Okay ... finally got a ....

So I did another round with the Mother's Mag Polish and the Big Red Ball. I was a little amazed just how much duller the wheels had gotten in just 2 or 3 weeks since I did them last (no protected with anything) ... :blush:

So, since in prep for the ceramic stuff, I wiped down the wheels with a terry cloth and alcohol. Wow ... lots of black stuff. Tough getting the polish out from between the spokes and in the nooks and crannies. I used a plastic body molding tool with a terry cloth rag wrapped around the end and soaked in alcohol.

Next I put the ceramic stuff on with a micro towel. Used the same tool with the micro fiber towel on it to apply as well.

I then did a little tire shine, mainly because I got some polish on them.

For a set of 5 year old Tri wheels and tires, I think they look better than when I did my 15 Tri's with clear coat. I don't think the ceramic will chip and peel like the clear coat did.

Here's what I mean by lots of black stuff:

Question for any to answer: What is the best way to get the front wheel done. I'm not too keen on pulling the wheel and removing the rotors ... that may be a winter project.

Aluminum always gives up black stuff. That's why the old Honda's had clear coated levers. Otherwise your hands would turn black.

Shouldn't any more ... I'm hoping the ceramic will seal that ... :D

Fuzzy, did you use the same ceramic that you use on the paint or a different product?

Thanks

It's a different product from the same manufacturer ... it's designed for wheels.

I had thought I purchased the 7 piece set with all the extras, but, when it arrived as just the sealer, I went back and checked, sure enough, I didn't ... LOL.
