There is no way I could leave water on the truck then start washing the wheels. Then 3min to 6min without washing the soap off? I'd have soap drying to the paint at that point.

    In that case, I'd wash and dry a section at a time.

    I'm fortunate to have good weather here in FL.
    If it's miserable out I can bring it in the A/C and do all the work.

    This truck is what got me into all this detailing. Black is not a color it's a career.

    You can say that a again!

    The G21 with a 5" backing plate and 5" microfiber discs with D300 should do the trick with swirls. What pads do you have for the D302?

    Two (2) each of the Maguiars 5" mf cutting for the D300, and 5" mf finishing discs for the

    Decon: Did you get IronX and a foam wax pad for chemical decon followed by mechanical removal (clay bar, clay alternative and ONR)?

    Yes, ordered the IronX, and will follow w/ Ultimate cleaning gel & the Polyshave Decon block.

    For the wheels I have had good results with P21S Total Auto Wash or a good APC. My favorite is Dry Steam but that's another story...

    Planned on IronX for the wheels too.
