Clean Dean

Clean Dean

Keep it clean !!!
I have seen some really badly braked on brake dust, but today I think I saw the worst baked on brake dust I've ever seen.
 
WOW! What did you use to clean them. I need something like that to do my daughter's car. Very nice job. How long did it take you?
 
The ride a...

1997 Chevy Suburban with 100k miles. I haven't detailed this car in a year, and it really needed it ...
 
Holy ****, I mean "Cow" :bigscream

Those were white? I was expecting shiny chrome...and then BAM!
Do you have to treat the painted rims more delicately than clearcoated or chromed, etc...? Do anything special?

Very nice transformation. Hopefully the customer will give you a call BEFORE they get that bad again.
 
Brake Dust...

I started with (2) different non-acid cleaners with the stonger being AM's Magnificent... Not a dent in the dust even at full strength !!!

So... Broke out the chemical resistant rubber gloves/goggles and AM's Spoke...

MUST USE WATER !!! Do not let this sit on wheel at full strength !!! Spray on agitate with wheel brush then rinse ... repeat, repeat, repeat until the dust is gone...

The truck was buffed with Meg's Speed Glaze then Menzerna Final Polish. UPP topped with AM's EZ Paste.
 
Car earlier in the morning...

Wish I had a better pic ...

This car was sooo nice. Single stage black paint ...

DACP + #83 + Menzerna final polish+ UPP+ EZ Paste.

Sorry I did not take more pics... Pushed for time ...

Nick... This pics would have been alittle better with more light...
 
:nono Dean, those results are only mediocre. I could have easily gone out and bought new wheels just as you did.

HAHA, those look fantastic. What a dramatic turn around on that. :wait
Ahhhhh, single stage black, what a beauty!! :wow
 
WOW!! :bigscream

Great job on the wheels, I was also expecting chrome but man that dust was baked on! The before and after pics are great. Awesome work Dean! :bow
 
Nice work Clean Dean, You really got hooked on that Menzerna FP after I told you about it huh. They have a FPII now.

Never the Less great results how are the other non-acid cleaners from AM. ?
 
I've used Magnificient from AM and the citrus wheel cleaner. Mag. works really good but I found that it doesn't really cut the baked on dust. The citrus cleaner didn't seem to work as good as the Mag., I was told it was the same thing, maybe it's just me. I love Spoke but like Dean said, you've got to be careful with it.
 
And i thought the wheels on that black C230 coupe were bad, jeez!

Nice work Dean, you have consistancy in making neglected cars beautful again.


As for the Mercedes, the paint is so deep i can almost dive into it~!
