Just thought I'd do a little detailing in my wheel wells this winter. What do you all think?





Now it's Miller time!

Not too shabby. I've got that planned but I'm a bit lazy because of the cold weather. Since it's getting warmer I'm gonna start a who new round of "projects."

Nice job.

Looks great

I hope you cleared your rotors. That way the only part that will tarnish/rust will be were the brake pad contacts the rotor.

wow!!! that looks amazing! How did you clean the suspension? Take it all apart and clean it or just spray something on and wipe it down? Looks good!

Looks good, all that dirt was covering the drilled & slotted rotors and the red calipers! lol Did ya wax the paint? It makes it easier to clean later.

You used eastwood black on the plastic part of the well? Looks good.

Thanks guys. I set out to do a brake job and clean things up some but once I got going and saw how good it was looking, I just kept going. I didn't take anything apart except for the brakes. I used a wire wheel on my bench grinder to clean the calipers and pad brackets. Everything else got lots of orange blast degreaser and a lot of scrubbing.

Got any ideas for the rear fender well. That crap they spray in there from the factory is a biatch to clean and it's cracking too.

did you spray the plastic with chassis black or use a brush to apply it.
