And it comes with a high pressure nozzel and a mini scrubber for the wheels? Well i want that mini scrubber for the wheels...anyone have a website with that product or something similar to it? Its such a pain in the knees to srub those 16 spoke sport wheels with a sponge, it'd be awesome to have an extended scrubber i could use instead.

Default Try applying some car wax to the wheels when their clean...(more)

it helps when the time comes to remove the brake dust. I put some on mine and all I have to do is wipe(and only once at that) it off, REALLY easy. A real "back saver". It's the best thing i have done for my wheels!!

Default Actually i did do that...and it has worked really well...i can just spray off most of the dirt...but

to get them really clean, i still have to whipe down every inch of them, thanks though.

Default You still need to change the pads - I am sorry I waited so long to do mine.

besides the longer you wait the harder it is to change them out since you have to push the piston in further.
