    These wheels are my Dad's that he puts on his truck during the nice part of the year. They had been sitting outside for a bit and needed some attention. He wanted them cleaned up before putting them on this year.

    These wheels had some pitting in the chrome, and I tried to clean them up as best as I could without damaging the wheels. They aren't perfect, but I tried my best. My Dad was happy either way, and he knew what the deal was with the pitting.

    Total Time: About 5 Hours

    This is what the clay looked like afterwards. Yes, I used a whole 8 oz. bar on these wheels.

    You have done a great job on those wheels, Roger! I've taken off wheels off my wife's car to detail them, and noticed that it is very time consuming...Did you say you used up 8 oz clay car on them??? I cleaned mine up with Megs Wheel Brightener, then removed tar with Tardis, and then clayed them...then wasn't much to clean up after WB and Tardis...
