its hard to keep up with alu wheels. chrome are easier to clean but they don't last long and start peeling.

It took months to get it all done like this. It looks just like the day I did it 7 months ago. It's NEVER driven in rain and sits in the garage. Weird, it hasn't oxidized one bit in 7 months.

here's a crapy pic but i just finished cleaning up the car but it's shining. looks like an offroad machine but the cars been sitting on jackstands for months so the suspension has to settle down.
