So, it's time to rotate the wheels on Clara's Durango. This is the first time I've had them off. The barrels had been previously sprayed with Permanon which had been doing a good job at protecting them. They were cleaning up easily whenever I washed it.
But, since I was going to be removing them, I figured I'd up the ante and clean, polish and seal them. I just shot a few shots with my iphone4 which aren't that great, but you get the idea anyway.
BEFORE:
CLEANING:
First up, I sprayed them with IronX. I then sprayed some IX on a grout sponge and agitated the area. This was sprayed off with my pw. I then gave it a quick wipe down and used TarX on any remaining spots. I used a different grout sponge and agitated those spots until they were gone. I then washed the barrel with a Dawn soap mix and pw'd again. The barrels were then dried thoroughly.
POLISH:
This is exactly the kind of job I got my 3" GG ROP polisher for and it worked like a charm in this case. I used a 4" Buff and Shine yellow pad and M205. That was wiped off well.
SEALING IT IN:
I used OG on a mf applicator pad. I definitely used more product with this method than the foam block and suede mf's, but it would have been difficult to do it in every area like I did with the mf pad. Every visible area on the back of the wheel was coated.
