Nothing's wrong with the brake discs; they are just really dirty and I want to see them shiny and new again. The dirt on the discs is much more stubborn to get off; any suggestions? What's the difference between a coat of wax and a coat of detailer?

....Use some Mequiars Hot Rims (or Wheels can't remember) wheel cleaner... that will help shine up the wheels and calipers.
I have a foam gun that I bought off Amazon for somewhere around $40 that works wonders.
Good luck and please wash it more than once a month like the rest of us maniacs... I do it every weekend.

Thanks for the tips and product recommendations! Pics will come soon, I keep promising the peeps, but I've been too lazy to resize my photos so that they're not HUGE. Washing every weekend....? Bravo, bro. I don't think I can be that dedicated. Took me 2 hours to wash last weekend, and I can see myself doing it once a month in the summer months and less often in the winter.

Didn't clay as the car had been in a warehouse for all of three days off a truck. Washed with Meguiar's Gold Class. Dried and waxed with Meguiar's Gold Class Liquid Wax. Did the tires with ArmorAll, and cleaned the wheels with a soft brush and Dawn. Wasn't much brake dust to speak of.

Thank you too! I also noticed that there are a tonne of different products to choose from. I chose a soap and wax in one. How do you think it compares to using soap and wax separately? I guess it's like shampoo + conditioner in one, isn't it? LOL
