LOL - yeah, twice in two days would be horrible. Man those fumes were toxic as hell.

Default This is what I did.....

1) Took the wheels off one side at a time.
2) Taped off anything near the calipers I didn't want painted or sprayed with caliper cleaner.
3) Cleaned the calipers with a spray that comes with the kit.
4) Painted each caliper twice. Used a big brush for large areas and a smaller brush to get into smaller areas.
5) While the wheels were off, gave them a good cleaning.
6) Put the wheels back on making sure not to hit the calipers.
7) Did the other side.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Once your wheels are off and clean you should WAX them with PASTE wax (100% carnuba recommended)
