What are those containers you are using to spray the cleaners? They called something like Wolfgang Chemical Resistant Pressure Sprayer?

Nice job! Gotta love those "washed it with a rock" swirls/holograms the dealer left in the paint...

Nice job Phil! I got this exact same car (Prius- same color and condition) coming in next week, just did an eval on it yesterday. Also received the Sonax wheel cleaner yesterday. I got a chance to play with this stuff at a customers house in Florida recently and thought pretty highly of it. Seems less toxic than the Wheel Brightener I've been using.
