Yet another very informative video, can't go wrong if you follow these steps Heather.

This clip deserves a ‘thumbs up.’ I’ve never witnessed a detailer discussing the use cost of a product or how use cost may dictate the wash process. Also, your justification on acid cleaning wheels…all very interesting and educational. Great work!

Very satisfying video. Inspires me to get out and detail my car (again). Thank you.

Great video Heather. Some really useful information in there and some of the products you used I will definitely like to invest in. Thanks again 🙂

Nice to see a video on how you personally clean wheels, which most people seem to overlook when cleaning a car. If the wheels look good then the car looks better. Keep up the good work....

Great process Heather, I too am a big fan of Green Star added benefit it has its own corrosion inhibitor too. 👍

I always watch your videos. I support you^^

Great summary for a thorough clean - nice one!! The big trick on your own car is, as you cover: get 'em clean and keep 'em protected! Makes cleaning so much easier! Bilt Hamber Touch-less snow foam stage can really help as that pre-wash too. In winter I flip to doing wheels after the car's pre-wash as the car stays wet after its pre-wash rinse. You can see how powerful Touch-less is then too!

Another fantastic insight Heather. You always get the bits in that others miss, which is why i think your channels is so brilliant. Some wheels have fussy designs and this will really help people with those. The quickest safest all in one that I use when tight on time and the customer is willing to pay an uptick is Stajrnagloss Hjul. You can hit the tyre and the wheel in one go and its really effective at both jobs. The downside is the cost, (its not a cheap product even in bulk) hence the price uptick. I combine this with Geyon Wetcoat to protect at an extra cost of £3:00 per wheel. For the standard wash I use Green Star on both wheel and tyre on a reasonably clean wheel or Bilt Hamber Autowheel if its more dirty. Both are very cost effective. (Green Star is just such a life saver.. definitely my go to all round product). Fully agree with your brush theory, a mitt is a must for me, particularly on anything with a gloss black finish which scratches up sooo easily. Even Silver wheels cleaned regularly with acid and a brush will quickly loose their shine.
