Default Startin to get a little reflection off that forehead dude. Heard of Rogain?
JUST JOKING, nice polish and interior detail. I bought some of those microfibre gloves we were discussing in last week post. Gonna wash the car then stick the glove on and try using the left over soappy water with glove on the wheels. If it works well I'll keep it just for doing wheels. Got to be faster than a brush. I'll clue you guys in next week. Like the BBS but they a pain.

Default Rogain doesn't work on hairlines, or on bad attitudes
I figure on 10 minutes before I start to wash, just to do wheels

Default You're going to complain about brake dust to the dealer? Hahahahah.
Maybe you should get some wheels that are easier to clean?

Default Very remote chance of that... your dust looks about normal for 50 miles.
I used to wash my car, go for a drive through the hills, and come back with about that much dust. Seems normal for stock pads.
