    Yep, thats what mine look like. When the wheel weights get removed for balancing the coating/paint (Whatever that is) comes off with them. Then when you scrub them with a brush the rest just peels...

    Re: Wheel barrels that aren’t worth cleaning?

    Those look like the barrels on my own escalade and in better shape. Probably because they've never been cleaned. lol

    Re: Discoloration in charcoal/Black seat leather

    Have you already tried cleaning it and what products have you used? There are many leather cleaners available and one of my favorites is from Griot's Garage, which can be found here. Search

    Yes, OEM. Anyone who details these trucks (at least the last gen) knows the horror of cleaning GM wheels.

    Not mine, but found this online. I guess you can say they use a cheap spray can type paint over the cast aluminum, cause it will peel off in a year or two after ownership. Its not a...

    Re: Wheel barrels that aren’t worth cleaning?

    I own a 2014 Escalade, sticker was 84k. Unfinished bare aluminum barrels. I'll go out and take a pic later. Maybe they recently changed their supplier... However, I wouldn't buy another after this...

    Re: Wheel barrels that aren’t worth cleaning?

    Same way on GM's top of the line SUV (Escalade) which can topple six figures. Bare unfinished aluminum barrels, GM should be ashamed of themselves.

    I feel like your clients find vehicles for you to flip for them. ;) Looks like you removed 50 years of oxidation! Outstanding work.

    Third law of motion? I was thinking more on the lines of the second law, but I could be wrong. Anyway, they do claim a pencil hardness rather than Mohs, which is a bit misleading and indeed doesn't...

  16. Re: How do you clean underhood cast aluminum parts

    Cast aluminum products under the hood are a pain to clean and even worse if you want to keep them brightened, per say. Dirt and filth over time cause a darkening effect to the metal. I've found the...

    My 8hp metro is a must have for me. It will get water out of every nook and cranny that you'll never remove with a regular leaf blower or towel. Nothing is worse than trying to polish and or apply...

    Re: Not your average coating recommendation

    Why not just keep the same one if you're having good luck? IMO, if you'd like to offer a more expensive option, look into the pro versions, such as Carpro or something alike?

    Re: Tire Cleaner hurt CQuartz on wheels?

    Isn't that more 'trim specific'? I've used Dlux on wheels and calipers with lackluster results in my experience. McKee's makes one specifically for wheels, but I have yet to use it.

    Re: Clear Coat Question for the pro’s

    Hard to tell from the pics, but it might be clear overspray from a sloppy body shop. I've seen it many times before. Can you feel the 'dots' when you run your hand over it?
