Undercoated the wheel wells and detailed a little bit

[IIGood]

Dude...even BEFORE you polished the insides of the wheels, they looked amazing! Now it's just gratuitous. LOL. I need to take mine off one day and clean the insides like that...I've owned the car since new (it's an '03) and I have yet to do that. It's my DD too. I try to keep 'er as clean as possible...I hate this time of year when it's cold and damn near impossible to get a good cleaning applied. Did manager to wash it today though; weather broke a little bit so I took advantage of it.

Very nice...the wheel wells tend to turn grey and dingy over time. Yours really show off those awesome rims and tires.

Thanks. I really just wanted the protection and I figured I might as well clean it while I was at it.

Nice job Kevin!

Thanks Bill.

Man, do you sleep with that thing? That's got to be one of the cleanest cars I've seen. There's no way i could even begain to keep mine that clean. Look's great. Pearl02.

LOL... Thanks.

Yeah, I figured I would do it when the weather started to turn sour.

If you do it once a year, you can keep it pretty clean.

What did you use to polish those rims? Did you do it by hand or use a drill?

I've got a porter cable as well....and none of my stuff looks that good!

seriously and as some others have already mentioned..... as I scanned the thread and saw the pic that turned out to be the "cleaned" shot, I thought that was the painted shot for sure!

What the hell is a Porter Cable? I was thinking something along the lines of a Mothers power ball.

Its the best polisher known to man

Its a random orbit, variable speed electric buffer/polisher. You can get it with the right pads (need about 6 different ones) for just under $200

I love it when someone knows how to pay attention to detail.

It always kills me when I see a virtually clean car on the outside with dirty neglected fender wells.

Stop talking about my car like that...

When I pull my motor this spring I fully plan on doing the same thing while its all apart (have to change the rack as well). Its got a ton of grease and junk and needs to look more like the OP's pics.....

I did them by hand with microfiber towels exactly like this.

I only use the Porter Cable for the paint Bill. The wheels are done by hand.

I hear you. That's why I say it's the little things that add up!


Thanks all!
