Seriously neglected the family Matrix. It hasn't been washed since early last summer. So it had heavy road grime all over, and the winter wheels haven't been cleaned for 2 winters now. I just did a wash and wax, didn't do any claying as it's not worth it for me. I used a pressure washer to get at wheel wells and blast off as much grime as possible before hitting it with my sheepskin washmitt. Heres the process/pictures:
Wash:
- 2 Bucket Method w/ Grit Guards
- EuroW Sheepskin Washmitt
- Meguiars Gold Class
- Zep Citrus
Wheels/Tires:
- Zep Citrus Degreaser 3:1
- Raceglaze XL Wheel Brush
- Laitner Wheel Brush
- Swissvax Wheel Brush
- Meguiars Tire Brush
- Old Sponge cut in half
- Michaels Paint Brush
- Gloss-It Signature Tire Gloss
- Blackfire All Metal Sealant
Last Step Protection:
- Bilt Hamber Auto Balm
- Distilled Water
- Blackfire Applicator Pad
- Autowerkes Exclusive 530 Towel
