Anybody know if the EZ Wheel Brush fits between the front R56 JCW disk brakes and the 17" Challenge wheels? I know the clearance is pretty tight.

It's rather tight in the front - I figure people have to move the car a few inches to do a thorough cleaning:

it will work well but you would have to move the car to get under the brakes.

not many brushes will fit in there.

Great finish job

Phil- you did a great job on bringing the scratches out of the paint. Did you do any wet sanding.

no wet sanding needed just the products above and a ton of time.
