    Hey EW great work! Nice pics of all the work too

    What tool did you use to polish up the wheels? Or did you do the work with a microfiber towel and elbow grease?

    I'm hunting for a good polishing ball looking for advise.

    Thanks!

    For the wheels I used the Flex3401 and a 5in Lake Country Orange Medium Cut pad for all large surfaces. For the harder to reach areas we attacked it with the Meguiars dyna cone and an electric drill! A few areas had to be worked by hand, but the majority of the shine came from those two tools. I highly recommend the optimum metal polish. A little goes a long way!

    That's nice work. When I read semi detail, I was thinking partial detail.

    That 50/50 on metal is the money shot. Awesome work. Looks like some fun tackling that big of a rig. I'm peanut butter and jealous!
