No I used Orange blast and a Pressure washer, But I do that everyweek, so it pretty much always looks like that. I used to spray wheel shine on the black hoses and stuff, but too much dirt stuck to it.

The debadging wasn't too bad. I used Goo-Gone and a little laquer thinner for the glue , then I wet sanded the whole thing w/2000 grit sand paper and did a 3 stage buff/polish on it. Using Auto Magic. only took about 2-2 1/2 hrs to do. Not that bad actually.
