That didn't last. The fresh polished look just doesn't last. It can't hold a candle to Mothers Billet polish and some hard work. (You can't use metal polish with Zoop Seal, only soap and water).

That's a pretty easy wheel to clean though. Very open with thin smooth spokes. If you have access to air, hit Snap On tools up for their Bluepoint polisher/kit. It works amazing with a buffing pad...
thanks for clearing that up, i had heard nothing but good things about it but its good to hear some first hand info.

Yea i use to take my SP500's of my C5 everytime i washed them. I got pretty quick at it actually. I wanna see a pic of those tires on that car, and just the rim. I am in the same boat, I cannot decide what tires to get with them. I am going with 18's as well, i wanted to go 275/35/18 in the front and 315/30/18 in the back. My old 305/35/18 in Nitto DR on my HRE's I use to have looked like a damn ballon. Trying to keep from getting that look again lol
