Feels good to have it shiny and clean again!!!

It was a beautiful day today and i figured it was time to tackle my wheels. Winter was not good to them! They were spotted and oxidized pretty bad. I picked up Meguiar's new polishing cone and some Busch Super Shine Aluminum Polish just for the task. The polishing cone was BADASS. It is VERY durable and can fit nooks and edges better than a Powerball (on wheels anyways). Took me ALL day to get them shiny, then washed the ol girl and went for a casual drive to snap a few pics. I love it, havnt been able to take any good pics of the truck lately.....but its on now!

Also painted my drums and rear axles with some satin black. going to go pick up a few more cans to do the whole underbody soon as well as get some high temp paint for my exhaust. took all the pics on my Android phone

Looks great. I've cleaned mine a few times this winter, but haven't spent time on it like I should have. I will give it some TLC in the next few weeks. Also needs a new battery and oil change.

I usually would but it was pretty clean so I just crawled under there and went town. It wasn't really rusty or dirty, just faded and stuff.
