I got the lips back today and couldn't wait to put one of the wheels together. I'm going to take it apart again so I can clean the barrels properly but here is one of the rears.

Hey Eddy, I took the lips to Alberta Wheel Repair. This is my second experience with them and they've been first class all the way.

thanks dudes. Woke up this morning and had to double check to make sure these were still real

ok - Hoping I can get some advice from any of you who have experience cleaning baked on dirt and grease. This is a picture of one of the barrels after over an hour of scrubbing. You can see the kind of results I'm getting towards the right hand side of the picture. Previously, it all looked worse than the left hand side of the wheel shown in the pic. I've tried soap and water before I moved on to CLR metal cleaner. Then I tried the CLR cleaner in combination with a hand polisher. Finally, when I still wasn't getting the results I wanted, I tried a spray bottle of Simonz wheel cleaner - the stuff that sprays on yellow and turns red after a couple of minutes (and smells like a dog sh1t and piss birthday cake)



I've done some searches to try and find products that get good results and saw this video:

Couple of thoughts. First - That music... Second - Seems like it work but I can't seem to find it available locally. In any case, before I throw any more money at cleaning products I'd love to hear some of your recommendations.

Sonax and let it soak. I have that on my winter wheels that I have to clean very soon.

Or hot water pressure wash.

Finally got the car back from paint this morning. I forgot how great this thing drives - definitely a big improvement over the Malibu courtesy car I've been driving for 4 weeks!

It's going to need a good polish but here is a quick snap of the shaved side-markers.
