Wife asleep. Me bored. Got out the lube and rubbed one out. My bad?
Looks like a nice day tomorrow so I am thinking I will do a full detail on the car. Since the wife was already asleep, I figured I would get a head-start. Got out the vaseline and started into it. I will get the other 3 wheels tomorrow.
My 'date' for the night.  The 'lube'  Mmmmm .. anticipation  Let the rubbin begin!  I need to clean up this mess!  All done. I feel sleepy now.

The reverse five finger grip will give more control for future reference ;-)

Make sure to Armor All the tires - treads and all. I understand it makes all the difference.

I was wondering why you needed lube. I mean, a roll of paper towels and a Playboy issue should suffice.

Actually, the other 3 wheels will go easier if I let the car sit outside to warm up a bit.
The vaseline goes on better when the wheels are warm and you don't have to let them set for as long for the jelly to do its thing. I let this wheel percolate for about 2 hours before I cleaned it up.

Not to sound stupid but what is the point of the vaseline on the wheel?

Vaseline is the Porsche recommended polish for Fuchs wheels. I will look up the page number from the owner's manual tomorrow.

Are the pages in your owner's manual stuck together?

What are you going to tell your wife when you crawl in bed smelling like you just hand fuched yourself?

I don't get it. Wouldn't every bug, leaf and bit of road dust just stick to your wheels. I guess its a surface oxidation thing with the aluminum. I think most aluminum polishes like Mother's for example, have some waxy or light petroleum compound that protects the metal.
