The brake dust will come off a lot easier with a hose and quick agitation by using the Hydro2 In my other thread here about cleaning the wheels.
I have ordered Hydro2 already.. waiting for it to be delivered.. I wish I had seen this post earlier.. I would have ordered the wheel cleaner as well... is there any local wheel cleaner I can use... I dont want to end up spending on shipping again..

Any wheel cleaner sold it auto-parts stores fine if it's a national brand Mcguires turtle wax etc. that's why I buy gallons, so I don't have to do any of the shipping stuff a lot.

Pictures look great OP!!!

Glen, I really would like to see a picture of where you keep all your detailing products lol. I am just imagining an entire condo you rent/bought on the side with custom built shelves, all labeled and in alphabetic order!

Directly from the Camera.

My friend clicked these with his Nikon and gave me the SD card right away!

I tried the Sonax on the exhaust tips, then cleaned it with a cloth. They are all shiny now!!
Next time I will coat them with Hydro2 to seal shine....

Sonax is awesome!

doesn't matter what the weather is. birds and trees hate your shiny clean car. Silly people in Irvine litter parking lots with trees. Pretending like we're not changing into a desert climate. You know what doesn't cause tree and bird crap all over my car? Cacti and shrubbery.

I'm almost over trying to keep it shiny.

Can't wait to try this, finally. I ordered all the stuff for this today. Thanks to Glen being extremely knowledgeable and patient. I have on purpose leave my car pretty dirty for my standards (wash every week, traditionally or touch less car wash once a week if it's freezing out), would've washed it at least once already but I am going to put the rinseless to the test and see how amazing and easy the results are achieved! I may or may not have tires behind my my front and rear tires from doing pulls and making clouds haha which will be pretreated first then will use the rinseless.

Rinseless is not a "magical" product precedure, if your car i s dirty, meaning your gloss is obsured with true splashed on dirt, spary wand it first. It is meant to ieep your car nice in good weather. Not the terrible up north winter months.

Yeah, no worries. I am damn sure it'll get the job done. Key point is the pre-treating like you mentioned which is something I will do. After the first wash, it will all be golden I am sure.
