    down to about 4 ounces of 425, I started seriously getting stressed. I have been placing 425 on my wheels after cleaning them with a toss-away mf. To not do this now seems just plain wrong, hit the center of a towel with 425, get it good and saturated. I also have dp wheel glaze on the...

    tampico odor neutralizer ??

    Bought these spoke brushes, which work well, but they reek to high heaven. Any idea, I don't want to mess up the brushes, wondering what to try, I already let them sit outside overnight a couple nights after letting them sit in APC and water for a hour. Still stinky.
