3. Scrub your tires with Blast Citrus Pre Wash and Tire Brush

4. Clean the barrel of your wheel with the Soft Wheel Brush
Use the Soft Wheel Brush to clean the barrel of your wheel and reach all the way to the back. You can bend the brush to get to the harder to reach areas. Cheap wheel brushes use plastic which will scratch your wheels, this one is soft so you can safely clean your wheels without worrying about damaging them.
Dip your Soft Wheel Brush in a bucket with water and spray Breakup Wheel Cleaner on your brush (do the same with your Wheelmitt and Boar Detail Brush), when Breakup Wheel Cleaner comes into contact with water it will start foaming when scrubbing, this will make the cleaning process easier.

You use your Boar Detail Brush to clean the lug nuts (the "holes" for the bolts) and the hard to reach areas, like the corners, the hairs on this detail brush are a bit stiffer, this will help you to clean and scrub stubborn dirt, while still soft enough for a safe clean without damaging your wheels.
7. Rinse and check if tires are clean
Rinse tires and wheels. Clean a small part of your tires again, if the foam turns brown they aren’t clean yet, and you have to scrub them again with Blast Citrus Pre Wash and your Tire Brush, if the foam is white, they are clean and you can proceed to the next step.

Step 4: Dry, Shine & Protect
Effortlessly dry your entire car with just one Pulloff Drying Towel and without leaving streaks.
Use one Pulloff Drying Towel to dry your entire car without leaving big streaks. When using traditional microfiber towels you need to use multiple towels to dry the car since they get saturated very quickly.
We use a different technology to produce the Pulloff Drying Towel, when you look closely there are tons of small loops on the towel, they consist of multiple fibres that are joined together and then twisted, because of this process it can absorb more water.
You can dry your entire car with just one towel, without big streaks or wringing it out. Will just leave some really small streaks in the end after drying your entire car, these aren’t really noticeable.
You don’t need a layer of protection/coating for it to work, it will just make it smoother, faster and easier.
