lol thx! i use mild car wash soap on wheels usually as i do them 2x a month
typically. if they're super grungy or when i have them off and do
the barrels i'll use SG diluted to got a bit easier on the paint.

yea suspension... i know crazy. only cuz ill be working on it and figure
ill douse the suspension, let it sit a while then hose off.

its funny but when the wheel wells are clean / black it actually makes a
big difference in how clean the car looks. OCD FTW! =)
