I know......Kinda useless....
But I was impressed with the mothers aluminum/mag polish, power metal buff compound and their "power ball". For a super quick cleanup(wheels/tires go on tomorrow) this stuff did me good!

A little Glyptal in the cutouts and we have wheels/tires that look better AND cost more than I paid for the car!!!:D :D

Did you use the big one or the mini ball?

Thanks!

I used the large ball but it seems to be shrinking as I go along.....:D

I found that if I do the mag/alum polish by hand first then the ball with power metal they come out even better!

WILL have pics tomorrow....

I've been tempted to buy one of those Mother's Power Balls. They seem to make wheel polishing so easy. Besides, my Bogarts are still water stained from SDAC-15. :lol:

BIRDDOG nice to see a TDer pay attention to the wheels, i can think of several TDer's around here that could use your ambition (i hate grungy wheels on a nice car).

Thanks! I didn't realize those things were that cheap. It must have been the whole kit I saw for around $20.

I believe the clear was stripped a LOOOONG time ago. I may shoot em with a tinted clear later but for now I just want em on the car! Getting tired of filling the tires every morning....

Saw that at autozone for $20 or 25. I may get that mini ball now too for the heck of it....

Bogarts will come next year, With the DRs on these they weigh 44lbs each:wow1:

Thanks, they kinda take the eye away from the rust/ dents.....:o
All that's left is the susp bushings and it goes in for paint/cage! :D :D :D

Always did, 6 pizza wheels but I needed these before I could swap em back on.
**But I am in discussion with a member right now on that one!
