Thumbs up California Customs

Had to relay this because its never happened to me before. Most here know I push this product because I have never found another polished wheel cleaner as good and easy to use as this stuff is. I have pretty much tried them all. Well before my show in Springfield I ordered a little over $100 of their products and told them I needed them here by the 29th. The package didn't make it. The following Tuesday I called and they told me they would call me right back after contacting UPS. They did about 15 minutes later. They found out that the package made a wrong turn in Kansas City and ended up in Arizona. I got it two days later. Today I got my mail and there was a check in there from California Customs for my shipping costs. This was a total surprise and unexpected. I never even thought of raising hell with them or asking for shipping costs back. Just thought it was very nice of them. I put this on the review board but wanted it here to so more would see that sometimes things can go right!

They both shine very well but the purple polish is so much easier and faster. You can get it online unless you can find a dealer somewhere.

For your wheels you need the oxidizer (green) and the purple polish. Especially if the wheels are pretty dull. The oxidizer loosens the oxidation so it can be removed easier with the purple. Everyone that I have gotten to use this stuff likes it.

Oh and follow the directions............

Huh? What is this stuff? Is it really any good? The wheels on my wife's Tahoe look terrible, like milky oxidation or something. Will this stuff clean it up? What's it called? Where can I get it?

It's called california Customs and it is only for polished alumiunum. It will not work on clearcoated wheels. It is not advertised and sold only at shows or on line. There may be very few places that carry it. Their advertisments is what I'm doing here........word of mouth. You can get their products online here........

Randy,
I just got a email from Cal.Customs on a vendor here in Baltimore. They sell it for the same price as online. I'll be stopping by there to pick some up. I guess the purple polish should do the trick since my wheels are kept in good shape, right? or do you think I should get both types?. Thanks

I would ask them since they can see your wheels up close. This stuff will make em look like chrome. You may be able to get by with just the purple. The MRon wax is pretty awesome too.

Well Randy, after all of your praise and hearing about California Customs products, I ordered some to try it out. It hasn't arrived yet but when it gets here and I put it to the test, I will let you know what I think of it. I'm sure it's just as good as you say it is.
