Your car looks great. I really wish Twighlight Blue was available in 06. It is the BEST color on the G... with OB in close second.

I saw a TB last night and thought, "Cool black G"..... then a passing car's headlights hit it...was pretty bad azz.

I have seen my fair share of this. Always make me sad to see. That shop did a great job fixing them. They look brand new.

Ive been using the stuff in the link below on the barrels of my polished CCW Classics. They are high polished bare aluminum with no coating. This stuff will prevent waterspots.

http://www.sharkhide.com/mpinfo.html

This is what they look like after polishing them.

I then had the centers brushed for a different look at make keeping them clean easier. This is like 6 months later later barrels still look the same and my car is never garaged.

Thanks! Funny story, when I was shopping around for my G, I was looking at OB only. This guy had posted a black and white picture on autotrader and I thought it was OB. Went to look at it, turned out it was twilight blue not OB. It was love at first sight haha, and I ended up buying it.

As long as polished wheels are maintained, not having a clear isn't a huge issue. Polishing compound brings out the shine pretty easily.
