If you have the time to spend on them, I would get yourself a cheap brush and a quart of paint stripper. Strip the clear off of them and further inspect the damage. From there, you can polish the rim or re-clear it.

What is the downside to using warm water to wash a car? Just curious...

It must be a trend. A Walmart about 30 miles north just went through a remodel and they're selling 48 oz containers of Gold Class for $4. I bought 2 bottles and I'm going to check again soon and see if they keep marking it down.

I have seen blocks (sold at HF) with sanding grit attached to them. They're sold in coarse, medium, and fine grits. Even the "fine grit" is rather course, however. Is that what you're talking about? Or are you talking about using sandpaper by hand, without attaching it to a sanding block?

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I may try to get some pics for you all today, showing the current condition of this thing.

PAR: Thank you for the welcome and the advice. pfix: I'll be sure to post some pics soon. The previous owner really neglected this thing and it's flat out saddening. Some of the interior will actually need replacement. I have seen interiors in worse shape. However, they have been in 20 y/o...

Good deal! So a coat of NXT followed by a coat of PB Natty would be a pretty good protection system?

Dubbin: Thanks for the suggestion on APC. I didn't realize it was safe on all wheels. I may have to get 2 gallons now. Lol Killr: Is there a big difference between wheel sealants and paint sealants? I have some Meguiar's NXT and I've read here that people often use it as a wax/sealant on...

Sharpcard: Thanks for the welcome! I'm still putting my list together, so I can't take advantage of these new deals yet. I'm sure there are more great deals to come though. AG has a lot of great sales it appears. What part of the state are you from, sir? Wendell: This forum is definitely a...

Thanks guys. I'm putting together a list right now of things to purchase from AG for my "starter kit". It's easy to spend money on this stuff! Wendell: I was hoping there would be at least somebody else from the state on here! Hopefully for you, the 2500 you have coming in, is not in as bad...

Hello all! This is a very nice site you have here. I've been creeping for a while and decided to make my first post tonight. I've learned a lot from what reading I have done and hope to learn much more. I'm currently building a '03 CCLB Dodge Ram 2500HD with a Cummins and it's a REAL mess...
