Rainy day clean

Spent the day cleaning the wheels inside and out, the wheel wells and installing new AMG caps.

Tried to get some before and after. It was absolutely filthy! Now you could almost eat off of them…

I just used gojo degreaser hand wipes on everything except the old wheel weight adhesives. They had to have a shot of solvent spray then wipes. The wipe have enough cleaner to do the job without overspray on parts that need grease.
