    I love this writeup. The wheels off details are my favorite. Brings out the hidden beauty in each corner. Brings order to chaos.

    I wouldn't touch the rotors. That residue as Phil said generally deposits when water sits on them. The rust on the hub, that's a different story. I remember reading someone's recommendation on what to do but can't recall. However, I remember Bob mentioned a way to avoid getting that hub rust build up. He recommended just driving the car a few feet so water doesn't collect.

    LMs always look great. But I have to strongly disagree with your other statement. ADV1 makes some of the classiest yet most original wheel designs in the industry. A lot of other brands make cars look ghetto fab.

    Did you do the 3inch leather brush technique or just chemicals via Sonax/1z?

    Forgive me for asking what might be a foolish question, but after you spray the suds on the car do you let it drip off on its own time? or do you let it sit in for a few minutes and rinse off the car.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this,

    Eric.

    Eric,

    Sure thing we usually let it sit on the paint to carry off as much dirty and grime off, then rinse, then foam, then wash it with a mitt then rinse again.
