Wheel Wells, Rims and Tires Rims, wheel wells and tires make a bold statement for the appearance of the vehicle, do you know how to properly detail these key components? Would you like to learn?

Default Started my spring cleaning (pics)

I started on my car finally I needed my tires rotated so my mechanic let me take them home and clean them up..... my mud flaps too That was much eaiser than the last time I did those darn mud flaps

Ps21
XO brush fit perfect ~ Thanks Jimmie
CG VRP
2 coats of HGSG



Dirty dirty dirty



XO brush fit perfect



All better



I even dressed the inside of the tires just to mess with my mechanic



He thought I was nuts when I told him I was going to clean the mud flaps





Ok... he already thinks I am nuts Asking for the mud flaps didn't help I hope to have the rest posted tomorrow

If you have a regular mechanic I would ask. I take the car to them right at closing the night before, then take them back first thing in the morning. That way I don't cause them any extra down time by tying up their lift.
