I just ordered a Porter Cable 7424. I have to try to get rid of this key mark. I used scratch-x on it and it helped a little...

it's hard to tell how big it is, but it's the length of my back door.

hey peleg, AWESOME thread...im planning on washing my car tomorrow...just one question...i know you reccommend P21S for the wheels, but i just purchased Black Magic Titanium Wheel Cleaner...have you heard of this? and do you have anything good or bad to say about it? thanks.

**WESTI** · 03-11-2007, 01:21 AM

i use p21s and i have to say it is the best wheel cleaner out there. any other wheel cleaner would probably be fine though.....

Never used it, so I can't comment.

I did used their wax back in the days. Their wax sucked.

i had clay bar`d the car about 3 weeks ago, and did a #6 cleaner wax.

this time i did a #9 swirl remover
#7 shine wax
#26 shine and sealant

Very very nice. This is what the WRB should look like!

I see you're also a fan of the # 7, #26 method.

Where do you get P21S wheel cleaner? Can you get that from like Walmart or the Autoparts Store? I've never seen it in either place, but the bottle looks pretty non-descript from what I've seen on google.

Peleg, thanks for all the tips, especially on the headlights!

You can only get P21S online, such as autopia.org or properautocare.com . You will not find it in your autoparts store or Walmart.

P21S isn't available locally, that's the bummer with it.

You can get it at:

http://www.autopia-carcare.com

http://www.autogeek.net

Also, I recommand buying the 500ml bottle of P21S and using that to make small batches of 25% concentrate and 75% hot water and spray that on the wheels.

ok, finally took care of it last night and it came out just about perfect. I'll be the only person that will notice anything..

here is the after

^ the line that you see is a reflection from the parking space. My car is pretty dirty, I can't wait to do the entire thing
