Re: wheel tragedy
Glad to hear you fixed the problem. I was going to recommend Flitz creme polish.I work at a ambulance mamufacturer and we have found this to be the best for aluminun it works great with little effort

![]() That would have been too funny! My old beater work truck didn't have a show quality paintjob; it was lucky if it got pressure-washed once in a blue moon!

Re: wheel tragedy
The wheels on my '96 are polished and were neglected for several years while the truck was in the USAF. I bought a Power Ball and the Mini version, along with some Mother's polishes. It was a lot of work at the git-go, but if you stay with the cleaning/polishing, it will get easier.
There's a new style of polishing ball on the market. I don't remember who makes it, but I'm looking for one.

Re: wheel tragedy
I hope all of you that mentioned the truck stop parking lot polishers... I found the recipe awhile back here. Pretty interesting, I haven't tried making any yet, but I'm going to! Still trying to figure out how to convince neighbors I do not have a meth lab with the smells I imagine this will make.
#2 Unfortunately, in the day and age we live in today, you cant help but doubt that when someone leaves a car wash and comes back later with any damage problems that it could be a scam. We know you are an upfront guy, but someone who doesn't know the person... well. Last edited by diggertodd; 04-07-2009 at 08:08 PM. Reason: typo |
