looks fantastic...

did you take the tires off? (did i miss the answer to that question?)

what does that stuff do if you get it on rubber?

what did it do to the paint on the centers?

thanks

Doug, two wheels had tires and two did not. It had no effect on the factory paint, but I am not sure what it would do to paint that someone else had applied. The cleaner did absolutley nothing to the rubber- tires or my gloves. Skin, now that is a different matter all together!

you might consider using Liquid Glass sealant to seal that shine in, I did that to my Airstream and it sealed the aluminum skin very well. It has lasted for 6-7 months thru winter weather also. 17 bucks a bottle at Pep Boys and other places, but a little goes a long way. One can did my 28' rig twice with a little left over.

Having done this a few times, I would say stripping the anodization off is about 25% of the work involved getting them to a fully polished look. Just doing the rims saves a lot of extra work. It also helps to have the valve stem off them if possible. Nice work, and see, you didn't need to send them out!
