Just wanted to say thanks to all the veterans out there, past and present.

Thanks for the help and the links guys. To answer the question about a hubcap that is basically true. The wheel itself is plain aluminum, and then the factory chrome plates a piece of plastic and then glues this plastic to the face (visible) portion of the aluminum. Like I said I don't...

Hello all, I just purchased a 2011 GMC Sierra and it has what GM calls chrome clad aluminum wheels on it. Basically the wheels are aluminum with a factory chrome plated piece of plastic on the visible face. I can't say I like this design, but the truck had all the other options I wanted so I...

Thanks again. You are correct in that I don't have a DA polisher. I would like to get one, but I see that most of the good ones that last cost upwards of $300, not including any pads. At the moment I don't have $400 to invest in a DA and pads. I plan to get one in the spring, but for now...

So I tried claying a car for the first time this past weekend and came away mostly happy except for one issue. First I used a Meguiars smooth surface clay bar kit and followed the directions it came with along with some advice/guidance on this site. The claying part went very well, and after...

Hello all, I am a new member to the site. I have been a car nut for many years now, but was always more focused on performance and racing rather than appearance. Don't get me wrong; I always took pride in cleaning and maintaining my vehicles. However I have never really gone into the depth...
