New Wheels On !!!

[Dieselman]

Is it really that good.?
I use turtleway SuperGloss sealer then normal wax. I'm not religious about doing it and the cars are used, but the wheels came clean unless really neglected for a long while.

Which reminds me...

DM you dont have polished wheels... its not so important for the painted parts although it does mean the brake dust is much easier to get off.

My SEC wheels get marked just by looking at a puddle.

 

[Dieselman]

I don't think Howard has polished wheels either, they are lacquered on the lips, like my others.

Aah but Jay you take pride in cleaning them for several hours and then seeing your own handy work

 

[jaymanek]

oh sorry.. thought he had gone for polished... still its easy applied and keeps the brake dust from melting into the paint..

 

[Howard]

No , the centres are painted , just the lips are diamond cut.

So what's the best thing to remove brake dust that's stubbornly stuck? I don't want to use the wheel cleaners with acid in them.

Are they not lacquered over the cut.? They look like they are.

Nice job !! They, and the entire car look really good and IMHO beat gold / colour key hands down......

 

[NW_Merc]

Hmmm, I don't think they'll look good colour coded. Keep them as they are Howard IMO

 

[IanA2]

Nice....

 

[tudu]

Very nice, they look great

Second that think they look fantastic - good job and well done.

 

[lomo]

They look really good and well suited to the car

 

[Howard]

I was thinking of the centres being colour coded , with diamond cut lips , not the whole wheel painted ( which would look terrible ) ...

Agreed just paint the centres and leave the lip clean.
