"As we are detailing a car here at the Firehouse car wash, I'm training you how to do it today. One of the special tips and tricks we like to do is actually dress the wheel wells. It's visible particularly on trucks like this, so we want every part that I can see to look it's best, look like it's new. Well I'm going to go back to our solvent based dressing here. I like to apply it, I've seen it sprayed inside again. The problem is if you get back a little too far you get over spray on the outside of the vehicles so stick with what we talked about in other segments. Keep it on a brush, gives you a lot more control. Use less product that way and when you are moving through a lot of cars, cost savings are important, you want to use the right product. So you just simply take the brush and cover all the plastic trim and area that we've already cleaned. I'll go right through here. This product is not dangerous to metal, it's not dangerous to anything under there so we can basically just hit anything in here that we want to make it pop out, shine and make it look great. Now I've got this under, this wheel well and undercarriage in a show room like condition. Looks great and it's going to be easier to clean. It actually, actually does some protection as well. Keeps things clean and a little silicone, nothing sticks to it right so the dirt falls off a little easier and it's a little easier to keep clean in the future."
