0 Kenneth Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 When I pick these up I plan to wash with car soap and then inspect closely for any scratches or anything that needs to be touched up. They are used and were in a truck for a month. Then I plan to use quick sealant on them while they are off of the truck and do two coats with several hours in between. My next order I'm going to pick up some brilliant glaze to put on them over the sealant. I have some buttery that I can throw over the QS and the BG.

0 Chris@Adams Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Post pics up! Did you ever consider black wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kenneth Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 I did consider going all black but it seems that everywhere you turn people are doing it. I also did not want a black wheel with a polished lip. I kinda like the old school look of street trucks with everything blacked out except for billet grills and wheels.

0 Chris@Adams Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I think that black wheels would look good on my silver sport. Sent from my LS670 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Pureshine Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 If you don't take care of chrome wheels once the chrome starts to corrode you can't fix it. I get customers cars all the time with chrome rims that weren't taken care of. Once the chrome is compromised there is no fixing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Kenneth Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 I picked them up today. They are pretty grungy but its mostly just dust. Ill post picks after I clean them up and get them sealed. I also just found out that these wheels are hard toget as there were only 4 in the country as of last week and they were sold. So no one can get them. I don't think they are all that special I just liked the way they looked. I was already given an offer of triple what I paid lmao.

0 Kenneth Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 So I'm a little confused. What's exactly am I supposed to use to get these wheels back to perfect shape before I seal them? They aren't bad at all but I want to get all the luster I can from them while I have them off of the truck. I was also gonna get some 0000 steel wool and do the barrels. I was going to use dawn dish soap together the grease off of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kenneth Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Well here are the wheels as they were out of the box. after a wash, clay, polish with revive, and sealed with QS. Here is a quick pic of a dirty truck with them installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Kenneth Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 I spent about 6 hours on cleaning them up. You wouldnt believe how much I pulled off while claying. It sounded horrible at first but now they are SLICK. Well also a testament to the QS. The tire shop could not get any weights to stick to the wheels. I had to wipe the areas down with APC to get them to stick. LOL they were amazed at how slick they were to the touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
