I have been working on the wheels all week. Please ignore the nasty Pirelli tires. They are being replaced with some BFG's in the coming months. Below is the process and products I used. This is the first time the wheels had been cleaned and waxed on the inside. I bought the truck last September with 24k and it now has 30k on it.

Products
1. Poorboys super slick suds car wash
2. Poorboys SSR1
3. Poorboys wheel sealant
4. SM motoring mf applicator, and towells
5. tire brush/sponge/0000 steel wool

Process
1. remove wheels
2. wash with brush and sponge
3. wash with 0000 steel wool on insides of wheels only to remove build up
4. polish inside and out with ssr1
5. apply wheel sealant
6. apply second coat of wheel sealant

Nice work! Great documentation!

 

Dam-um....great job, love those Lowes Buckets too!!

 

I agree but I'm more of a Home Depot bucket kind of guy myself.

 

You realize that I'm going to start calling you 'Homer' now, right?

 

time to brighten up those white walls! Those perrellis are the best looking white letters out now.

 

Thank you for the compliments. I do not planning on keeping the factory tires much longer. Other than getting the rims all cleaned up, it helped the wife to see the tires are actually in need of replacing. See kept thinking I just wanted new tires because they are bigger.

 

I'd rather be Homer than a "Lowes".

 

The Home Depot here in Joplin sucks. Customer service is essentially nonexistent. Lowe's is outstanding.

 

That's disappointing. Here our Lowes and Home Depot are both pretty good but the customer service in our Home Depot is a little bit better.
