What to do in between washes?

Ya the rims I have are a 5 lug. They have the uni lug on them. Meaning that they have 10 holes for two different bolt sizes. My old car had a 100 spacing on them and i know they fit on a 115 spacing as well. I will look into this more this weekend when I go home from College. Ill be sure to get some pics as well.



Thanks

Justin
 
My rims are a set of Chrome ASA rims. They are a 9 spoke rim. They have a uni lug sort of size to them. Which just means that they are a size 5 by 100 and also a size 5 by 115. They are in an awesome condition. They have Pilot HC tires by bf goodrich on them. Really need to sell these. I was asking 800 but sure would love to make a deal with someone??? Let me know. They are 16 INCH

I have a set of 4 chrome 16inch rims and tires. I paid about $1100 dollars for the rims and just under $200 dollars a piece for the tires. I am getting a new car in the spring here in a couple weeks so I really need to sell them. They are 9 spoke. Really cool looking, they put off a ton of shine. They have never seen snow, and I have only had them for a year now. I am asking $800 dollars but will make a deal. This is an awesome opputunity. Let me know if you know someone interested.:cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:
 
a pic would be nice. Can you get a picture of them or find a link to what they look like?



edit: I merged the new thread with the old one because there wasn't much point in having two threads for the same thing. ;)
 
I have searched but haven't seen anything definitive on here as to what I should do between washes.

Right now, both my vehicles are clean, clayed, megged about 80%, and Blackfired. They look great! But I live by a busy street (dust etc.) and can't garage them at the moment. Today it sprinkled a bit. I don't have time to wash them, what should I do so as not to impart new scratches?

I have OCW, but not ONR.
I have Megs Final inspection Spray(34?), Blackfire spray, and megs quick detailer. lots of PAC MFs.
Oh yeah, and the California Duster!

What do you guys and detailchicks do?
 
I would just let them get dirty until you wash them again. That might be a better alternative than scratching.

You can use a quick detailer on them if they aren't too dirty, but I always wonder about those... how dirty is too dirty before you start scratching the heck out of the paint.
 
ONR would the way to go if you got the time and how much dirt or dust get's on them is a factor also.
 
I would invest in some ONR as well. Using a QD on a dirty car, is asking for trouble. An ONR wash is very quick and easy and does a great job.

Im not sure why detailer would scratch when a sponge with water wouldent. I mean at some point the car is too dirty for water to wash it off, there is going to need to be friction applied to get it clean.

But to answer the OPs question, what I do on my Vette, is after each drive ( every 2-3 weeks during spring/summer/fall ), I evaluate the paint. If its just dusty, I spray it down with quick detailer, except the nose which I apply some water with a MF cloth to loosen bugs first. If there are areas where its pretty dirty, like if I drove through some muddy puddles, or I got a bunch of brake dust on the car, I spray on some Griots waterless car wash, let it sit for a minute, then wipe off and follow with detailier. The wheels are usually decent because I use that armour all stuff, but I frequently use some detailer and paper towels to clean the wheel wells, that get super brake-dusty. Then I clean the windows and put the cover back on.
 
Thank you gentlemen. That vette is very well taken care of! I have an 09 Wrangler that I take out in the dirt on purpose! That always needs a full wash, of course. But for regular in-betweens I'll be getting some ONR and OOC very shortly. I did some more searching on these and Barry you've written some informative posts that will help me a lot. Thanks to all.
