Just got it. Much better for for sporty tires that have less sidewall and wheel well space. Def a plus to have around.

They are excellent brushes!

I went from the Tuff Shine type brush to one of the Detail Factory ones.

While they look similar, the longer and softer bristles of the DF version work much better. Typically, for tires you want short, stiff bristles. However the DF brush go's against the grain, the slightly softer and longer bristles seem to conform to the tire better without compromising cleaning ability.

I love it so much I bought a second one for scrubbing rubber floor mats.

It is a great show. We went there to celebrate my 50th birthday. The prices are crazy but the cars, the show and all the other activities going on are a ton of fun.

Last week it was Jaaaaag, this week I'm doing the same to a family members Ranger Wildtrak.

Decon process including a strip wash with Obsessed Garage Decontamination soap, bug removal with Koch Chemie Insect Remover, iron removal and claying.

Quick engine bay detail, using Koch Chemie Green Star APC and scrubbed with two brushes. Once rinsed, Meguiar's Hyper Dressing diluted at 3:1 for a satin finish. I then close the hood and leave it to dry.

Dried and taped up ready for polishing.

Paint was polished with Carpro Essence, a polish that offers some correction while also laying a base layer for a ceramic coating to bond to.

Glass was polished with P&S Clarity Creme, a very user friendly product that takes the glass to another level.

The car is now ready for ceramic coating, glass sealant and an interior detail, a job for tomorrow.

Continuing from the previous post, starting with a wipe down with Carpro Eraser prior to applying Gyeon Can Coat EVO to the paint and trim and Gyeon Quick View to the glass.

It was then onto the interior, cleaning and protecting the leather trim, plastics and glass.

Rubber floor mats cleaned and dressed.

Tires dressed with Carpro's new Darkside tire sealant.

Finished results......................

Exhausted but satisfied!
