    To get it perfect it might need 3 coats maybe 4. To clean it off I wipe the first batch of gunk with paper towels so it's 80% clean. This stuff is water base, so I take a bucket of warm water with a sponge and/or wash cloth and I use an old toothbrush for the nooks and crannies.

          ^^^^^^ thanks man. i need to get on the wagon and finish them up. but its a fun project. i used dupli color metallic for the insides and dupli color or trim paint for the wheels, the reason y i used that kind of paint is cuz i didnt want a flat blk look, and i didnt want a SHINY ass blk look. so the trim is even!

              today i got some turtle wax chrome polish, would that be a good alternative to the mother's mag and aluminum cleaner ?
              plus im gonna use these to polish up my exhaust tips as well, and possibly trim.
              shouldnt do any harm right ?

                  yes, it would work. it is a slightly different grain, but i cant remember if it is more or less aggressive than mothers.

                      steel wool

                      Would using steel wool carefully help to get the really tough spots out? I got a few bad pots I want to get out and I'm not sure if polish will do it.

                        light steel wool then a fine scotch bright pad, then 1000 grit sandpaper, then 1500-2000 grit, then polish, polish, polish.

                          plastic polish is a good alternative. it works on the wheels because the clear coat is a plasticized urethane. later.

                              okay so i just got some new wheels, RO_JA formula 7s, and what is it that you need to do to keep them in tip top shape? They're painted gunmetal with a clearcoat. Do i just wash them with dish detergent and water? or can i use that eagle 1 A2Z stuff? and as for waxing them...what's a good product to keep that shine and to protect it from the elements?

                                Why not go out and buy a dedicated wheel cleaner and wheel wax/sealant?
