It needed it bad...only got to do the front wheels REALLY well because of time..lol
Scrubbed the wheels inside and out, the wheel wells, then used tire shine on it all
First pic..one clean wheel, one dirty one
Second, the backs of the wheels, one clean on dirty
Dirty wheel well
Clean well
Above: Two clean wheels
Above: backs of both wheels cleaned up
She used to be dirty..
Ready to buck!

My car NEVER sees gravel, ever. I won't drive it on that crap anymore lol.
I havent even had to use the wipers in over two months, nor has it seen an actual water wash in a few months, california duster only....got the instant detailer today...
I used Tire shine in the wheel wells...it holds up pretty good..
Spare time? Yup, im single.

Probably not worth painting calipers unless you're running ceramic pads. That'* when I did mine. They stay the proper color that way.
Lookin' good Matt! One of these days try some rubber undercoating in the wheelwells. It freshens 'em up very nice.
