A little patriotism, and clean rims :)

[Bwana]

Hello again fellow Autopians.



In today`s episode of "Budget Detail": Cleaning Rims/Tires, and taking more reflective pictures of previous episode`s work.



Anywho...I used 409 Orange Cleaner to get the heavy brake dust and caked on junk off the rims and tires. Then did a good old elbow grease buffing on them.



For the tires, I used Meg`s tire stuff (forgot the name, and im too lazy to go downstairs and look) It`s a purple gel type stuff...:nixweiss



p.s. I know i still have to do the wheel wells, but i only had about an hour and a half to work with here...

The wheel looks great :xyxthumbs but I am not keen on very high gloss rubber. Nice pics of the reflection of the flag :up
