Default My routine ..

With my OEM S4 Avus rims: I spray on P21S, let it soak for 2 minutes. Hose off. Wash with Sonax car shampoo and a terry cloth. Rinse off. Dry with my leaf blower. Apply lighter fluid to a terry cloth, for the tar/junk/left over debris. Then, Zaino Z2. Done .. Nice ..

Lighter fluid is a nice idea...I used STP Gas treatment on a rag today

Default I am currently road-testing a wheel that's 1/2 RejeX, 1/2 "bare"...

I cleaned the whole wheel to the point of claybarring it, it's pristine. Applied RejeX to half, left the other half alone. I'll have the results posted on my site once I can get a month of really bad crud on my tires.<ul><li><a href="http://www.sportscarcare.com/scc/product.asp?ItemID=cor-rej">RejeX at SportsCarCare.com</a></li></ul>

Default What's the point of this?

I could understand treating half the wheel with rejex, and half with some other product. But leaving half the wheel untreated only tells you rejex is better than nothing. Hell, I would take that on face value, without the experiment to back it up.

Wax is good. Also, a dryer sheet wiped over the rims works wonders if you don't have time to wax.

Default Or Rejex vs. Wheel Wax.

Speaking of which, whatever happened to Bruce the WheelWax guy? He disappeared once his AW advertising time ran out. No surprise there, I guess. They all do.
