Got the chance to work on an R500 that was in poor condition. The wheels were heavily caked in brake dust, interior has yogurt thats been sitting for over a month, and car was dirty. Anyways, the cars lease is up soon so the owner decided to not have a full detail. He just wanted it cleaned up and have a coat of wax on it (BH Autobalm) so it could hide a bit of the defects. Wish I could have been more thorough, but owner said not to worry about it.

Thanks, I did what I could with it. I went over the inside of the wheels twice with APC and thats the best I could do with it. It was covered with tar and heavily baked on brake dust. I was ready to use my tar remover but I called the owner first to make sure he wanted it removed, and he said not to worry. It's a lease and he's returning it at the end of the month.
Mate, that thing WAS in poor condition. Terrible. Nice one turning it around to what it's supposed to look like!
Very nice job Brendan! I hate having constraints put on me when I detail. My jobs are done my way or they can take them somewhere else. I just ordered another RG bush from Ken, just in case mine breaks. Oh, and yogurt? Bullshit...His wife was in the passenger seat with a porn star....that's the rumour I'm starting, hahahaha.
Thanks, sorry I didn't respond earlier. To be honest I like Zep Citrus better. It smells better, wheels come out with a brighter finish IMO, and is a lot more cost efficient for me. I did the passenger side on my sisters car with Zep 3:1 and SGS 3:1, the passenger side came out a lot brighter. Also pulled more grime out of the tires. Love my RG brush, I'm lucky Ken's close to me so I don't need to purchase a spare. But I use it on every detail, hasn't let me down. It's amazing on tricky rims to, like these:
