Best way to clean the "flakes"...

I used to clean my wheels with some cleaner and a paper towel/toothbrush combo but there us a much easier way...just use a really soft sponge that can get in there and they clean up pretty quick. Just a quick hint for anyone having trouble keepin the dust off their wheels without an hour of cleaning.

i just started cleanin up my second set of snowflakes, bought some sprayable aircraft grade paint stripper, he he, strip then il re clear em, make em look brand new, wlel excpet for the gashes and scratches on the edges of em

My wheels dont look so good after I wash them
The finish looks dull and i have to go over them with something like Armor All. But that doesn't last long. My question is if you strip off the factory annodized finish then do you have to put a new finish back on or will the bare metal polish up ok? Please explain whats the best way to strip the wheels if in fact they don't required being re-finished.

Check out Dan E's TC in the showroom. They don't call him Dan the polishing man for nothing!

DAM they look like they are chrome. are you shure he didnt dip them or something?

Pretty sweet, huh. Not chrome dipped, he polished those bad boys. Use the search engine on this site for polishing wheels and you will get lots of posts on how he did it. Be ready for "very time consuming and tiring"

um mine have very bad break dust on them. if i were to take them off would it be bad to douse them in some kind of acid? i already did one taking me 2 hours spraying 409 and the Orange all pourpose cleaner on them scrubbing with a toothbrush
