[cobalt9123]

If you missed the first thread, here it is: Prep for Sale Pt. 1 -- Undercarriage

This is the continuation and second in a series of threads which shows the preparation of my 2009 Cobalt SS Turbocharged for sale.
The car has already been sold, so these pictures are old, I just haven't gotten around to the write-ups since I've been so busy with school and work

Anyways, on to the thread!

--Chemicals and Tools Used--

--Before--

--Removing Old Balance Weight Adhesive--

--Spraying them down with Super Degreaser--

--Sonax Full Effect--

--Some of the metal was still stuck, so I had to use DP Clay in conjunction with the Sonax--

--Next One--

Yes, these are painted wheels so there is essentially no difference from using it on regular paint.

Amazing difference! I am excited to do the same to my wheels and hope that they turn out at least half as good as yours. I may have missed it in your post, but how long did it take per wheel?

Thanks! Glad to see another GA member on the boards. It took around 30-45 minutes per wheel. Some were worse than others with brake dust so they got some special attention with the clay.
