To begin we foamed and washed the vehicle with Chemical Guys Citrus Wash n Gloss:

After the wash, we placed the vehicle on a lift to remove the wheels and perform a proper clean:

Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armor was used to coat the wheels:

We also used C5 on the brake rotor's hub as they will prevent the surface from oxidizing:
