Default Re: Baby's got her new wheels on!

yea baby, real cool!



but then, I'm partial to chrome A-molds myself.

I've had mine since 05 and if you start with a clean surface: I use regular car wash soap, rinse, then Klassie AIO x 2 to make sure I get all the grunge off. Next comes any good polymer ( I use chem guys jet seal ) x2 and that's it for season's get ready. Normal brake dust removal, I use carbon metallic pads, needs to be done when the wheels are cold before you go out again. I use chem guys ECO-wash as my cleaner and then hit them with chem guys Q/Detailer. I use the cheap M/F's from COSTCO for the cleaning & a good M/F for the Q/D step. Sorry for the long winded stuff. Sometimes you get some tar stuck to them and for that I use Cape Cod Towels, then wash with the QED, followed by the Q/D. I'm going to try that new stuff from Adams first chance I get as it seems like it might give more protection. The real trick is not to try to wash them when they're hot as you end up taking off all the polymer and you have to start all over again....ask me how I learned that...
