looks good is it me or is there a hint off blue in that silver

looks good mate, what did you use to clean your wheel with? any products or just hard work?

 

[AlexG]

looks good i painted the little bit of the hub on mine which you can see through the wheels.

use a brillo pad to clean the inside of the wheels and some fairy powerspray worked well. once you waxed them inside they stay clean though and the dirt just wipes of with a sponge and some water next time

good tip. suppose we should know its much easier to clean your car if its polished often.

Any tips on how to clean the carbon off stainless steel. As i have a dirty layer on my exhaust.

any way look good, inspired me to do mine.

get under there with some fairy liquid or similar first and a brush to shift some of the crap then i think you need metal polish called autosol and some wire wool to polish it all off

With wheels back on looks so much batter!
