So you followed my advice about the powerball.  

  Nice! There's room for improvement though ;)    

  When you're done, maybe think about applying a coat of wax.    

     

 


 

 I would still be outside finishing the wheels and washing the entire thing if it wasn't 30 degrees, snowing, and I could feel my fingers.  

 BTW notice how the powerball is black from all the shit on the wheels.


It looked cold, that's why I said there's room for improvement :P  

I cleaned the impala yesterday in 36* weather. Inside and out. I was ffffucking cold after but it was worth it.

 
BTW, The black is just oxidation. It should wash out of the powerball pretty easily.  

The wheels are raw aluminum, and to prevent them from oxidizing over time, it's good to polish them every 1-3 months.  

If you use wheel cleaner with these after you polish them, be careful and make sure that you use stuff that will *NOT* stain aluminum.. also, some tire cleaners can drip down onto and stain the wheels - you'll want to avoid wesley's bleche white at all costs if you clean your letters and sidewalls.

Do you clean the sidewalls?


I clean the sidewalls with steel wool or scotchbrite pads.

I wish I had a floor jack and could take the wheels off right now.  Gotta get those center caps off, pretty sure that's how you get em off.

Shit! Eagle Alloy doesn't make caps for this model rim anymore.  The things are trashed.

Edit:The replacements look shitty, nothing like the ones I have now.

Nigga's post was deleted. Biatch was smacked down.

I really need to go looking for a place that sells Back To Black.  Only place I've seen is Summitracing.com
