Nice! Can't wait until it's warm enough to give my car a proper cleanup.

One question what wheel brush is that? It looks like it has some stiff bristles. I use wheel woolies and a boars hair brush to clean mine but it is a pita using 5 different brushes to clean a wheel.

I think it looks like a SpeedMaster brush to me. I use wheel woolies on mine, I have the 3 sizes and normally use the largest and the medium one along with a retired wash mitt and a foam tool for doing around the lugs. I found the biggest thing for speeding up my wheel cleaning process was putting a coating on, now I rarely need to use wheel cleaner to remove the brake dust, my regular wash soap is enough with some light agitation. I use the wheel woolies on the barrels, the mitt for the face and the lug tool. I still find myself spending about a third of the time cleaning the wheels as I do washing the paint work but it's pretty easy and less aggressive that without the coating on the rims.

I think wheel waxes and sealants would probably help too but probably not last a full season+ like my coating does.

If I drove a GT3, I'd drive my Cayenne Winter beater on the salty,snowy roads! That would avoid the necessity for a clean up.

Waxes and sealants definitely help. In the winter I only run my car through the touchless unless it's warm enough to had wash. The wheels build up a nice coating of salt to go with the brake dust. I use Sonax with some warm water and All Purpose for the tires. They come out spotless but as mentioned but there is no easy way to do them.

So was this 100% touchless on the car body? Hard to believe you can get all that grime off?

no we did clean it up with a sponge in between the decon and the rinse, not sure why it didn't make the video, we did this one fast as the customer was waiting.
