Fought boredom, cleaned car!
I've been lazy on posts recently so I decided to share some pics of my beautiful pearl with everyone..
I finally decided to give her a nice scrub and it only took me 2 hours, lol! I had to scrub a lot of muck off the wheels and I still have a bit of crap on them.. Anybody know of anything good to use on Aluminum..? I mean, anything cheap? The interiors next.. Not looking forward to that.

It looks beautiful.
As long as the wheels aren't bare aluminum, Ardex Acid Wheel cleaner is the best on the market. http://ardexwax.com/Product_Page.html#Wheel_Cleaners I sell cars for a living, and use this wheel cleaner on them all. No matter how bad the wheels are, they always come out looking awesome.

Re: Fought boredom, cleaned car!
Wow yeah that does look nice but yes they are bare aluminum. I got a few items for cleaning up my car and even vacumed!
The real suprise was the headlight restoral stuff I got at walmart. All I had to do was put it on and let it sit for a few mins then wipe it off.

I think he meant the finish. Your wheels look painted.

Re: Fought boredom, cleaned car!
Mother's aluminum cleaner is easily available and cheap. If you can get your hands on some, get some Britemax aluminum wheel cleaner. It's a two step that works pretty sweet, actually better than anything else I've used for bare aluminum. I've detailed a LOT of cars, and I have yet to see its equal.
What is IDEAL is getting a small (I have a 3") orbital buffer and going to town with aluminum polish and sealer. However, if you don't have a buffer you can do it by hand, it just won't look as good. Or you could just use a drill and get the power ball, or whatever it's called. GreenMarine: I'll have to remember that ardex. We just bought another Cyclo (BEST buffer ever) from autogeek.com last night, and we were looking around for anything else that might catch our eye. We'll have to add that to our order!
