    You did a great job - we all appreciate your efforts and you can be proud knowing you're the reason this guy will be driving around in a vehicle minus the stereo type.

    Which one you ask? The one where Mercedes owners all seem to think: "Cars take care of themselves."

    *shakes head.*

    Thank life for people like us who have more class than that.
    Thanks, this is actually his wife's car

      Looks fantastic man! I'm not sure if it's just a coincidence but there's a newer generation ML that's almost always parked at a nearby strip mall where I get my morning Tim Hortons (if I had to hazard a guess, I'd say it's the vehicle of a pharmacist at a drugstore a few units down...but I digress) and it has terrible brake dust on its rims too. The spokes were bad as yours but the the outer part (i.e. 'between' the spokes) are completely black - - can't even see the colour of the rim.

      The body of the car always seems to be (somewhat) clean...not sure what the deal is about the wheels. *shrug* Maybe the ML's brake pads are terrible for throwing a lot of brake dust on the rims /meh

      It still irks me...I want to do a 2-bucket in the parking lot right then and there on their wheels .

        Thanks!

        It took about an hour to do all four wheels, I was able to get inside the wheel pretty good without having to take them off the truck using a combination of Wheel Brightener, a couple different brushes, soap and water, the water was pure black afterwards.

        Its funny since the truck is already dirty again, and the wheels are getting close to where they were before, might wash it later this week if she asks me too.

            really funny to see how the front wheels were so unevenly dirty than the rear wheels..
            great transformation!
