Interesting...the back of the spokes is always where I have the most problem...I always figured that's because I don't use HF wheel cleaners...but it looks like the Meg's WB didn't get them either.

The biggest part of my job starts with educating my customer on my abilities to what i can fully do! i try and tell them all possiblities that can happen. Im real big on exsplaining every step to the customer. i want them to fully be confident and educated. so why did i jewel this? because i was paid to my very best! with a good sales line and honesty this customer wanted my best! And most importly they paid for it!
