Is this the one with a greenish bottle? Liquid inside also something like neon green or something? Spray on the tyres and you'd see all the brown crud melting and flowing down?

liquid is clear transparent though

spray on tires not much happens, on rims also you need to spray a LOT of it to see brown crud melting/flowing down. (basically it helps scrubbing/brushing, cut down time)

however if you're on good brake pads with reduced brake dusts, these days i just spray leave it few minutes and just hose off lol
only scrub a bit on the front wheels (rear drums)

Maybe your tire is huge, because I am still using it. Already applied 3 times on sedans.

Luckily for me the rims of the cars in my house are all relatively easy to clean ( no fancy slim gazillion spokes design ). But I can't reach the part which is after the spokes sad.gif. Is it really important to keep the rims free of brake dust even to the inner side of the rim?

The more frequently you clean, the easier it is to clean, and the least risk for the brake dust to eat through the paint and corrode the wheels. If already eaten through then only solution would be to repaint/refurb. That's all.

ok, what do you do about the dust particles that gather after leaving your car for a night? do you wife them off with a quik detailer or something like that?
i wouldn't go so far as to call them the best smile.gif but it works up to my expectations as a normal consumer.
fuuh.. 10 hours, must be including the interiors.. biggrin.gif
thanks for the tip. but wouldn't the IPA also remove any good work done from step 4?

ehehhe as for durability, i'm too lazy to do more analysis on it. so i just alternate between UQD and UQW during my weekly washes. I get good beading throughout the week, but i'm not sure which product it comes from.. biggrin.gif i'm just too ordinary of a user to bother..  blush.gif
you apply whatever last step products you;re using, be it natural carnauba waxes, sealents or coatings smile.gif

any recommended product for carnauba waxes on the market?

That's a very broad range, maybe better to start with a price range? Usually, the higher carnauba content, the higher the pricing biggrin.gif

Well...the Sonax works well for embedded/stubborn brake dust/iron contaminant but not so good in removing soil, dirt, oil film, etc.

I'm not actually using both together. All depends on what 'need' to be done. For normal weekly cleaning I just use an all purpose cleaner (Megs APC at 10:1). Wheel Brightener when/if I see the wheels requires something stronger or after doing heavy mileage (like balik kampung), ie. plenty of brake dust. I now only use the Sonax more for 'decontamination' job, i.e. those times when I want go for full details with the wheels taken off. Or when I just feel like having a little bit of fun watching the wheels turn purple....hehehe....
