    Applying decals BEFORE or AFTER detailing?

    I got a set of new bright white wheels that come with a set of red decals that I have to apply myself. I'm thinking that the white will get dirty very easily so I wanted to seal and wax them good before mounting them (I figured a couple coats of Klasse SG + AIO will do?), so that the grime...

    applying 303 on tires and black trim

    My first detailing! Could use some advice!

    I just finished claying my silver '99 Honda Accord coupe... Don't even ask how long it took! It's beautiful... Visually, there's not much of a difference, but I can't tell you how many times I've run my hand along the smooooth body. When I get home today, I plan to wash and polish and wax...
