    With the the freezing weather the car got ONR'd without debate, a 5minute pre soak on the lower panels I felt necessary... it was a quick 5 minutes, I was a wee bit chilly :shrug:

    [​IMG]

    I did the ONR wash indoors with the heat on, first I let the car defrost...

    [​IMG]

    Once I thawed the car with ONR and clayed it I dried everything. Wheels treated with a few coats of opti seal

    Cleaned, sealed and dressed

    Trim before

    This is clear film installed by Phil and his crew from DetailersDomain a few months prior... hands down some of the best film work I have seen... notice the lack of orange peel?

    Where did you get that awesome wheel brush! LOL Did you rinse the wheels with the hose and then ONR the body? The wheels look reallllllly clean.

    Dont leave the house without em!

    Some hack sold it to me, I dunno

    No, the RG brush was perfect for the tiny crevices of the lex wheel.... EZ brush was too big for the job! And yes the wheels I did with the hose and poorboys spray and rinse

    Nice work!

    I'm really liking my RG brush and mini EZ detail brush. I especially like using them on door hinge areas. They make easy work of getting around everything.

    Hey bro look into "seal skinz" gloves. I use them a LOT during cold weather. Not big and awkward as this big rubbers you were wearing.

    What did you use for sealant?
