Its been a busy 6 months!
I had the car at a show down near Culpeper in November at Brandy Station Fire Department.
At this show I ran into someone I knew from an Archery club I am a member of. Never knew he was big into cars. We got to talking, and I shared with him some of my woes when it came to my wheels.
Ever since I bought the car the wheels have been extremely oxidized. I had tried a number of wheel cleaners but nothing ever worked to clean them up. He had an idea, and as it turns out he recently moved and now lives extremely close to me.
He turned me on to Speedy All Metal Polish. With a couple drill-attached buffers it made pretty quick work of it all. Far and away better than anything I had tried previously.
At some point I will remove the wheels and get inside the barrel as well, and probably ceramic coat them. The big lesson though, is I really need to get a face shield before I do that again!
It looked like I was wearing eyeliner for a week.
The clean wheels really make the car look better. It really pops. At the Remington car show a week or two later a small boy pointed at the wheels at told his dad they were super shiny. Definitely made it worth the effort.
This doesn't nearly cover everything, more to come!
