washed the car at diy carwash. it was the first time i reached in through the wheels to get at the brake dust on the inside of the wheels, worked pretty well; good thing i don't have a big brake kit, there would've been much less space to squeeze my hand through, haha. wheels look properly clean, or at least better than the usual "two-tone" of black on the outside and brake dust brown just inside. used meguiar's plast-x for the headlights, which always works well (squeak*squeak) to get rid of the haze. lookin' forward to puttin' on new set of rubber that should be arriving tomorrow... =)
