Some advice for "polishing" the wheels...

You aren't actually polishing them, you are just stripping the silver paint off of them to reveal the machined aluminum surface...

1. Use the aerosol can of stripper
2. Only leave it on for two minutes at a time!!(It will probably take 2-3 trys to get it all off).
3. Just flush off with a hose, DON'T scrape it with anything...
4. And you should be done then...although you will probably want to clean the tire thoroughly, because it tends to leave a yellowish residue on them until they are cleaned.

As for care/maintenance...I just spray rim cleaner on them and spray them off with a hose...they scratch easily, so you have to be careful, don't even rub them with a sponge! Then just dry them with a chamois...

I would like to see a close up of the moulding... if that isnt asking too much...

I do love the color you have on your MKIII pre89.... I can only dream of having my baby look as good as yours one day!!!

Keep her looking good! And your not too bad looking either....:momaru:

 

[CFSapper]

lol thx for both complemnts i think:icon_conf as for the molding ill see what i can do

 

[CFSapper]

K the dirty deed is done paint is off and the rims r clean now i just need to polish pics in the morning

 

[suprahero]

Just like everyone else, I like your car alot. One of the first things I would do is get rid of that parachute that is shaped like a speaker box. There's no way that thing sounds good enough to justify all the extra weight. I would remove it today. If you have to have some subs, get a smaller box. Just my two cents worth. Hope to see pictures of the wheels tomorrow morning..........lol

 

[CFSapper]

haha well as soon as i get some time im going to build a costum fiberglass one but that wont be for awhile im afraid

 

[CFSapper]

Here you guys are as promised I should mention that without polishing with a motheres powerball and that they looked like that just after hoseing the paint stripper off

Looks great. Is that the original dark blue mica metallic (I freaking love this color), or is it custom? Also, you've made the decision to repaint my mouldings when I repaint my car this spring very easy. Flawless man, flawless.

 

[CFSapper]

its custom my friend and thx for the complements its not stock blue its a little lighter and a little shinyer

 

[RHDMK3]

Nice car. It looks like it's dark blue or is it black? I can't tell.. Either way, looks clean.

 

[swaq]

It's dark blue.
