Speaking of wheels, I spent the better part of 2 days going through the wheels before getting them balanced and the car aligned. I prefer to remove old balancing weights, clean up the wheels to my OCD.
Wheels didnt look too bad from one side
On back it was a different story. As much as I have quite a few brushes to clean the wheels it is very difficult to clean the wheels especially with MPerformance brake setup. There is so little space between the caliper and wheel that actually can't clean between there.

For the most part majority of the dirt came off easily, but it was the last 10% was a pain. These wheels came off a low mileage (30k) vehicle due to issues I had with the original wheels upon purchase . I noticed there was some sort of wax that hardened over time on the rear part of the wheel that really tried my patience. Some of that wax got in-between some spokes which also was time consuming.
came out eventually

The face of all the wheels are mint, there's no chips, scratches or curb trash at all.
Process included normal wash, iron out to remove any fallout, played, polish and ceramic coated.
Whenever one gets to this point, it always makes sense to do some unnecessary cleaning

And then multiply by 4. The carpet underliners have a purpose i know, but it's a mission to clean. Lol

So this stuff is the microdots/DataDots they spray on some parts to help with vehicle identification. Apparently it holds the vin details.

Looking good bro. Man I wish I can get time to clean my car properly again. Might just send it in for a detail again. It is almost a year since the last detail.

After all that the last time the hennops flooded there was a lot of polystyrene that was all over the road and it was the one day I decided on a different route to the gautrain. My luck,there was only one side of the road drivable and it was covered in MUD.
So will have clean up again...

It's been a bit less predictable, seem to get caught in more storms recently. Alternatively, you miss the storm but catch a few drops just to mess up the car
