    cleaning up the wheels!

    well before i headed away decided to take my wheels off and give them a thorough clean and polish as they were good before but not as i wanted them..

    still currently not on the car, however should be back on by tomorrow if i get the other 2 done!

    i'd prefer to take them all apart (as they are 3 piece) however i dont have the patience/nor time to do it all and get it done 110% .. so 95% will have to do lol


    (before washed etc)

    One of the best things I find to take most of the effort out of cleaning wheels is the Mothers Powerball mini. Bang it on a cordless drill and away you go. Very soft, no scratches even on polished wheels and works a treat

    Looking good. Wheels can make or break a clean car. It definitely pays off to spend some time on your hands and knees giving them a good tub!

    Any thoughts on changing the colour of the centres?

    If the wheels are really dirty i will use liquid claybar(turtle Ice) then use the mother's minipower ball along with some flitz on the lips and turtle black liquid nano wax for the centers.
