Cleaned both the front side and the back side with the Uber Boar's Hair Wheel Brush, The Uber Spoke Brush, and the Swissvax Wheel Brush, each one helped with the process of cleaning all that brake dust and dirt off the wheels.
After I applied Swissvax Autobahn on them.

Results from all that hard work on the wheels.
Now that the wheels were done...on to the wheel wells.
P21S Total Auto Wash was used to cut the dirt and grime off the wheel wells as well as the suspension bits, and brake calipers.
Brushes were used to help clean up the wheel wells etc

After everything was rinsed and cleaned up, I moved on to polishing the brake calipers with Menzerna PO85RD after I put a nice coat of Swissvax Autobahn on them to give them a nice shine and protection.
Caliper After Polish and before Autobahn
Applying the SV Autobahn
Removing the SV Autobahn
Adam's Undercarriage Spray was applied to bring back a nice new look to the wheel well covers (note I did wipe down any access to prevent a oily greasy look, I was going for a matte finish)

Front Before
Front After
After of the wheel back on the car (less the tire dressing)
Of course the wheels were done again but much easier this time around.
