Have you tried using some WD40 and letting it sit there and then tried to clean it.

You can use any aio. Like Megs- (D151, 6, 66, cleaner wax), optimum poliseal, Klasses aio. When you talk about the engine cleaner thingy. Are you talking about the Ez detail brush. Cause I think Autozone now has a really long spoke brush.

I had to take alot of pics. To make sure anyone got what I was talking about. Sure it would have been eaiser to just do a video. But don't have a video camera.

All these products you used on your car is safe for the car right? Any slight wear&tear after using these products for a long time? Such as a more unusual fading after the products wear out? How long does the dressing and window molding dressing last?

I was real impressed at how everything came out man GJ!
