That is a fantastic collection of car care products & equipment. I know I can be obsessive about cleaning & detailing my vehicles.

What about a wheel cleaner? I'm not a pro, but I would suggest Sonax Wheel Cleaner Full Effect. I just didn't see one on your list.

The P21S Wheel Gel in his list will do fine. Can even use the TAW with maintenance washes as to not strip the polish off your wheels. That is if you actually polish your wheels.

Thank you! I know how you feel, I'm pretty anal about how my car/or a customer's car should look too.

P21S TAW/wheel gel gets the job done great. Although i would never use it on a "polished/chrome lip. There is always a potential to fog it up. I only use TAW/wheel gel for factory equipped wheels. Aftermarket wheels I just use car soap.

I guess the wheel cleaner question has been answered. Get P21S.....best wheel cleaner I have used.

The IPA/DI is not necessary. Just use straight 70% IPA to remove the polishing oils. I discovered that if you buy the 32oz IPA a spray trigger will fit mking it easier to apply.

Thanks for the advice on IPA. Will definitely try that instead of diluting!
