    I haven't used TUGA Devil Special Wheel Cleaner before, but I'll definitely give it a try. ���� Oh, and I see you're using CarPro IronX Snow Soap and Poorboys Super Slick & Foam Pre Wash Snow Foam, both great products. ���� Your last step products are on point! CQuartz Finest Reserve ceramic coating is always a go-to for any serious detailer, and I love how you're using CQuartz Dlux Wheel and Trim Coating and Sonus Trim and Motor Kote to protect and shine all the different surfaces.

    It's a "Do it once...Do it right."
    I've tried the less expensive products.
    I call it "The high cost of saving money."

    I notice you often use Iron X Snow Soap. Do you find the Iron X Snow Soap replaces the need for regular Iron X (or other Iron removers) to remove bonded metals so the coating adheres properly or sometimes you get cars bad enough you still need to use traditional Iron X?

    I like the Iron X Snow Soap for a prep wash because...it helps with "dwell time" to lift contaminants.
    After the prep wash, I test an area with regular Ironx. If there are still contaminants I spray down the car before rinsing and then "clay".
    I also use IronX snow soap to "wash/decon" paint that has a coating on it.

    Interesting, so when using regular Iron X, the Iron X Snow is still on the car and then you "clay" with with I assume some form of clay towel/mitt/ and the Iron X Snow is acting as your "clay" lubricant if I understand you? At first I would have thought the Iron X Snow would dilute the sprayed Iron X buy now that I think of it, really no more than spraying on a wet vehicle.

    Did your Rupes 21 come with a 5" backing plate or did you swap the 6" backing plate that came with it for a 5" backing plate?
