Default Polished my CCW's.

I did these by hand and they were kinda bad. I used Dupont sontana polishing towels, you can get them from any paint store for $6. Those towels mixed with the mother billet polish and some wheel acid = some great results. My friend who owned these before me had been driving on them for the last month in the salt, rain and snow. You get the idea.

What is the wheel acid you mentioned. I just polished my drag pack last week and want to do the Classics next. If it will make polishing them easier I will give it a try.

Yeah, make it a second request for the wheel acid stuff.

I've got a real problem with my Saab 9-3's wheels. They are typical clear coated paited wheels but the rear brake pads are horrible and eating through the paint and clear coat after less than 15,000 miles. I clean them at least once a week but I think it's too late.

Good job. I will always miss the black tt2's with black hockey stripes. That setup looked damn good.

Is that the Triple Seven All Purpose Cleaner? From their site they seem to have a couple of different ones. I really need to clean my billet.
