Talking Finally finished the rims. Whew.

So I finally finished these rims I've been working on forever. My work schedule has been insane, but after cleaning, prepping, sanding, filling and priming, sanding again, painting, sanding, painting again, clearing and curing... They turned out pretty freaking good..... Doing a little something special with my center caps, so they aren't on yet... But check out the results. Couldn't be happier with them. Yaaay!.

Looks good. What product did you use to get the crud off the inside of the rims?

I had to use a mix of engine degreaser purple power and aluminum brightner to get all that stuff off the rims. Just cleaning them was damn near a two-day process lol

The inside of the rims look almost white in the pics. Was the aluminum brightener acid based?

Honestly I have no clue it was just the MACS brand aluminum brightener and it was so dirty that I didn't care how it took it off. They had so much pitting and scarring that I just wanted them clean enough to prime
