Pages: 1 2  Next -- Posted by ss454 at 1:19 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 I thought these things were toast.  They're still shitty, covered in little pits and shit, but you can only polish a turd so much. Mother's Powerball w/ their Mag & Aluminum polish got these bitches shining.  Anyhoo, here are some pictures. BEFORE: AFTER: I know I did a pretty shitty job, but it's 30 degrees outside and by the time I was done with this wheel, I couldn't feel my fingers or toes. Here's a few last pictures, just to show off. Rear wheel polished.  Front not. Hotness.  Had to start snowing when I was taking pictures. The other 2 wheels I polished. -- Posted by HuffleHaire at 1:20 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Congrats! That looks like hella hard work! -- Posted by iceman89 at 1:21 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 It seems like freezin in your place -- Posted by IMPALA at 1:21 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 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. -- Posted by Nephthys6 at 1:21 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Looks good. -- Posted by 007bondgirl08 at 1:22 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 seems like you like your car? -- Posted by LipsOfDeceit at 1:23 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 sexyy:) -- Posted by ss454 at 1:24 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from IMPALA at 4:21 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 So you followed my advice about the powerball.

BTW notice how the powerball is black from all the shit on the wheels. -- Posted by ss454 at 1:24 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from 007bondgirl08 at 4:22 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 seems like you like your car?

Try this stuff. -- Posted by IMPALA at 1:25 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from 007bondgirl08 at 1:22 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 seems like you like your car?

Yep, I know all about this stuff. They just didn't have it at the store I bought the ball at. My autobody instructor told me the shit wears off after a week or two. -- Posted by IMPALA at 1:27 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from ss454 at 1:24 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from IMPALA at 4:21 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 So you followed my advice about the powerball.    Nice!

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? -- Posted by IMPALA at 1:30 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from ss454 at 1:26 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from IMPALA at 4:25 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 If you want a product that can make the black hazy plastic fender  trim and other plastic trim on the outside look better..    Try this stuff.     Yep, I know all about this stuff. They just didn't have it at the store I bought the ball at. My autobody instructor told me the shit wears off after a week or two. It does.. but it doesn't take much to go a looong way. I apply it once a month with the impala to keep the trim nice and dark. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-forum/10833-back-black-vs-forever-black.html There is some stuff I haven't used yet but I've heard great response about it..it's called "forever black" http://www.autogeek.net/foblbutrcoqu.html Here is their website. http://www.forevercarcareproducts.com/ -- Posted by IMPALA at 1:30 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 I'm gonna go take a few shots of the shitpala with a broke ass hood now.   Thanks for the temptation.   -- Posted by IMPALA at 1:45 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 ffffff. camera batteries are deader than a nigger stealing bicycles at the general store. -- Posted by ss454 at 6:01 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from IMPALA at 4:27 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from ss454 at 1:24 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Quote: from IMPALA at 4:21 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 So you followed my advice about the powerball.     Nice!

I clean the sidewalls with steel wool or scotchbrite pads. -- Posted by ss454 at 6:09 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 I'm surprised nobody said shit about the license plate -- Posted by IMPALA at 6:12 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 your license plate is showing. omg. -- Posted by ss454 at 6:20 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 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. -- Posted by ss454 at 7:20 am on Nov. 21, 2008 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. -- Posted by dreamweaver at 7:21 am on Nov. 21, 2008 Impressive.
