The one good thing about polished wheels is the same one bad thing about polished wheels. You can always polish them back to a perfect shine and you always need to polish them back to a perfect shine but I'm sure Vin can tell you all about that. You want to see a really scary picture then take some close up's of my black paint. Enough to make you sick.......

 

Yes lets not even gett into what it takes to clean those freakin rims...Its on my top 10 for most hated things to do. The end result however..shiny lips is a priceless look and feeling. Too bad it only lasts for like an hour of driving and then its covered w/ f*ckin brake dust again. I m so enjoying my stock 19's right now these very reasons. I haven't even looked at my rims since I took them off..However I know when it gets warm again I m gonna be feening to throw them on. Oh and Nick remember you warning me about the water gettin stuck in the inner lip. Well that really SUCKS!!! It can really just ruin your entire carwash.. Still I do luv my rims and can't wait to put them back on. Thanks again Nick.

 

Vin If you haven't done so yet in the spring look into the EBC green stuff brake pads. Night and day difference with the amount of dust you have to deal with and an easy install. And I used to place small towels in each rim to soak up the water while I did other parts of the car, that seemed to help.

 

Vin - Pick up a leaf blower or you can use the blower on a wet/dry vac to blow the water off the wheels! That's what I do with mine and it works like a charm! $50 for a leaf blower from Home CRAPPO and I dry the entire car without touching it! When it rains, my wheels grow shrubbery in the swampland created by the puddles in my wheels! Although I can't stand how the G looks now with the stockers on, cleaning has been way easier!

And DEF get some low dust pads! I have heard alot of great things on the EBC's but I went with Project Mu and love them! MUCH LESS DUST and what little there is, is silver in color not dirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrty brown!

 

Exaactly, hell you can even use the wet dry to suck the water out.....

 

Long time, no post. I'm slow at work and working on a new business. I check the board once a week. I'm fine and how are you doing? Drew, You said I was on speed channel> OK Need a meet in Jan 2006, but it must be indoors. Any Idears.

 

How long does it take to dry the car using the leaf blower. I usually take the car to the handwash and bring it back home, zaino it and polish the wheels... So I dunno, you might have to teach me how to successfully wash your car without spending two days doing it...

Nick as for the towel soaking, thats what I do at the carwash. Everyone looks at me like I m crazy but they don't know how easily that water will just splash all over and create a nice little mess.
