    Any chance of maybe finding/going back to/posing at that original 'as found' location? . . .

    . . . make a cool shot



    Maybe dust it up, some, first?

    The hard part in recreating that shot would be finding a dark brown 2WD Nissan king cab to pose with. Might be fewer of those left than 911S's...

    I would have thought those trucks all rusted away back there. People still drive them here in Oregon, too.

    The P21S wheel cleaner is very concentrated. You could cut it in half with water and still does very well in cleaning wheels. Yes the clear anodizing is very sensitive to solvent cleaners and the wrong ones can damage the wheel finish, Stick withe the P21S for sure and nothing else.

    Agree on P21S wheel cleaner, great & safe product
    But you can do better on the car wash....my personal favorite is Optimum car wash, and their ONR (Optimum No Rinse) is the industry standard for "waterless" car wash
    Add 1oz. to 2 gallons water and you can wash entire car without a hose. No scratches, perfect for our "almost clean" cars

    Thanks Bill and ordered a gallon on Amazon. So many choices now ..... hard to trust such different technology. I will miss the hose accidentally spraying me or my wife when we drop it !!
