indeed.



    leave for a while, it make the cleaning agent in apc+ works better


    spray with water



    after all dreay, then its time to dress the arch, i use meguiars all season dressing. eventhough meguiars hyper dressing works great but i really like megs asd.spray ASD liberally and let it dry




    for the last step, lets dress the tire, i use hot shine tire gel.




    to make it even better, i protect the rims with Chemical Guys Jet Seal. CGJS works really well in white color, resulting clear bright color. with adding protection also will make future cleaning a lot easier.




    end result : not perfect but dramatically improve






    another job, spare wheel..

    spray megs wheel brightener and leave for a while


    use soft brush to clean and spray with water


    for dressing i use Hyper dressing 1:2

    before and after



    my opinion :
    megs WB cleaning power : 9/10
    megs ASD : 8/10
    megs HD : 8.5/10
    jetseal : 8/10
