Next you want to respray, then grab a fresh solution of car wash and a designated wheel mitt. Wash the inside and out of the wheel to neutralize the surface. Rinse and dry.
Following the cleaning is the fun part. Next I go about everything as follows.
-Polish the wheels using a paint cleaner and/or polish with an MF applicator. Be sure to cover all areas, then remove with an MF towel. Some wheels require more polishing so you should step up to something that fits the piece working on. For chrome a good metal polish will do, for painted/cleared, a good paint polish will do.
-Protect the rims with your choice paint sealant. Using a wax I've found isn't as effective. For this vehicle, I chose
Menzerna FMJ for its great looks and protection. These two steps not only aid in the look of the wheels but also help guard against future brake dust. Once your big cleaning is done, a simple swipe with your wheel mitt and car wash will bring your wheels back to new. Be sure to coat wheels with sealants every 2 months.
-I then spray down the wheel wells with Poorboy's Bold and Bright. 3-4 sprays will coat an entire wheel well. Some wheel wells have painted areas. Follow the same instructions for polishing wheels with these areas.
-Move to the tire with an Eagle One tire Swipe. Spray the Bold N Bright onto the applicator and work in a thin coat. By the time you've done each wheel, tire, and well, about 10-30 minutes should have passed. From there you should go back with with an older terry or MF towel to wipe any excess from the wheel well and then the tire swipe to insure uniform coverage on the tire.
From here, stand back and enjoy!
