I can also appreciate the OCD cleaning. I started a couple weeks ago on mine too
I will be doing this when I get my car back this week, have been meaning to attack it for ages. Would you mind sharing technique and products used? I have a large wheel well brush but not sure which cleaning agent to use. Was thinking non-acid wheel cleaner for the brake calipers and hub and ordinary de-greaser + high pressure cleaner for everything else?

Great job BTW
always use the least agressive product possible first. Start out with good old soap and water. then move up to something like simple green or a natural citrus based cleaner / degreaser. I would avoid the heavy degreasers unless absolutely necessary. I did have to use bug / tar remover on some of the stubborn rubber you still see remaining in that picture of mine...that picture was just after the first couple of passes.
I've got 304 brushes that I use down there depending on how tight the areas can get.
I wish I had the patience to do a full concours level detail. I barely take the time to wash the car! In fact, you can probably look at it once I'm done and see where I started and finished....I take my time when I start, and lose interest about halfway through. To be honest, I can't remember the last time it got washed...and why bother? We drive it just about every day and with all the rain we keep having lately, it would be dirty as soon as I finished. Besides...it too cold to wash it. So it stays dirty.
Trust me, I LOVE it when it's completely clean...I just don't want to do it.
