:grinno: Ok so spring is in full swing here in sunny ATL, so it was time to get to the car for the first time since ,i dont how long. I've been itching to get this done but just haven't had the time or weather. I spent 4 hours today on the wheels alone. I will hit up the rest of the car on Thursday so stay tuned, but for now, here are the wheels. Nice improvement I'd say. I know, don't worry about the wheel wells ill get those on Thursday.

Process:

Long Haul on tires

A2Z on wheels

Green Mini excel pad with a drill, elbow grease, and mothers mag/aluminum polish.

Orange Mini excel pad "same process"

Oh! This is what it did to those two pads...

I think they look a lot better for the condition that they are in.

I finished them off with a VM/EXP combo which I will repeat on Thursday to seal them again.

Any comments/suggestions always welcome!
 
Nice turnaround, looks a lot better!



For the future, you might consider getting a mother's powerball to polish, especially if you're already using a drill so that you don't trash all your small pads.
 
ya, I needed new pads anyway but i want to get one of those for this summer when i need to do it on my other cars. I hear it works well.
 
That is awesome work! If you ever get around to the powerball, some feedback on how that vs. the pads work would be great.



And, if you could do a little something with those drums, it would be perfect
 
ill have to figure out what to do about the drums. i was thinking of just painting them a high temp black and clear coating them. Any other ideas?

Thanks scottwax, any compliment from you means I did something right!
