    My OEM 01 Mustang wheels

    Nothing special. Just my stock 17" rims on our 01 GT. Took them off to clean for the All Mustang Show this weekend at Summit Racing.

    -ARO to clean them along with a few different brushes
    -DP Wheel glaze to give them the shine inside and out. Love me some DP Product. Still have a lot of DP product left from before they merged.

    It's always nice to pull the wheels off once in a while for a good cleaning. Next time around, I would recommend polishing the wheels and apply a ceramic coating. Wheel Glaze is a great product but the ceramic coating is more durable and longer lasting.

    Bobby,

    What polish do you recommend for wheels? The outside has a coating over the metal but the inside doesnt seem like it. Ill keep the Ceramic coating in mind. Thanks. Been thinking about it for the car.

    These wheels get a full cleaning twice a year. July and October, for 2 big shows.

    Shes nothing special but shes very clean for an 01. Has 68K. Purchased almost 10 years ago with 55K from an old lady.

    Those wheels are factory painted with clear coat. You can polish the wheels with the same polish that you would use on your paint. I like to work with the Wolfgang Polishes and Compounds. Wolfgang Concours Series Car Care, paint sealant, german car care products, wolfgang paint sealant, car wax

    Re: My OEM 01 Mustang wheels

    ok, wasnt sure if you had something different in mind with them being wheels. I currently have Megs 105/205 in my possession. I would have to get some of those small pads though but i dont have a small polisher. i could use my drill though if they make a small adaptar. i use cyclone 4" pads with the 3M headlight kit drill adaptar currently for smaller areas on cars but that would still be too large for area on these rims. I also have the Mother powercone but im not sure how aggressive of a pad that actually is. Thanks Bobby, ill do some digging.
