Sorry never had the Pleasure. That one of the Reasons that I have gray wheels. With 1yr and 5yr I luck if can have enough time to change oil in my truck and that is hard to do.

This is true, it would take me a good 6 hours to do them right, getting in every groove.. Than]ts why I will NEVER OWN a set of aluminum wheels again..




Good find man, the key is to finding a good product, having the time to do it. I also just loved having sore fingers the next day. I always found that outshine, or long haul worked best for me..

Looks good

I really like aluminum better than chrome, with simple wheels it would be pretty easy but these Welds have 1000 nooks and crannys

That should be fun, yours are a little bigger...should be lots of fun, just keep them up and do a light polish here and there, I have gone all out on mine 2 times so far in like 8 months, but thats my fault for using wheel cleaners
