We got our hands on Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner Pro – faster, stronger, cleaner.

Sonax Multistar on the tires
We have found using a microfiber and Sonax Multistar is great way to remove all that caked on tire dressing.
To maximize the cleaning power of your wheel cleaner make sure you hit up your wheels various brushes.

Amazing. Clearly a night and day difference. Glad to see this particular RS4 gets more than it’s fair share of use but at the same time is pampered and well cared for… Great job! A+
Nice job! You are always doing top notch work.
