Final stages:
I have yet to touch my wheels. So I jacked the car up on 4 jack stands and removed each wheel for a wash in dawn and the same treatments of zaino Z2 polish, Z8, and Clear Seal. Here is a comparison of a rawly washed wheel and a fully treated wheel:
Before Zaino:
After:
A bit hard to see the difference I know, also I have my iphone camera to blame. The bottom pic thought has a much deeper wet look to it as well as a super slick feel.
I feel this was a very important step as the wheels see a bunch of weather and a treatment should do them very good.
The final product with some nice sunshine today:
I went out driving so it got some dust on it but nothing all that bad and you get the picture
I estimate total hours spent was around 20 hours.
Was it worth the work? Absolutely!!!
