lol why would you use a toothbrush unless you're a masochist!?

You can buy brushes that are like $6-$11 each, with varying bristle stiffness, and they last years.

I bought 3 Mothers brushes like 3 years ago and I'm still using them.

wheel contour brush. Hard bristles, great for tires and rim face.

long handle brush. Medium bristles, great for wheel wells and your wheel's barrel.

Wheel brush. a bonus brush if your feeling a bit extra. Has really soft bristles. Really gets a great lather going on your wheels.

> Griots Garage Fiber Mit

Great kit.

> 2 or 3 buckets with Grit Guards

You can stick to 2 buckets to save money and just rinse it out after washing the wheels before starting your wash.

> Several Brushes for my wheels/Liners

I suggest getting the following brushes. Mothers wheel brush, Mother's wheel well brush, Tuf Shine tire brush. Then buy some wheel woolies if you want to clean your barrels without taking off the wheels.

>Soap

I suggest Chemical Guys, Meguiar's, or CarPro for your soap.

>I do a pre-soak with a hose powered foamer...do I need a special soap for this step?

A high foaming soap will be best for this. Most Chemical Guys soap works pretty well. I would suggest not getting a hose powered foam gun. Unless you're going off roading its not worth it. It's best to save up for a power washer and a foam lance.

> Plenty of microfiber towels

Make sure to buy some crappy towels for your dirty jobs like drying wheels, cleaning the undercarriage, and the carpets. I suggest zwipe microfiber towels for the cheap ones, and the rag companies eagle edgeless towels for your nice pair.

> Interior spray (I like the Meguiars Natural Finish, this okay?)

I have not had experience with that one yet. I have tried the Meguiars quik interior detailer before and it makes the plastics look stock. It doesn't do much cleaning, more of a finishing step. If you want to clean the interior I suggest getting Optimum Power Clean (diluted 1:10) or Chemical Guys NonSENSE (diluted 1:10).

> Waffle Towels (Oddles of them!)

Once your car is waxed you'll only need 2 large towels to dry your car. I really like the Chemical Guys waffle towels because they have good value for the money. Cobra towels are way better but way more expensive. I've heard the rag company has good ones too.

> See if I can get my hands on a leaf blower with a filter on it.

I bought a troy bilt leaf blower for $40 at home depot and it works pretty well.

I think you're forgetting 3 things.

Clay - the meguiar's clay kit you can buy over the counter is pretty good. Otherwise get a clay alternative like nanoskin autoscrub. If you get the alternative I suggest getting Optimum No Rinse and diluting it 1:8 for a lubricant.
Wax - I suggest getting a was with fillers in it so it hides some small scratches. Meguiars NXT liquid wax and Collinite #845 are both really good.
APC - an all purpose cleaner can be diluted to fulfill multiple purposes. Meguiars D101, Optimum Power Clean, and Chemical Guys NonSENSE are my favorite APC's at the moment. Each can be diluted to do different tasks. 1:10 for interior, 1:4 for NASTY interiors/carpets, 1:1 or undiluted for tires and trim.

Suggested soap for fender / wheel well?

I have Superclean diluted 1:3 for my tires but I read that it's pretty harsh and might turn black plastic white. I need a somewhat aggressive but mild soap dedicated just for my wheel wells. The soap will be used in conjunction with a Mothers Fender Well Brush

I use ONR for my paint fwiw so this soap will just be for the wells.

u/Blubaru23 · 1 pointr/WRX

Probably any longer handled, stiffer bristle brush.

Removing Brake Dust from Alloy Rims

This past weekend I washed my car and inspected it in order to prep it for my first detail. During my wash/inspection I noticed the front wheel wells have some discoloration which I attributed to brake dust. I attempted to clean them with a brush and Meguiar's Hot Rims Aluminum Wheel Cleaner which didn't fully remove all the brake dust due to not being able to scrub the wheel wells properly. I purchased this Mother's Brush in the hopes that this weekend I'll be able to remove them.

Question: What material are these "alloy" rims made of and what cleaner should I use for it?

Example 1 Example 2

Also, I dressed my tires with Meguiar's Hot Shine High Gloss Tire Spray and was curious as to what the community thinks of this spray.

Thanks
